McVay's run game

That article lost my attention the second they put Bobby Brown and dilemma in the same sentence. That was a dilemma? In what fooking world?

I had selective reading on that part hahaha

That bald dude is a dumb fuck. Whiners a threat? Fuck up dumbass! We are the threat as long as we stay healthy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, don't the 9ers have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL next year? I hate em but not counting them out. They have to prove some injury prone and aging players can stay healthy but if they do and that schedule bares out, they're gonna be a real threat to us for the NFC West.

Good article and the primary reason I don't see Kyren resigned.

Why Kyren Williams is Odd-Man Out in 2026 negotiations

When an NFL franchise becomes as good as the Los Angeles Rams or Detroit Lions have become, the team must pick and choose who they want to extend and who they m

Appreciate you sharing but most everything from SI these days is fans-slop except for Breer.

Whiners have one thing in their favor. Weakest schedule in the league. But they won't have the horses to keep up with the upper echelon teams. McCaffrey says he feels better. But they always say that. He's probably gonna be battling injuries during the season. I seriously doubt he'll be anywhere near the 2023 version.

Deebo's gone. Aiyuk won't be available till midseason. And he'll need time to get in football shape. If he ever does. He missed most of camp last year and wasn't very good the 7 games he played.

Aside from Trent Williams their offensive line was a weak spot. And they didn't do anything to improve it. They were bad in run defense and they're counting on rookies to change improve it. That's always a risk. Some think their first round pick was a reach.

Bottom line, their roster is not what it was a few years ago. Core players are aging or gone. More than half their defensive starters are gone. I have a hard time buying into the idea they're still an elite team. With the schedule they might win 9 or 10 games. But they won't last long if they make the playoffs.

williams is on fumes. To me, that’s gonna hurt immensely unless they have been developing his replacement because his backup signed elsewhere.

Unless they hit on their defensive picks like the Rams have done the past two drafts, their defense is not gonna scare anybody.
…and their best WR stills wants HIS $$!

No, outside of an easier schedule, the Rams would have to fail to meet expectations and come back to the group in the NFC West for the 9ers to win that division.

I don't see them bouncing back. CMC isn't any younger and has always been injury prone. Stating strength of schedule before games start is fools gold. For example, no one saw Washington or Minnesota as teams that would win as much as they did. I'm just going with my gut that SF will not bounce back nor make the playoffs.

There's been concern among people in SF that CMC's achilles problem is chronic. Right now he says he feels good. But he hasn't tested the achilles yet. He's been a heavily used back in both the run and passing game. At the age where heavily used RB's start to break down and decline. He's the key to Brock Purdy's success. Without his elite production I wouldn't be surprised if their fans start grumbling that it was a mistake to pay Purdy that much. He's a very good game manager. But that is predicated on high end talent around him. I don't see him having that this year.

 

[DzRams]

Agreed with the article...but they're forgetting names like Steve Avila in that category. I think he's done more than enough to be re-signed. Ethan Evans should be re-signed as well, but he'll be cheaper.

Either way, I think the smart move would be to move K-Will for a mid-round pick at the trade deadline and roll with Corum and Hunter as a tandem.

I think we need to see a good year from Avila before we put him in the 3rd year extension category.

He was really good his rookie season but just ok last year. If he's really good again, I'd extend him early. But if he merely has a decent season like last year, I'd let him play out his contract and see how year 4 looks to determine what to offer in free agency.

 

[muggmeister]

Just like the Rams should release Colby Parkisian? It’s funny how some Rams Fans are ? Fair enough we all have players we like & don’t like. Just upsetting.

My point in Kyren Williams & The Rams was in a DEEP RB class you protect yourself as a TEAM against these situations.

We can look at the HISTORY of The MCSNEAD ERA & see how they work.I don’t always AGREE,but certain Players Earn Better & there Right to BE RAMS !!!

Kyren Williams deserves better than he gets as a Player!! There is gamesmanship that goes on with NEGOTIATIONS.

I’ll just say Right Now both are in a sweet spot.I’d say a 3 year contract would be nice!! It’d workout real well for The Rams.

Anyways I’ve got more on this subject which gets deeper.

There is no fucking way we pay a RB after spending 3rd and 4th round picks on RB in the last 2 drafts. The last thing I want to see is money tied to Williams impacting the ability to sign Nacua, Young, Turner and Avila to extensions. KW is much more easily replaceable as the replacements are already on the roster. NO BIG MONEY TO A RB at this point. Quit paying motherfuckers for past production and pay them for what you to belive to be future production.

If you can predict future production, you should contact all 32 NFL teams immediately and start a price war for your services.

Avila, Puka, Turner and Young will be eligible for extensions next offseason. Rams don't have to but letting them go into next season not knowing if they will extend them can have adverse affects. Especially if they hold out during camp. Can we keep all 4 beyond their rookie contracts?

I'd wager the only 2 we keep of those 4 are Avila and Puka. Young was made expendable with this draft IMO and I'd love to keep Turner but I think he's replaceable in the end, maybe even by this draft as well.

I agree with you on Avila, Puka & Young.
But Kobie Turner replaceable?!? Man I think of him as a Rams mainstay & foundational piece of the DL for the next 4-5 years.

Agree on Young. Disagree on Turner. He’s the leader of that front 7 right now.

Yeah, I think only puka and kobie will be offered extensions.

Avila has to show it this season.

Young, I'm not so sure.

I'd love them to keep all of them if they could.

Rams just drafted Young's replacement. For Young to stick around he'll need a massive year. Chances are he's gone I'd say, and I expect the rook to eat into his snaps this season as well.

Avila I agree needs a bounce back season. Them trying him at C seemed to really fuck him up, he just wasn't the same thereafter but Rams will want to see the good version.

Nacua seems like a given.

Turner seems like a given too, assuming he continues doing what he's done.

Avila needs to improve greatly to get consideration for a big contract.
He was not good last year, bottom line.
Injuries and all rest played a role for sure, but, he regressed quite a bit last year.
Would love for him to get back into form and earn a nice raise.

Possible but you don't think Verse or Fiske are just as capable of leading?

I'm not saying I don't like KT or that I don't think he's good. But not everyone can be retained. The one thing that can possibly help him stay is Stafford retiring and being replaced by a rookie.

That said I don't think them moving on from KT in a year or two is impossible. All depends on his asking price and what other big contracts we give out.

Id put any regression, which to me is minor, on them trying him at center. This year even with a weak center next to him he'll rebound. A full camp at guard assures that imo.

Anything is possible. Mainstays and foundational pieces to fans have been moved on. I like KT a lot but there are very very few players that can't be replaced. Like with Young we may have already drafted his successor in Hamilton.

We shall see.
I would put most of it to injuries, and, guys can have down years.
His pass blocking was terrible in stretches.
I expect him to bounce back in a big way.
Turner and Puka are sure to get good offers.
I think Young and Avila are up in the air.
