RAMS TRADE RUMORS: Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford on their way out as the Rams prepare for Vikings?23 Oct 202400:23:06
What is going on in Los Angeles? There are a handful of trade rumors floating around, and at the forefront of these conversations are Super Bowl Champions Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. What's the reality that one, or both of these players get moved prior to this season being over? OR, are the Rams going to hold onto both and hope their roster gets healthy enough to make a playoff run in a season where the NFC West continues to struggle? Thoughts, reactions and much more in this one, as well as a quick preview on the Vikings. Brought to you by our partner, Autograph! Referral Code: RAMSBROS Referral Link: https://link.ag.fan/RAMSBROS
RAMS BEAT RAIDERS: Improving to 2-4 with a STRUGGLING Offense, Prepping for TNF vs. the Vikings21 Oct 202400:22:59
The Rams handled business against the Raiders yesterday in somewhat of an ugly win, 20-15 to improve to 2-4. The offense has been struggling to consistently put points on the board, but it was the young defense in this game that really set the tone and capitalized on every opportunity that the Raiders presented to them. Next up, the Rams will prepare for a short week and the Minnesota Vikings (who are coming off of their first loss to the Lions) with Cooper Kupp and Jordan Whittington in the line-up. Is it finally time to stack some wins and turn the season around? Brought to you by our partner, Autograph! Referral Code: RAMSBROS Referral Link: https://link.ag.fan/RAMSBROS
LIVE REACTION: Rams Get Dismantled by Cardinals in Arizona -- Kupp Hurt? San Francisco Next?15 Sep 202400:19:19
So, it turns out that the Rams were underdogs in Arizona for a reason. Tune in for the LIVE reaction to the Rams getting dismantled in the desert. Rams can't stop the run, and Cooper Kupp had to leave the game due to an injury to his ankle. Could today have gone any worse? Leave your thoughts, emotions, and outlook for this team in the comments below. Brought to you by Autograph, our newest partner! Referral Code: b1b3f930 Referral Link: https://link.ag.fan/b1b3f930
RBTP174: Aaron Donald and the Rams' defense NEEDS HELP in the 2023 NFL Draft, other moves around the NFL21 Mar 202300:38:59

The Rams have lost almost everyone to free agency, with the exception of Coleman Shelton. The others (Matt Gay, Nick Scott, Greg Gaines, Baker Mayfield, Matt Orzech, etc.) have found new homes across the league -- and the Rams aren't financially in a position to bring any of their main defensive talent back in 2023. With that being the case, the Rams need to nail the draft in 2023, with a HEAVY focus on EDGE and interior defensive line. One way to incentivize Aaron Donald to stick around (outside of the $60MM+ the Rams owe him over the next two years) is to surround him with young talent.

RBTP173: Jourdan Rodrigue joins to discuss the Rams’ 2023 approach, the window they’re opening for 2024/2025 & more!17 Mar 202300:38:45

Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic joins the show to discuss all of the Rams’ moving pieces over the last 2 months, as well as their approach moving into 2023 and beyond via the draft and free agency. As it pertains to the offense, is there an update we should expect to hear on Allen Robinson being moved, and is the addition of Hunter Long (plus a very deep TE draft class in 2023) signaling the end of the road for Tyler Higbee? Is the offensive line, made up of shaky depth and late-round draft picks enough to protect Matthew Stafford this year? And flipping to the other side of the ball – is there another team in the league who’s going to be dealing with this much defensive turnover? All of the latest Rams news is right here!

RBTP172: Jalen Ramsey traded, others likely to cut/traded as the Rams prepare for 2024-2025 & who IS Hunter Long?14 Mar 202300:44:17

Jalen Ramsey has finally been traded after 3 weeks of drama for a 3rd round pick and Hunter Long, as the Rams prepare for their roster re-model in 2024-2025. Ramsey won't be the last of their moves prior to the league year beginning -- look for players like Tyler Higbee and Allen Robinson to be either traded or released in the coming days as the Rams need to create roughly $10M in cap space before Wednesday of this week. Whether you're a Hunter Long fan or not, you have to find a way to be confident in the Rams' process and intent towards building a sustainable roster with less top-heavy contracts and a boat load of picks over the next few years. Little did we know that Sean McVay retiring would've led to a full-on organizational re-build. Which I don't think any of us were mentally prepared for.

RBTP171: Matthew Stafford isn't going anywhere, how the Rams are planning to re-model in 2023 and beyond10 Mar 202300:30:29

De-funking the Matthew Stafford trade rumors with a Les Snead press conference was exactly what us Rams fans needed to hear today. Not only was Matthew Stafford the center of Michael Lombardi's discussion on the Pat McAfee show this morning, but he was claiming that the Rams themselves were reaching out to see if they could trade Stafford. While Snead proved that to be true, he mentioned there are many teams around the league calling them to see what their plan is with their roster. Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford was rumored earlier this week to be retiring, and having Tommy John surgery on his elbow. Don't believe everything you read on Twitter, kids!

RBTP170: Allen Robinson, Leonard Floyd on their way out? How will the Rams continue to "re-tool" the roster?07 Mar 202300:45:22

Allen Robinson and Leonard Floyd were given permission to seek trades, as of this morning. Leonard Floyd was also told if a trade can't be made prior to the league year, the Rams will be releasing him to save on the 2023 cap. Although the salary cap increased over the past year, the Rams have some immensely difficult decisions to make: across free agency, and across their own roster BEFORE the league year begins on March 15th. How will they do it, and what are some moves that feel like they're bound to happen in time? They've certainly cut their losses and made some really tough decisions in years prior -- but this year, they really have their work cut out for them.

RBTP169: Is Jalen Ramsey on his way out of Los Angeles? Re-visiting some of the biggest blockbuster trades in NFL history28 Feb 202300:42:37

The Jalen Ramsey trade rumors are CONTINUING to circulate, and it's starting to feel real. Based on Ramsey's IG post today (drawing comparisons to Iverson's final days in Philadelphia) and the comments Ian Rapoport made on Pat McAfee's show today, the reports are very conflicting thus far. We take you through what a trade featuring Jalen Ramsey may look like by going back over the last 30-40 years and reviewing some of the biggest trades in NFL history. If the Rams are going to deal Ramsey, it has to be for a massive return, and an opportunity for the Rams to "re-tool" their core/roster.

RBTP168: Bobby Wagner and the Rams decide to part ways, chances of a Robert Woods reunion in LA, nearing end of the staff build24 Feb 202300:42:37

The Rams and Bobby Wagner have mutually decided to part ways, in effort to provide Wagner with a full offseason in pursuit of his next destination. There are a few places that may be a fit for Wagner, but cutting ties really begs a much deeper question: how important is the middle linebacker position in today's NFL? Additionally, we dive into the potential for Robert Woods to come back to Los Angeles, and look at proven LT's who've been recently released to get a better understanding of IF the Rams should eventually look to upgrade the position that protects Matthew Stafford's blindside. All of that, plus some detail on when the Rams expect to finalize their coaching staff. 

RBTP167: Rams 2023 Unrestricted Free Agents - who should stay, who should go & who else are we looking at?20 Feb 202300:41:27

The Rams have until March 15th (roughly 2.5 weeks) to decide on which unrestricted free agents they're planning on having return for the 2023-2024 season, and there are roughly 5 or so that we'd plan on prioritizing. The others will either be commanding plenty of $$ in free agency, or just haven't produced enough in their time with the Rams. Additionally, we look at the other unrestricted free agents throughout the league, and what position groups need the most help -- are the Rams in-business to make another huge free agency splash at a key position of need?

RBTP166: Jalen Ramsey trade rumors circulating, Aubrey Pleasant hired as Rams DB coach/pass game coordinator17 Feb 202300:44:51

The Jalen Ramsey trade rumors are starting to circulate -- but do we believe any of it to actually be true? Based on Kevin Demoff's most recent remarks, it seems the Rams may start thinking about moving Ramsey in the right situation. Additionally, we list three names that we really would like the Rams to bring on (Aubrey Pleasant being one) to help round out the coaching staff, and why Sean McVay's 6-year ride has been made increasingly difficult because of all the coaches that have been a) poached, or b) asked to leave on their own terms.

RBTP165: Raheem Morris is STAYING with the Rams, Super Bowl LVII Recap & next year's Super Bowl odds14 Feb 202300:38:54

After hearing the news that Shane Steichen is expected to finalize his deal as the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Rams fans can rejoice over the fact that their favorite defensive coordinator (Raheem Morris) is staying put. We also recapped the Super Bowl, what makes the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes duo so great, why the Eagles and Jalen Hurts are destined to return (and put on the best show fans could ask for) and looked at the upcoming Super Bowl odds for next season to see where the Rams are sitting.

Rams are UNDERDOGS in Arizona? Full Game Preview, Keys to Victory & Nick's Picks13 Sep 202400:32:31
The Rams are UNDERDOGS in Arizona? After Sean McVay has gone 13-2 (including playoffs) against this organization? Seems like a must-win for the Rams, who are traveling to play their 2nd straight road game against a team that showed they have some fight in Buffalo. Tune in for all of our predictions, keys to victory, and Nick's winning picks across the league. Brought to you by Autograph, our newest partner!

RBTP164: Rams hire OL Coach Ryan Wendell, the frontrunner for the ST Coordinator job, the 2023 jersey/helmet release, Nick's Super Bowl Picks10 Feb 202300:53:44

Rams hire OL coach Ryan Wendell from the Buffalo Bills, who spent his entire playing career with the New England Patriots. Now, the Rams are staffed up with two names who are familiar with the "Belichickian way" in Nick Caley and Ryan Wendell, and an offensive coordinator in Mike LaFleur who is very familiar with Kyle Shanahan and his system. The offensive staff is coming together, but where does that leave our defensive coordinator, who is being held hostage by Jim Irsay and the Colts, and our special teams coordinator? Additionally, we look at potential options for the new jersey/helmet combo in 2023, and lock in our picks for the Super Bowl.

RBTP163: Rams hire TE coach Nick Caley, Eyeing John Benton from NYJ & why losing Raheem Morris would really HURT07 Feb 202300:47:18

The Rams narrowed in on Nick Caley from New England, where he has 7 years of experience coaching TE's, FB's, and will act as an assistant to Sean McVay (which is similar to how Sean rose to be a top head coaching candidate). They're also looking at adding John Benton, who has coached in the NFL for over 20 years, and actually started his professional coaching career with the St. Louis Rams, coaching guys like Orlando Pace and Kyle Turley. Years later, he could be coming back to the Rams. Additionally, we dive into the handful of reasons why it would really hurt to lose Raheem Morris at this point, and go through the poll that was casted on Twitter -- leaving the option for fans to vote if they wanted him back or not.

RBTP162: Coaching changes impacting the Rams, re-tooling the Offensive Line & building the next winning phase03 Feb 202300:37:16

Coaching changes around the league and how they're impacting the Rams (focused on Raheem Morris and where we think he'll end up), figuring out a way to re-tool our offensive line (and comparing to the way the Chiefs overhauled their unit upfront after the 2021 Super Bowl loss), and how the Rams are going to build their next phase of winning with a re-vamped offense under McVay/LaFleur.

RBTP161: The search continues to fill McVay's staff, SF's next move at QB, NFC and AFC Championship Recap31 Jan 202300:39:55

The Rams’ coordinator search is continuing – as plenty of moves around the league are being made. We have our eyes on Raheem Morris’ next potential move, as he seems to be one of the favorites for the Colts’ HC position. Ejiro Evero is another name we’ve continued to watch, as he continues to be requested for interviews as a head coach. Outside of that, the Rams have to fill their special teams coordinator role, as well as their offensive line coach – which are two jobs that are going to matter immensely down the stretch. We also took some time to recap the AFC & NFC Championships, as we sat back and enjoyed the pain that San Francisco (and their fans) had to endure in Philadelphia. The Super Bowl is without a doubt going to be fun to watch – and will be an opportunity to keep “Nick’s Picks” alive and well, as they’ve been on fire recently.

RBTP160: Narrowing in on TWO coordinators to join Sean McVay's coaching staff & Nick's Championship Picks!27 Jan 202300:45:33

There is a ton of speculation circulating around Mike LaFleur, the former Jets offensive coordinator, potentially joining the Rams' staff. Because it seems so likely (and the perfect match overall), we dug into what our offense may look like after installing some of LaFleur & Shanahan's philosophies. On the defensive side of the ball, we explore what the world might look like if Raheem Morris becomes the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, while Ejiro Evero comes back to Los Angeles and joins forces (again) with Sean McVay, but in the DC role. Additionally, we previewed championship weekends and provided our LOCKS for each game in "Nick's Championship Picks".

RBTP159: Rams "re-tooling" process has begun, Big UFA's to focus on/positions to upgrade, Recapping the Divisional Round & more24 Jan 202300:45:25

The Rams' re-tooling process has already begun, with general manager Les Snead addressing some of the big vacancies that the Rams will inevitably have on the staff, as well as on the actual roster. Outside of recapping all of the divisional games, we addressed the pain the Rams' players & coaches must be feeling after watching SF go back to another conference championship game, while everyone is watching from home. The Rams can find a few UFA's, re-sign a few key players, bulk-up the depth on the offensive line and be right back in the driver's seat in no time... it just has to happen. And in time, we very much believe it will. Nothing seems to be off the table with this group -- and the fact that the core is still intact speaks to the lengths they'll go to re-create magic.

RBTP158: Sean McVay's coaching search continues, Why Morris should be appreciated, UFA's to focus on, Upcoming 2023 Draft Picks, Nick's Picks (Divisional Round Special)21 Jan 202300:45:25

Starting off with the divisional round preview (Nick's Picks), then diving into Sean McVay's continued coordinator search, which has now expanded into a position-group coaching search as the following have not been asked to re-join the staff next year: OL coach Kevin Carberry, Special Teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis, DB Coach Jonathan Cooley, Assistant DL Skyler Jones and Defensive Assistant Lance Schulters will not be returning, per source. We evaluate who could fill those roles, take another look at the upcoming UFA class, and the Rams' upcoming 10 draft picks in the 2023 draft (including compensatory picks), per Les Snead.

RBTP157: Sean McVay's Coaching Search Continues, Unrestricted Free Agents, Wildcard Weekend Recap & more!16 Jan 202300:40:26

Wildcard Weekend is almost wrapped up - kicked off with a full weekend recap on the 5 games that were played across Saturday & Sunday. Then, we dug into Sean McVay and the really interesting decisions he has to make when it comes to his coaching staff, whether it pertains to current staff members like Zac Robinson and Thomas Brown, or outside candidates to fill the offensive coordinator role, like Mike LaFleur, Frank Reich, Brian Johnson, Scott Turner & others. Additionally, if Raheem Morris leaves to become a head coach, that will leave a second coordinator job up for the grabs, and a few familiar faces may be in play. From there, we transitioned to Baker Mayfield and the unrestricted free agent class, comparable contracts, and who we'd potentially prioritize when the league year starts on March 15th.

RBTP156: Sean McVay is BACK as the Rams' Head Coach, Offensive and Defensive Coordinator Potential Replacements, Nick's Picks (Wildcard Weekend Special)14 Jan 202300:44:27

After a very confusing 48 hours or so -- Rams fans were at peace when we heard the news that Sean McVay would be coming back as the Rams' head coach. He made this announcement 24 hours AFTER permitting his assistants to seek other job opportunities, and is now working to replace the members that he is (pre-emptively) going to lose. Additionally, we look into potential replacements at Offensive Coordinator with Liam Coen on the run back to Kentucky with names like Frank Reich, Mike LaFleur and Kliff Kingsbury, and replacements at Defensive Coordinator if Raheem Morris is poached by a different team to be the head coach. For Nick's Picks this weekend, we dug into each Wild Card round match-up and selected our winners of the week, also.

RBTP155: Rams vs. Seahawks Recap, Ramsey, Wagner & the defense impressed, Sean McVay's next career move10 Jan 202300:40:26

The Rams fell 19-16 to the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle, ending their season with a 5-12 record and a TON of questions heading into the offseason. While a lot of younger players certainly stepped up in hopes to be along for the ride next year (Quentin Lake, Russ Yeast, Ernest Brown, etc.), there are a handful of veterans who have a very uncertain future. Aaron Donald, in particular, seems to be the one player who's linked to the core that still seems very undecided about playing next year. In the coach's room, Sean McVay and the Rams have a massive decision to make about Sean's future with the team. He's dealt with adversities in his personal life along with in his career that has led to a very exhausting existence. All in all - we want to know McVay isn't completely burnt out and is capable of coming back to coach. But first, he'll take a very long and well-deserved vacation to think it all through. He mentioned many times in his presser that "he's never been in this situation before", but very much believes he's not done coaching in this league.

LIVE REACTION: Rams overcome injuries, lose to Lions in OVERTIME09 Sep 202400:25:36
The Rams were as banged up as we've ever seen a team heading into Week 1, and still put up a hell of a fight against a Super Bowl contender in the Detroit Lions, in Detroit. Check in for our live reaction to the Rams' overtime loss: everything from overcoming injuries, McVay's adjusted gameplan, Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp getting back to their 2021 form, the young defense (led by the Rams' brand-new defensive coordinator, Chris Shula) and why the Rams will be just fine moving forward.
RBTP154: Rams vs. Seahawks Preview, Bobby Wagner's Redemption Game, Sending Goff & the Lions to the Playoffs, McVay's potential career change, Nick's Picks07 Jan 202300:42:58

Rams vs. Seahawks is always a must-watch game. There always seems to be SOMETHING on the line, even if one of the two teams are completely eliminated from playoff contention. This one is particularly interesting, because the Rams can simultaneously do the following things with a victory in Seattle: keep the Seahawks OUT of the playoffs, and potentially send Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions to the playoffs IF they're able to take down the Packers in Green Bay. Eyes will be focused on players named Bobby Wagner, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Akers, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker, D.K. Metcalf, Tariq Woolen and a handful of others. Additionally, we discuss Sean McVay's (potential) career change, our betting record through the season, and Nick's picks closes us out with his locks for the weekend.

RBTP153: Rams vs. Chargers Recap, Cam Akers' Resurgence, Defensive Inefficiencies, Chargers' Perfect Game03 Jan 202300:42:39

After a short break, we're back to cover the Rams' 31-10 loss at SoFi Stadium (considered an away game for the Rams), which now brings them to 5-11 on the 2022-2023 season. It's the most losses by a defending Super Bowl champ in NFL history, while the Chargers improve to 10-6. But does it have the same feeling of a normal 5-11 season? To us, the priority at this point is putting together a legitimately competitive group, while still evaluating some of the younger players to see what they're capable of for next year. At the same time, there's still reason to be critical of the schematic side (especially defensively) - and how the Rams' final game of the season can impact the NFC playoff picture.

RBTP152: Rams vs. Packers Full Game Preview, Look of Rams' Offense after more Baker time, Rodgers' Future, Packers' Defensive Inefficiencies & Nick's Picks15 Dec 202200:51:14

The Rams have to travel to Lambeau Field this upcoming Monday night to play the 5-8 Packers in what's expected to be the Rams' coldest game since 1992. When weather plays a factor and both teams are trending in the wrong direction, what are some of the elements that help propel you to a victory? Smart coaching, winning at the line of scrimmage, a solid commitment to the run game and a little bit of what we saw with Jared Goff in 2017 & 2018 (schematically). Keep the gameplan simplified, capitalize on where the Packers are weak defensively, and bring them down into the depth of no postseason with us. Nick's picks are coming off a tough week, but had a shirt made in honor of his segment (that he shows off) and feels confident in this weekend's slate of games.

RBTP151: Rams vs. Raiders Full Game Recap, Baker Mayfield's Heroic Debut, Raiders have the worst coach in the NFL, Nick's Picks10 Dec 202200:52:42

The Rams defeated the Raiders in dramatic fashion in SoFi Stadium last night, 17-16. It wasn't only Baker Mayfield's debut... but it was his debut after getting claimed 48 hours prior by Sean McVay and the Rams. In miraculous fashion (and after only putting up 3 points in the first half) the Rams' offense began clicking halfway through the fourth quarter and the Raheem Morris' defense simultaneously decided to play the best form of complementary football possible - while only allowing 67 yards in total in the second half. In one of the more thrilling games we've seen all season, it was the Rams who came away on top - and it was equality in part due to Josh McDaniels' coaching style down the stretch. Only one way to define it: "scared". The Rams meanwhile took plenty of risks - and they all paid off.

RBTP150: Rams vs. Seahawks Full Game Recap, Players who Outperformed Expectations, TNF Raiders Preview & #MondayPain06 Dec 202200:53:47

The Seahawks beat the Rams, 27-23 and improve to 7-5 while the Rams drop to 3-9 and have lost 6-straight games, which is the worst start for a reigning Super Bowl champion in NFL history. The Rams now have to do some continued digging and look at their current roster to see how they're going to approach the offseason. While a handful of players outperformed our expectations, the end result wasn't what we wanted to see (after being in position to win), but there were some signs of life on both sides of the ball. #MondayPain is continued & we sneak in a Raiders preview as well on a short week.

RBTP149: Rams vs. Seahawks Game Preview, Geno Smith's "Historic" Season, Commit to the run and win with Perkins & Nick's Picks02 Dec 202200:49:27

The Rams are back at home this weekend to face a familiar foe in the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are struggling, too, after failing (in Munich) to beat Brady, resting for a bye week, then losing a tough game in overtime to Josh Jacobs and the Las Vegas Raiders. But that three-week stretch is nothing compared to the Rams' 5-game losing streak they're currently battling against, and another winless November's in consecutive seasons. HOWEVER, it very much feels like Seattle's defense against the run (and defense in general) is suspect and taking away Geno's favorite weapons on third down could be a recipe for a Rams victory. Also, Nick's Picks chooses another handful of winners for this weekend after going 3-0 on Thanksgiving and 4-0 on the weekend.

RBTP148: Rams vs. Chiefs Game Recap, top players to watch develop, who could leave the core, #MondayPain28 Nov 202200:46:23

The Rams' recent struggles aren't a huge surprise to #rams fans, knowing how decimated they've been by injuries. But to lose 5-straight and fall to 3-8 after winning the Super Bowl is a massive fall from grace. We dug into how the Rams' core can stay intact, players we've been watching closely to see if they can cut it on next year's roster and featured 5 fans on the new weekly segment of #MondayPain. #podcast #nfl

RBTP147: Rams vs. Saints Game Recap, Keeping the core together, Stafford's concussion situation, #MondayPain & Nick's Thanksgiving picks!22 Nov 202201:09:40

Plenty to unpack after another loss against the Saints, as the Rams now drop to 3-7 on the season. With Matthew Stafford now dealing with multiple concussions in a three-week span, it seems the Rams' season is fading quickly. There's plenty to watch for, though: specifically looking for a large handful of players to show they belong on the roster for next year. We also discuss what the potential pitch would sound like to keep the core intact, we go through the contributions from the fans on #MondayPain, go through Nick's Pick's of the Week (for Thanksgiving), and preview the Chiefs match-up next weekend.

RBTP146: Rams vs. Saints Preview, Cooper Kupp's Replacement, Rams/Saints Freefalling Equally, Nick's Picks18 Nov 202200:48:41

The Rams travel to New Orleans this weekend to play the Saints -- in a game that both teams need to win desperately. The Saints seem like they're in complete disarray after their loss to Pittsburgh, but the Rams have lost 5 out of the last 6 games and are freefalling in a very similar fashion. The important questions are: who's going to replace Cooper Kupp, how will the offensive line hold up, and will people still be blaming the defense if the offense is incapable of moving the ball? Luckily (as we mentioned before) -- the Saints are dealing with ALL of the same problems. Who comes away with a win this weekend? We're both leaning towards the Rams.

RBTP145: Rams vs. Cardinals Full Game Recap, Cooper Kupp's injury, Why the Rams' massive SB hangover is continuing, #MondayPain15 Nov 202200:56:32

There's no question about it - the Rams are struggling mightily. In a game that didn't feature Matthew Stafford or Kyler Murray, the Rams managed to put 17-points on the board (7 of which were in garbage time) and lost their most important offensive weapon in Cooper due to an awful throw by John Wolford, and a questionable hit by Marco Wilson. In the 27-17 loss to Arizona, the Rams' offense (once again) looked like a shell of what it once was, and it's obvious that they need a massive overhaul going into next season in order to keep the window any sorts of open. There are too many pieces (moving in the wrong direction) for the Rams to fix their issues immediately -- it's going to require a deep evaluation from some of the best, and most proven guys in the business.

REMATCH: Lions Host Rams in SNF Opener. Lions Super Bowl Contenders? Rams Overlooked?04 Sep 202400:32:12
Rams and Lions are officially set to kick off on SNF, a heavy-weight rematch of two teams that have Super Bowl aspirations. The Lions feel as if the Super Bowl conversation is very appropriate considering how last year ended, while the Rams have tons of internal confidence that they're going to shock teams yet again. We preview the Lions offense, their "improved" defense, where the Rams will have advantages/disadvantages, our keys to victory and the debut of this season's "Nick's Picks". Enjoy!

RBTP144: Rams vs. Cardinals Full Game Preview, Stafford/Kyler Injuries, Rams' Offensive Re-Vamped, Cardinals' Struggling Defense & Nick's Picks!11 Nov 202200:54:08

The Cardinals (3-6) are traveling to SoFi Stadium to face the 3-5 Rams on Sunday. Many would argue that the whole season (for both teams) comes down to this game, and both may be without their starting QB's. The Cardinals are coming off a really tough back-to-back losses to the Vikings, and then the Seahawks this past weekend, and have lost 4 of their last 5 -- which means they're as desperate and as hungry as ever to beat up on the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. We dig into the injuries on both sides (and potential impact), why we wish McVay drafted and developed a QB over the past couple of years, how the Rams' offense could potentially simplify the gameplan and win by keeping the ball on the ground, the Cardinals' defense without Budda Baker -- and we jump around the league for Nick's Picks of the week (featuring a NEW theme song).

RBTP143: Rams vs. Buccaneers Full Game Recap, Offensive Struggles Continue, #MondayPain08 Nov 202200:50:39

The Rams' struggles continue as they drop another game on the road to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 16-13. Record is now 3-5, and we're all forced to ask ourselves as fans - what's next for this team? In this episode, we dig into the Rams' stale, inconsistent and frankly boring offense (which is now ranked dead last in the league) and the "bend don't break" defense that seems to be criticized more than it should be - based on how McVay's offense has been recently performing. How do you get out of this mess, and what changes between now and the matchup with Kliff Kingsbury's Cardinals next weekend? Also, a brand-new segment called #MondayPain with 5 great listeners.

RBTP142: Rams vs. Buccaneers Preview, Tom Brady's Digression, Cam Akers' Return04 Nov 202200:53:07

The Rams are currently 3-4 and are heading into Raymond James Stadium to face-off against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. The Bucs are coming off a 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and are currently 1-3 at home and Tom Brady is coming off his first 3-game losing streak in 20 years. Is this a good sign for a struggling Rams team, who was dead silent during the deadline? We think so. That, plus the latest on Cam Akers re-joining the team, additional moves around the league and Nick's Picks (with a new theme)...

RBTP141: Rams vs. 49ers Recap, highlights + key mistakes, roster turnover and #OverreactionMonday01 Nov 202200:55:51

The Rams fell short in their home stadium in what was their second chance this regular season to beat the 49ers. In a situation that we believed was plenty winnable (with the 49ers dealing with a handful of injuries) - the Rams squandered away a 14-10 lead and ended up allowing 21 unanswered points in the second half of this game. We discuss some of the key moments that could've swung momentum in our favor: Ramsey's forced fumble, Higbee's drop, etc., as well as how we underestimated the severity of our roster turnover and overestimated out ability to out-scheme our biggest rival. Additionally, we welcome a new segment called "Overreaction Monday" where fans commented in, we read their tweets and see if their reaction was justified.

RBTP140: Rams vs. 49ers Preview, Game Plan with Allen + Jefferson Back From Injury, 49ers' Vulnerabilities And Nick's Picks28 Oct 202200:52:21

The Rams are hosting the 49ers in SoFi Stadium this weekend, as they get ready to face off against their biggest rival for the second time in less than a month. There's no doubt that the Rams have come off their bye week much healthier, as the 49ers are currently struggling with injuries to some key players on both sides of the ball. We get into how the Rams could potentially set themselves up for victory in this game (hint, don't completely abandon the run early) and utilize the pieces that were missing in the first match-up against these two teams. Both teams enter the week with .500 records or below, but this is a game that will identify weaknesses for the Rams, and how they can go about handling the trade deadline on November 2nd. If they can figure out a way to win AND identify where they need help for the rest of the season, that's a big week for our squad. Oh, and Nick's Picks has his new (and best) theme song tee'd up for this episode.

RBTP139: Bye Week Special, News/latest odds on OBJ, Akers, McCaffrey, Burns (and more) + Nick's Picks of the Week21 Oct 202200:41:21

The Rams are on a bye week, but that didn't stop us from speculating trade scenarios around the league, and how they could potentially unfold to benefit the Rams. The latest odds/news on Odell Beckham Jr., Cam Akers, Melvin Gordon, Christian McCaffrey, Brian Burns, Robert Quinn, Bradley Chubb and any other potential trade scenarios that could happen before the trade deadline. The Rams may only be a few pieces away from putting the puzzle together again, so we spent some time speculating and staying optimistic prior to prepping for 49ers week. Additionally, Nick's picks has a new theme song, and helps you select your winners for the week. 

RBTP138: Rams vs. Panthers Recap, Getting healthy into the bye week, Potential adds to the roster18 Oct 202200:43:02

The Rams defeated the Carolina Panthers, 24-10 in SoFi Stadium to snap their two-game losing skid against San Francisco and Dallas. Going into the half losing 10-7, Rams fans were boo'ing the Rams as they jogged into the home tunnel. There was a lot of animosity, based on the fans' expectations of this team coming off a Super Bowl victory. But after the half, the Rams' offense adjusted and came out firing with a complimentary and evenly dispersed effort by Matthew Stafford & the Rams' receiving core. The defense allowed their lowest point total (3) since 2017. The pieces are starting to come together a bit while starters who were injured are getting an extra week to rest-up for 49ers week. Are the Rams a finished product at this point in the season? Not even close.

RBTP137: Rams vs. Panthers Preview, Hekker & Corbett's reunion, how to get back to 3-313 Oct 202200:51:34

The Rams are currently 2-3, with the Panthers looming on Sunday. We preview the 1-4 Carolina Panthers, who've just lost their head coach and (seemingly) their starting quarterback in Baker Mayfield. Long behold, their interim head coach (Steve Wilks) has been around quite some time, and there's plenty of reasons to get behind P.J. Walker, who we've seen play well in this league before. If the Rams can attack the left side of the offensive line and keep Walker uncomfortable, they may find themselves back in the win column. It's difficult to sustain a legitimate pass rush when each of the two quarterbacks you've faced get rid of the football in 2.5 seconds, but this one's a bit different.

RBTP136: Rams vs. Cowboys Recap, Offensive struggles continue, what to expect next from McVay & Snead11 Oct 202200:51:14

The Rams have dropped their second straight game -- this time to the Dallas Cowboys, who seemingly had something to prove defensively all game. They knew there was a major weakness upfront (due to a boatload of injuries), and they immediately took advantage. Outside of additional offensive line help, it's fair to start questioning some of the play calls, player usage and schemes, considering how badly bruised this team is upfront. Their offense was forced to change, but at times -- it still tries to revert back to what it once was last year. There's a major identity crisis going on, and it's one that we believe McVay and Snead are willing to solve (with a little help from their "friends").

RBTP135: Rams vs. Cowboys Preview, slowing down the Cowboys' defense, offensive scheme adjustments07 Oct 202200:59:59

Full Cowboys game preview is live, starting with the Cowboys' offense (lead by Cooper Rush). If the Rams are able to implement the same type of defensive gameplan the 49ers used against us (allowing Kupp to get his and limiting others), does the offense have enough to win this game and get back to a winning record? Cowboys fans are calling their defense this year: "the best they've ever seen", and with the amount of star-power and speed they have, it may cause issues for the Rams' offense. Creative ways to get the offense jumpstarted is necessary (with limited personnel upfront), but suggestions are to be had in this episode. Nick's Picks also lists off his three weekly winners and his lock of the week to try and win us all some cash.

RBTP134: Full Rams @ 49ers Recap, the Missing Pieces, Injuries Upfront & more05 Oct 202200:56:10

The banged-up Rams didn't fare well against the 49ers in their home stadium for the long-awaited NFC Championship rematch, as they were defeated 24-9. With three legitimate opportunities to score in the redzone, the offense wasn't sharp enough to convert and made a crucial mistake down the stretch on telegraphed screen to Cooper Kupp. The defense did what they could, considering defense back depth was hurt and Jimmy G was getting rid of the ball in 2.23 seconds (on average). Aaron Donald finished with 5 tackles and 2 for a loss, but they weren't able to generate any sacks or turnovers in crucial moments. We'll see them again in 4 weeks!

RBTP133: Rams @ 49ers Preview, Robinson & Wagner's Potential Break-outs, Nick's Picks30 Sep 202200:56:31

The NFC Championship rematch is finally here. The Rams' biggest rival, the 49ers, are hosting them on Monday Night Football - in a game where there are no true implications except ownership over the NFC West, and pride. We take you back to the three match-ups against the 49ers last year, what went wrong in the first two and how the Rams went onto hoist the Lombardi in Los Angeles. Additionally, we'll dig into who the 49ers are throughout the first 3 games of this season, who the Rams have become so far and why we believe this game could resemble a combination of what we saw in last years match-ups. Nick's Picks will also introduce a new theme song and take you through a handful of winners this week, after coming out of last week winning 4 of 5 bets.

RBTP132: Rams @ Cardinals Recap, McVay's Offensive Evolution, The Bend Don't Break Scheme27 Sep 202200:49:42

The Rams took care of business against the Arizona Cardinals and improved to 2-1 on the season (and have won 10 of the last 11 match-ups against Kliff Kingsbury and the Cardinals). McVay's offense continues to evolve and add new layers - specifically in the run game, where we saw players like Cooper Kupp and Ben Skowronek lead the way as blockers, pass catchers and threats to beat you on the ground. Cooper Kupp comes away with his first-career rushing touchdown, and Aaron Donald comes away with his 100th sack. Additionally, we'll dig into the "bend don't break" methodology that Raheem Morris has instilled, and why it worked to perfection against Kyler & Kliff.
