Don't you just love to see the energy Puka brings to the Rams!
I do, but id love it even more if he could mature up and not cause unwanted attention to the franchise. He's young, I get it,... I was too... but when the spotlight is continually on you, your track record begins to gain momentum in a positive or negative way. Hope he dials it back.
 
Someone's gonna try to sell that shit on Ebay as the real thing. :laugh1:
 
Speaking of previews, I purchased Lindys 2026 NFL Preview and The Sporting News 2026 Preview.

Lindys ranked these by conference:

Rams as the #1 passing game
#4 Run game
#3 Secondary
#2 Edge rushers
#2 Defensive line
#1
Offense
#2 Best in the trenches
#1 Best skilled talent

And that was before the Garrett trade.

TSN (of Garrett) said, "while Garrett got most of the headlines for the Browns defensive unit thanks to his pass rushing exploits, he also excelled vs the run. He graded out at 82.5 vs the run by PFF, which was #3 among all edge rushers."

I say, dayem!!! BY is pretty good vs the run too, so we should have quite the stout DL and consequently an overall stout D too.

TSN (of Young) said; "edge rusher Byron Young is a complete OLB who uses his 250 lb. frame just as well vs the run."

The Rams had 47 sacks, tied for #7 with the Texans but blitzed just 18% of the time, the 2nd lowest rate in the league!

Have been a big fan of BY. I have noticed his improvement and discipline on the edge each season. He hustles. I want the Rams to offer him an extension.

I like Byron Young as well but he might get a huge contract if he puts up another 8-10 sack season. Might have to settle for a comp pick. And as much as I like him I think Kobe Turner is more important to the D-line. I sure hope they resign both though.

Conner Orr's 14 teams that can win the Super Bowl

I feel like the Rams are in a tier above the rest of the NFL right now. Because of that, I do not believe that division rivals like the Seahawks and 49ers are necessarily done adding. I am building in the possibility that either John Schneider or John Lynch has another trick up his sleeve before we arrive at Week 1.
The first part sounds nice......and this sounds really nice.

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are the obvious, heavy-hitting front-runners on this list. The additions of Myles Garrett, Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie to a team that was a few plays away from going to the Super Bowl is the clearest example of Les Snead and Sean McVay appropriately reading their roster and honing in on the right time to triple down. The Rams’ schedule is relentless, and managing rest for both Garrett and Matthew Stafford will be a major storyline this coming season, especially after beginning the season in Australia. Still, it would be fair to say the Rams were on equal footing from a talent perspective with the Seahawks last year and made premium upgrades in every area where they were deficient, whereas Seattle had a post–Legion of Boom redux where it had to confront the difficulty of paying certain Super Bowl–winning stars versus opting to save elsewhere. Anyone who does not rank the Rams as one of the two or three top Super Bowl contenders is simply overthinking it. This is one of the best preseason, on-paper teams I have ever seen.

And I really wanted them to blitz Darnold more often.
