As I said above but maybe missed: we should sign players, who are elevated from practice squads, to the full roster who can elevate our teams:
Worth keeping an eye on this week as he’s been elevated for the first time this season:

Worth keeping an eye on this week as he’s been elevated for the first time this season:
Cole Wisniewski
He played LB and S in college and was drafted primarily for special teams- Special Teams Projection: Evaluated as a natural fit for special teams coverage units and downhill run-defense sub-packages due to his physicality and background at linebacker.
- Current Status: Waived at the end of August 2026 and re-signed/elevated to provide depth and special teams value for the Eagles during the regular season. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Eagles Practice Squad Players Most Likely to Be Promoted (Including WR With a Big Role)
The Philadelphia Eagles have finalized their 17-man practice squad this week, an extension of their 53-man roster. The practice squad is important to the Eagle

Just bumping this.. because I truly cannot believe how fucking terrible this part of the team is. Bachman returning kicks and punts? Gimme a break. Might as well use the roster spot for something useful and just have someone go out there and fair catch every time.
Coverage so bad you got your fucking new fucking kicker injured trying to make a tackle.
Unfuckingbelieveable.

Do you think that'll matter? Not being snarky.
My feeling is that the ST talent is just shit.. and I'm no expert at all.
Yes. Yes it matters.
It matters because when players don't play well, their accountability is sitting their ass on the pine. So when a coach doesn't do his job well, he is fired. And if you allow a coach to fuck up an entire third of the game without paying with his job, you are sending a shitty message to your team. It is no different than opting to not bench a player when he isn't doing the job on the field.
I love McVay but he seems to have developed a "blind spot" on that aspect of the team. Our special teams don't need to be #1 in the NFL, but at least top half or top 1/3rd. How most losses by the Rams going back to last season were nearly all or mostly on the special teams. Even against the shit hawks we kicked out of the end zone because we were scared of Shaheed which is a huge advantage for the receiving team. And worse if the stakes are high
The unit is so bad, it ended up getting a kicker hurt and I believe Grupe would have been very solid. I do not understand what this unit or why they cannot contain returners. McVay not only has a blind spot for special teams, he cannot find a decent coach too.
Now, the Rams do not have the best resources to ST Coaches, but Chase Blackburn & Bubba Ventrone are not or were not considered upper tier ST Coaches. For God sake go hire a ST Coach with a history of success and provide that coach with the resources to improve this sorry ass cast of castoffs that continue to contribute to losing football games.
