Rams Brothers: The Pod, An LA Rams Podcast

In a weekend that united the whole Rams Brothers team, the Rams fell to the Eagles, 23-14 at home. While the Rams' fans were representing, there were tons of Eagles fans to balance out the energy in the stadium -- and in most scenarios, it favored the away team. Traveling fan bases are hard to prevent but becoming one dimensional in the second half and being afraid to run the ball when you fall be...

The Rams are finally back home after a 2-week stretch of AFC road games. When they enter SoFi Stadium on Sunday, they'll be met with the reigning NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, led by Jalen Hurts. The Eagles' offense may not be quite where it was last year, but their defense front is much improved and are ready to put pressure on Matthew Stafford, his injured hip, and the remainder of the Rams'...

The Rams walked into Indy with a purpose: avoiding a 1-3 record and getting back on track. They seemingly did that with ease throughout the entire first half, but the second half was a completely different story. The combination of Anthony Richardson and Shane Steichen's new offense was overwhelming for the Rams late in this game, but a few missed FG's may have led Sean McVay to be more aggressive...

The Rams are faced with another difficult task: a second-straight road game against an AFC opponent that is playing really good football. Under new head coach Shane Steichen, this Colts team is nearly unrecognizable. Anthony Richardson should be healthy enough to start, and their offense is full of well-designed plays and really good situational play-calling. Their defense is playing way above wha...

The Rams lost on MNF to the 0-2 Bengals mainly because of self-inflicted wounds. They were 1-11 on 3rd down, 0-3 in the Red Zone, and became more and more one-dimensional as the game progressed. Sean McVay seemingly called a game that went against the Rams' core offseason principle: which was keeping his QB1 upright, and protected throughout the entirety of the season. The offensive line was bange...

Finally, the Super Bowl 56 rematch we've all been waiting for. I think if it were up to Joe Burrow, he would have this game pushed back on the schedule after re-aggravating his calf against the Baltimore Ravens late in the fourth quarter of a 27-24 loss. In parallels of Joe Burrow's calf, the new-look Rams are poised (as 2pt underdogs currently) to go into Cincinnati and come home with a win. A co...

The Rams have now lost 9 straight regular season games to the 49ers. But this one was different, as we mentioned on the preview episode. We believed that to be true because of the Rams' much improved offensive line, the unbelievable introduction Puka Nacua has made to the league, and the young, talented defensive players we have that are currently starved to stay on the field. We left this game th...

The Rams' record against the 49ers over the last 4+ seasons doesn't tell the full story. This season, a brand-new opportunity awaits for the Rams to put their handful of regular season losses to the 49ers behind them. It's the very first time we're getting to see Brock Purdy stand back in the pocket with Aaron Donald creeping down on him, with a healthy Matthew Stafford and fully rejuvenated offen...

The Rams seemed like they were on a legitimate mission at Lumen Field yesterday. They made the opening game vs. Seattle personal, and used all of the outside noise as motivation to prove the talking heads (and remainder of the league) wrong. Their defense absolutely dismantled Seattle in the second half, and their offense throughout the whole game progressively got more efficient. We were also abl...

We've finally made it, Rams fans. The long-awaited regular season is here. To kick us off, we're facing a familiar opponent: but without one of our weight bearing walls in Cooper Kupp. How are the Rams (offensively) going to replace Kupp's production, and how can they find a way to exploit Seattle's weaknesses upfront? Also, Nick's Picks of the week are BACK, so we worked our way around the league...

The Rams' second preseason game against the Raiders is in the books, and there are some key takeaways on both sides of the ball that we made sure to note within this episode. We've been identifying the players who could be contributors to the 2023 regular season, and a handful of them are starting to shine in recent joint practices/preseason games. Specifically, guys like Steve Avila, Quentin Lake...

The Rams' first preseason game against the Chargers is a wrap. In this quick hitter episode, we wanted to make sure to focus-in on the three areas that we felt were most notable (for a multitude of reasons): and to us, that was the defensive line (in its entirety), a handful of offensive lineman, and the special teams unit. If all three of these elements aren't working in your favor, any game is l...

The 2023 Rams' training camp in Irvine, CA is officially a wrap, and it featured just a few minor injuries to some of our key players (nothing major, thankfully) and a fully rejuvenated Sean McVay. The combination of the two, plus a healthy dose of "freshness" when it comes to who's in the building and some of the methodologies they're trying to install from the top-down has us feeling optimistic...

The Rams have officially kicked off their 2023 training camp, and there's never a shortage of story lines as we're anticipating yet another fun year of Rams football. Specifically this year: it's focused on the new faces, and specifically, how those new faces are going to cause disruption (in a positive way) and influence the position battles that are currently going on. The WR position (for the t...

Does it feel like there's an overwhelming amount of GREAT football offseason content to consume? Well, that's because there is -- between the Playcallers (Jourdan Rodrigue's masterpiece), Netflix's "Quarterback" and Behind the Grind, we were inspired to take a deep dive on Sean McVay, and what has made him (and the Rams) so special over the last handful of years. Going back to 2017, we chose just...

The Rams are in a little bit of a down period right now for roughly the next three weeks as they start preparing internally for training camp. While we wait, we figured it was a good opportunity to address any of the latest uniform rumors, discuss the training camp schedule + what we're watching for (joint practices will be mixed in but haven't been announced yet), the latest from "Behind the Grin...

The Rams have so many difficult decisions coming up, as it pertains to the 53-man roster that has to be finalized by August 29th. While there's plenty of time, between mini-camp (happening this week), additional practice/joint sessions + pre-season, it's never too early to start determining who's not going to make the cut. Based on their previous roster decisions from years prior and the position...

The Rams have been working through their new plan and getting to know plenty of new faces over the past 2-3 weeks with OTA's beginning on the 22nd of May. It's interesting to hear their approach, how challenging it is to onboard a multitude of players, and the updates we're getting from OTA's (which are always overwhelmingly positive). From there, we wanted to look past the month of June/July and...

The Rams' 2023 season feels like a gamble in its own. They're going to roster a boat load of rookies/undrafted free agents and expect their players who've been in the system for 2-3 years to step up significantly. Vegas only has the Rams listed as favorites in 5 of their 17 games regular season games, and two of them are against the Cardinals. But what about the following: Rams to make the Playoff...

The Rams' 2023 schedule was released yesterday, and it's considered to be somewhat difficult after the Rams finished in 3rd place in the NFC West last season. 4 of their first 5 matchups are against playoff teams and are only slated to play in two prime time games, which is the same amount as: Carolina, Tampa, Cleveland and Tennessee. We took the time to go through each opponent, inclusive of thei...

The Rams' 2023 draft class will certainly be one to remember -- even if it's just for the fact that they made a total of 11 picks on Day 3. With a total of 14 picks after trading back four times and trading up once, the Rams came away with some really good value in later rounds, and definitely opted towards finding foundational players/building the roster inside to outside vs. risking top picks on...

Our 3rd and final mock draft is LIVE with only 2 days left before the #nfldraft ! We came away with 13 total players after trading back with the Carolina Panthers to get into the 4th round and stockpile more later round picks, featuring big names like: Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Tank Dell and Payne Durham. With this being the final mock, we tried to compile a mix of players that would check off BOTH bo...

Allen Robinson was traded earlier this week and the Rams will take on a majority of his salary for next year and only a 7th-round pick swap in return. It's considered to be a really bad free agent signing (OTC calls it one of the worst) and then, a day later, we find out Jalen Ramsey would've re-structured his deal with the Rams (per a deleted tweet of his). Additionally, with the 2023 NFL Draft o...

Our very first mock draft(s) are live within this episode, featuring what we know about who the Rams have already met with (either virtually or in-person) and how the Rams should go about prioritizing as they're working their way through the draft board. We also put together some hypothetical trades that we could see before/during the draft which could bridge the Rams' rather large draft gap in be...

The Rams are in a solid position when it comes to setting themselves up for 2024. But where does that leave them in 2023? Well, for starters, they need to really execute on the upcoming draft. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being overly prepared, flooding your big board with talent and drafting players that can help mold the state of your franchise for the next 4+ years. Additionally, as t...
