Apologies for the late links on this Thursday. What’s going on with the Los Angeles Rams in the last 24 hours? As with all the other NFL teams ... NOT MUCH!
Cameron DaSilva at The Rams Wire pointed out that PFF ranked the Rams as having the seventh-best roster in the league right now.
Linsey notes the Rams’ best strength as being Aaron Donald, “the best player in the NFL, regardless of position.” That’s obvious, and Donald’s presence allows the Rams defense to succeed the way it did last season. Without him, the defense wouldn’t be the same.
Linsey’s choice for the team’s biggest weakness is no surprise: inside linebacker. He expects it to be “one of the weaker groups across the league,” with no clear-cut starter at the position. Micah Kiser, Troy Reeder, Kenny Young, Travin Howard and Ernest Jones will all compete for snaps, but there’s no surefire starter among them.
Do you agree?

The Steelers are signing kicker Sam Sloman, a seventh round pick by the Rams in 2020. Sloman started the season with LA, was cut midseason, ended up with the Titans, and is now attempting to continue his career in Pittsburgh. Remember Kai Forbath?!
How excited are you to have Matt Gay right now?

And finally, Andrew Whitworth said that Nick Bosa is “a special rusher” and noted that while Joey Bosa is “an artist,” that few players he’s ever faced have ever had the strength and power of the younger Bosa.
Do you think that Nick Bosa is the best player in the NFC West who is under 25?
