Rams Brothers: The Pod, An LA Rams Podcast

The Rams (7-3) are heading into Green Bay for what feels like a playoff game against the 8-3 Packers. The biggest storylines over the past couple of weeks have been opponents injuries, and the Rams' true identity heading into the back-half of the season. While the injuries the Packers are dealing with are certainly crucial, it's up to Sean McVay and the Rams' offense to come out more prepared than...

The Rams have fallen to 7-3 following an awful loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. The Rams Brothers (alongside Taran Killam) had the intention to celebrate the fact that this is the 100th episode of the show's history, but the Rams themselves have lost 5-straight to the 49ers (bringing them to 1-2 in the division on the year) and have a massive identity crisis at hand. While they've...

The new-look Rams are heading to Levi's Stadium on Monday night to take on the 3-5 San Francisco 49ers. While the 49ers have swept the Rams over the past two years, we're dealing with two completely different rosters, and an injury situation that Kyle Shanahan & co. can't seem to overcome. With the addition of Von Miller (who we'll potentially see on Monday) and Odell Beckham Jr., the Rams' roster...

The Rams welcomed the (now) 7-2 Tennessee Titans to SoFi Stadium for Sunday Night Football. While everything was staged for the perfect night: Isaac Bruce receiving his HOF ring in front of sixty thousand fans, Matthew Stafford having the opportunity to separate in the MVP conversation with a big night in prime time, and Nick being interviewed by Jake Reiner of CBS LA prior to the game starting -...

The Rams are welcoming the 6-2 Tennessee Titans to SoFi Stadium for Sunday Night Football. The Titans currently own the #1 seed in the AFC, is second in the AFC in points scored (only trailing the Buffalo Bills by 2), and are coming off of an incredibly emotional, in-division, overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts to increase their win streak to 4. Dene, Nick & Ryan dig into the implication...

The Rams took on the now 1-7 Houston Texans over the weekend, but the main storyline of this episode is very much focused on the Rams' recent acquisition of Von Miller. Dene and Nick dig into the defense prior to the move, how much Miller will help to take attention off of Donald and Floyd, creating game-long (and season-long) mismatches with top contenders, and how different Raheem Morris' defens...

The Rams are traveling to Houston this weekend to face off against the Texans. The Texans are 1-6 currently, and are in "sell" mode before the deadline. They've recently traded Mark Ingram, and Brandin Cooks recently tweeted about how upset he is with his current situation. Dene, Nick and special guest Rich compare the current Houston Texans situation to the Rams of old, the Rams' current special...

The Rams hosted the Lions this past weekend at SoFi, and it was packed with all of the incredible storylines that we mentioned in our previous episode. The Lions were able to get off to a very fast start, but the Rams' offense (led by Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp) proved to be far too much for the Lions to handle in the end. Additionally, we discussed the news on Goff's foot injury prior to th...

The Rams are hosting an 0-6 Detroit Lions team, but this isn't just any old 0-6 Detroit Lions team. For starters, it's a coming home party for four previous members of the Los Angeles Rams who left in the offseason: Jared Goff, Michael Brockers, Aubrey Pleasant, and Brad Holmes. It's also the first time that QB's Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff will be facing off against their former teams. There...

The Rams went into MetLife Stadium and dismantled the New York Giants, who've now fallen to 1-5 on the season. We discussed in our latest episode how the Giants had been bitten by the injury bug, as it continued to be the narrative throughout this game. WR Kadarius Toney limited off the field during the Giants' first offensive possession, and from there on out -- it was all Los Angeles Rams. Dene...

The Rams head into MetLife Stadium to face the 1-4 Giants. The Giants were bit by the injury bug against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend, and now have to face the Rams without Saquon Barkley and Kenny Golladay. The Giants have found ways to lose games this year, and after their performance last year at SoFi, we were led to believe they were on the path to taking the next step. Dene and Nick dig in...

The Rams were coming off of a tough loss to Arizona, and had to travel to Seattle to get back on track. They went into Seattle, were able to contain their offense, knocked Russell Wilson out of the game, and did enough offensively to come away with the win. Dene & Nick spend time trying to understand what happened with the offense through their first 4 series in this game, replayed Stafford's inte...

The Rams hosted a very talented Cardinals team over the weekend, and completely got knocked off their spot after an impressive win vs. Tampa Bay. The Cardinals offense was overwhelming for the Rams' defense to say the least, so Dene & Nick dug into why the Rams had such an issue containing Kyler when they've shown the ability to do so in the past. Also included is Raheem Morris' comments on David...

The Rams play host to current MVP-favorite Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, and are looking to increase their undefeated record since 2017 to 9-0. Dene and Nick dive into the 3-game sample size that Arizona has put out, including their deficiencies on the interior defensive line, injuries to three starting offensive lineman, and the addition of Quinton Dunbar. Jalen Rams...
