The Rams signed tight end Nick Muse to the practice squad on Tuesday, giving Sean McVay yet another option at the position moving forward. Muse may only be on the practice squad right now but his addition to the roster in any capacity is interesting given that L.A. already has four notable tight ends on […]

Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams wasn’t completely unexpected for the San Francisco 49ers, but man, was it deflating at times, given the lack of resistance from the defense. The 49ers’ defense actually generated one more pressure than the 15 against the Giants, but the back seven had a tough time holding up in […]

Throughout the Sean McVay era with the Los Angeles Rams, there have been several iterations of the offense. McVay took the league by storm in 2017 and 2018 with the usage of outside zone and play action passing off of that. When the NFL caught up, McVay developed a spread offense that lacked a running […]

Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks blew out the Washington Commanders and acquired wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed, the national media was overall optimistic, with a few sites viewing the Seahawks as true Super Bowl Contenders. Now, with a blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals, will more national media outlets view Seattle a legitimate threats to […]

Going into the year, and maybe I am making this up, but I recall people saying (probably myself included) that the Los Angeles Rams had Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson and rookie Terrance Ferguson, do they really need all those tight ends? Curious, who still think the Rams have too many tight ends? I […]

So much for that being a trap game. After I spent the whole week telling anyone that would listen how nervous I was about playing a feisty team with a backup quarterback at home (PTSD, anyone?), the Seattle Seahawks brought down the hammer, again. With eight and a half minutes left in the second quarter, […]

Sunday was a rough day for the San Francisco 49ers’ defense against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. Stafford became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw four touchdowns and zero interceptions in three straight games, and the Rams routinely picked on different players from their new 13 personnel wrinkle. The 49ers’ defense […]

Week 10 brought revenge served cold. The Los Angeles Rams got back at the San Francisco 49ers for stunning them at home. LA took a commanding lead early and never looked back.

Have a fun, entertaining game where you win, and follow that up with a loss. That’s been the cycle for the San Francisco 49ers since late September. A myriad of injuries on both sides of the ball have led to Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh being over-reliant on players who have no business playing meaningful […]

The argument for paying Tutu Atwell a guaranteed $10 million salary has taken its hardest hit yet and it’s not because of what the Rams are doing with him, but what they’re doing without him. Since Atwell tweaked his hamstring in Week 7 practice, the Rams have improved from ranking 16th in scoring at 23.3 […]

In the wake of a defeat in which the Los Angeles Rams did basically whatever they wanted when they had the ball, the search for reasons to be cheerful for the 49ers might seem as futile as San Francisco’s comeback efforts ultimately proved to be.
