Rams Brothers: The Pod, An LA Rams Podcast

Your suggestions were heard via Twitter, and we listened (for the most part). As a result, a Rams Brothers Big Board was born -- the first ever of its kind, and it's packed with insight. Once the two of us really started putting our heads together and started taking into consideration how many defensive players the Rams have recently lost, coupled with players they've already had a chance to meet...

The Rams' front office has been very forthcoming of the Rams' recent transactions. Les Snead addressed the Rams' media team 3 weeks ago to lay out the blueprint for 2023-2025, and Kevin Demoff followed up over the weekend with a letter to all Rams fans, addressing the recent departures, the organizations mentality over the past 6+ years, and their willingness to fight for long-term, sustainable su...

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 fo...

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...

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...

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...

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 lea...

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...

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 Ange...

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 age...

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'...

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 s...

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...

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, coachi...

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. Hosted by S...

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 co...

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 beco...

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 w...

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 Lanc...

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...

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 Coo...

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...

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...

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 legitim...

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 o...
