Happy Labor Day and forgive me for having this Random Ramsdom out a little later than usual! My hope is you are enjoying a great weekend as we gear up for the official start of the NFL season. It feels like only a month ago that the Los Angeles Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs, but here we are, and the NFL season is firing up again, giving each a team the chance to win the Super Bowl. Exciting times.
We’ll start the season off Thursday, with a Friday game to follow, then Week 1
will really light up Sunday before we close it out with some Monday Night Football.
It’s a quote so old it’s new, are you ready for some football? I think we most certainly are.
Please comment on whatever you want, and thank you for checking out Turf Show Times!
Rams connected to blockbuster trade that might solve quietest problem (ramblinfan)
“This defense allowed just 114 net passing yards on average over two playoff games last season, and that wasn’t solely due to a ferocious pass rush. The unit finally gelled, with consistent performances from Ahkello Witherspoon, Darious Williams, and Cobie Durant at cornerback, and a deep safety group that included Kamren Curl, Quentin Lake, Jaylen McCollough, and Kamren Kinchens. Add former Round 1 pick Emmanuel Forbes Jr. entering his third season, and there’s plenty of reason for optimism.“
Predicting the Rams’ Success This Season (si.com)
“Predicted to be one of the most competitive divisions this season, the NFC West was one of just two (joining the NFC North) in which all four teams received at least one first-place vote. Although our analysts ultimately sided with the Rams over the Niners, San Francisco appeared on 17 of 29 ballots, which ranks sixth-most among NFC teams,” the Around the NFL Staff said.
“Look out for whichever team emerges from the West, though, as the division is currently tied (with the AFC West) for the longest active streak of consecutive seasons with at least one team winning a playoff game (7).”
