Rams 53-Man Roster Revealed, Ernest Jones Replacement, Kyren Williams to Return Punts, Takeaways!

[@KevinsdadNorb]

We did the same thing in 2018 with Alec Ogleetree-replaced him with an unknown with no NFL experience, Cory Littleton. Went to the Super Bowl that year.

[@briannickel6813]

We don't use our ILB like other teams....It was obvious the trade was going to happen. The ones who are surprised honestly haven't been paying attention to the Rams...

[@jimbates3557]

Relaxxxxx, you guys are adding unneeded stress for Rams fans. Going to be an exciting season fo sho. If Williams busts a TD on a punt we're all gonna say "great idea" I need positivity from you guys. I enjoy your analysis and insights, please keep it going

[@parisbeech2180]

😂😂😂 what stress

[@BrianBeadle-qc2zb]

I would much rather see him running for touchdowns on offense where he belongs!!!

[@briannickel6813]

The dudes a cinic, always has been, it's off putting.

[@lithuaniangiant2676]

I am ready for the Rams' new defense, Don Shula really started to shine as the DC of the Colts I think. I hope his Grandson follows the same pathway.

[@Woodlandsmoothdawg]

I’ve been a Los Angeles Rams fan for 50 big ones. The first game I went to I was in diapers. I agree with the disagreement with the talking heads. But I also get that they are concerned about Williams being injured. We obviously will have to wait and see.

[@augustuslinke]

My first game I went to was the Titans vs Rams in 1999 while my mom was pregnant with me still. Good to see another lifelong fan.

[@EricRichardson_5]

While Travis is hard on my guy Tutu.. I do enjoy that he doesn’t look at everything with Rose tinted glasses. Sometimes u have to look at the worst case scenario.

[@LAchamps]

Speights reminds me of Bobby Wagner. Just sayin.

[@renamedplaya8351]

Tutu is a good backup that knows the offense if there's injuries. Maybe Kyren makes more money if he returns punts? That's the only thing i can think of.

[@kareemosborne2421]

I'm so happy you guys feel the way I've been feeling I'm just so confused about this whole thing why put Kyren back there????? Hell out Tutu back there

[@parisbeech2180]

Another great episode of locked on great job Dmac and Travis also ignore these rams fanboys getting triggered over nothing 😂

[@juanscott7130]

Monday morning quarter backing here we go I know more then you do. So full of sht

[@parisbeech2180]

@@juanscott7130 🤣😂 bro I don’t give a crap about what you have to say stay triggered 🤡

[@Dare-rq4zj]

Geez dudes take a breath. Cody Schrader will be the returner. He did it for the Niners.

[@cy4330]

You guys were wrong about the Rams last season too enough said

[@dalethums8418]

NOT A LOSS FOR TENNESSEE

[@jonostuard4641]

Damn, all this pre-season news: injuries, questionable trades, weird decisions, etc. Can't wait till opening day. Come out with a win, and all of this will be forgotten. McVay may be a great coach, but has a lot of questionable calls in the red zone. Would love to see the rams improve when things get tight.

[@Yungbrose]

Questionable calls? Or things not going the way he wants? Do to Refs & the players playing? Can't wait for the Sunday either!

[@jesusbarranco8301]

wtf losing ernest for those picks he’ll no we got ripped off im pissed ernest was dependable as a player :(

[@serrttt]

No mention of two new Rams additions Cody Schrader, RB, Missouri- Neville Gallimore is 6-2 315-- good size compared to the smallish Rams DL

[@BrianBeadle-qc2zb]

Some serious head scratchers way too close to Detroit!!!

[@Ramsman34]

Keep in mind. All the “news”. Is as of right now. Other moves will be made. There will be reassignments in the roster as they prepare for week 1. That includes returners. I have no problem with K will returning punts. He can be dangerous there. I think Atwell will be one of KR.

[@ramgray50]

Seriously, do you think that X smith is better than Tutu? Y’all tweekin!

[@garymoore3384]

We just signed Neville Galimore so at least our D Line got better today. Maybe a very physical solid D Line might make the job a lil easier for the linebacker like Rozeboom and Speights. Just sayin

[@KevinsdadNorb]

Here is what it means - Blake Corum is killing it in training camp.

[@juanscott7130]

Untrue. Hasn't played a down Untrue Untrue Untrue Untrue. I don't belive Kylie Williams will be returning anything

[@Ramsman34]

Atwell knows the entire O and ALL WR positions. Smith doesn’t. I still had X making the 53. Can’t keep em all.

[@Mark-bi4pp]

I predict a tutu trade. Maybe mcvay won't admit he was a 2nd round mistake???

[@AshlynnSmells]

They have let other high picks go without problem

[@travesotom6890]

Negative Rodgers is back with his negativity 😂

[@jorgealicea2088]

We are Jim Everett days away.

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

Dont you mean "Chris Everett"? Lol

[@MidwestMozart]

Folks understating the importance of Earnest is crazy. We did the same thing to London Fletcher. Earnest was important to our TEAM (productivity & leadership). We’ve lost a lot..

[@ricddewbe54]

London Fletcher? LMAO. Jones could not carry his jock strap. He won a SB in 2000 and went to another in 2002 against New England. Without a hall of famer like AD to run interference. After that the Rams were breaking it up in many ways. Georgia Frontiere then went on to run the organization into the ground as she always did until Kronke became a minority owner. Until she passed in 2008. Absolutely nothing to compare Jones with Fletcher.

[@mikejackson4246]

Blake corrum is gonna be rb1

[@Mark-bi4pp]

I will say 5 1 5 defenses are become more common

[@floydsaine8420]

C'mon Travis, remember " In MCvay you trust" so trust that he knows what he's doing

[@IAmAbundunt]

Lol 😂

[@davedailey1623]

They should have kept Smith.Hope he's on the practice squad

[@icaps93]

He is...they signed him yesterday

[@marvinmagruder1067]

Rams signed a very good running back. Cody, wish him good luck. Run 250 yards again the 49ers. I'm rooting for you Cody. I only live 15 miles from Truman University. There is a building with my name on it there. Give em all you got.

[@ziggy4thefacts441]

Really surprised that Atwell and Johnson n not Smith

[@michaelgeraghty3989]

Young is 24, small cap hit, good player, good guy. You don’t trade a guy like that for chump change. This is a more bonehead decision than Williams returning punts. There won’t be some future logic to be revealed.

[@LARamsEmpire]

Does anyone remember a few months back when Travis Rogers was talking about how Ernest Jones is a good player but not great enough to get the bag? The Rams do what he thought was right and now he flips it to the other side saying that Ernest Jones is extremely valuable to the team. lol the hypocrisy

[@excession30]

He has zero credibility.

[@StevenAhner]

That's the best comment you ever made what the hell is 22 at well doing on this team they celebrated in last year hopefully don't do it this year

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Rams are not going to show there cards until the season starts. They're playing bluff right now. We'll be alright.

[@larryglasper7605]

Hey Travis Tutu is still on the team and ERNEST JONES is NOT.( Don't have a heart attack )

[@woodie1096]

Lmao, you guys keep saying in McVay we trust. But then question his every move.

[@bobbymendel6603]

🤣👍👍

[@statone2647]

Trust the plan.

[@toddnumata-p4v]

Ram fans just remember these 2 they think macvay doesn’t know what he is doing . By letting jones go . These are the two guys that thought the rams were going to suck last year . I really believe tutu is the punt returner and Williams will just sit don’t even touch the ball on kick off or punts . Mcvay is pranking everyone also Travis said William isn’t that good he has to prove it to him like he is the coach . I stop listening to this pod

[@Mark-xm5eo]

Guy with the glasses love your cold steel logic will you be our President for 4 yrs plese

[@coolcatrick3454]

I trust McSnead to do what's best for our football team. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Especially what happened with Ernest Jones. He and McSnead coulda got involved in a shouting match. Words mighta been said that made a trade of Ernest necessary. It is a shock, but we just gotta move forward. HORNS UP!!!

[@icaps93]

Lmfao Travis cant go an episode without trashing Tutu

[@coolcatrick3454]

He actually DEFENDED TuTu. He said if McVay is not gonna use TuTu as a punt/kickoff returner, then what is he doing on the football team???? What is his role??? Great question!!!

[@derrickgibson5882]

Kyren probably the best on the roster back there I see a lot of fair catches

[@angeloosborne9806]

This is total team leadership meltdown. The Rams have a hissy fit for whatever reason . Trade someone, they really didn’t have to, who was without a doubt the heart of the defense. Top ten player in the league. What this is is total betrayal and stupidity. Good luck for 2024.

[@dr.pakadoc717]

McVay was quite defensive at the media interview.

[@Laotzu819]

If you’re just going to criticize the Rams decisions all the time I will stop watching. There is a reason McVAY is a Super Bowl winning coach and you 2 are talking heads. We will win 12 games this years. And the NFC West.

[@raulalcala5839]

Exactly, horrible show! One less viewer.

[@darengleason3964]

Idk why they do that for..it's like this is a 49ers fan show..n they never listen to the viewers..I stopped watching last year during preseason

[@parisbeech2180]

​@@raulalcala5839😂😂😂 and yet your here on the chat 😂😂😂🤦

[@parisbeech2180]

😂😂😂 can you predict the future oh wait you can't rams have a 50% chance of winning 12 games hell winning NFC west too😂😂😂😂

[@Yungbrose]

So complaining without any knowledge of what your talking about is helpful? We watch this bc its supposed to be a ram's channel. Not fear mongering ​@@parisbeech2180

[@juanscott7130]

Travis Roger's jr softie Zipp it

[@ckSport3000]

You guys aren't in the trenches like MCVEY or his coaches. "Maybe" just maybe they saw a decline.. or hidden injuries.. you guys need to re-listen to his last conference. He likes his guys so much he was emphatic that he's NOT looking to add anyone at LB. RELAX..

[@parisbeech2180]

😂😂😂 bro just stop

[@greglp776]

Question: who knows more: Rams staff or Rams fans.....?

[@dr.pakadoc717]

They are not beyond criticism. Jeff Fischer was criticized and rightfully so. Doesn't mean fans are always right, coaches are sometimes wrong.

[@ramgray50]

Don’t forget, this was pre season. The Rams don’t play starters, or second stringers in pre season games. Most of those guys are (sorry to the parents and family)practice dummies. If you understand football and the Rams, you can see that the offense only runs vanilla plays. Handoff right/left. Etc. Rams are just trying to get to the regular season. Every now and then, someone shows out and makes the team. Stop putting these guys in the hall of fame!

[@nfcwestbest9974]

Can we just let McSnead cook everything they have done with most players they have drafted people said who and why are they doing that? We are the only team that has taken UDFAS and made them starts that produce at high levels! If yall remember Joyner, Barron, Littleton, they even questioned the AD pick and said Snead was stupid. They are keeping so many good safeties and will put them in that LB spot as well. We don’t pay LBS or Safeties until this year. Just watch

[@Broskee2]

TRAVIS HAS TO GO

[@juanscott7130]

Yes Mr softee Travis Roger's get rid of him

[@augustuslinke]

The Brandon Aiyuk situation is exactly why the Rams organization doesn’t deal with drama. I’ll continue to enjoy the pissing match between BA & the Niners. Hopefully they don’t trade him and he sits out, both sides lose.

[@coolcatrick3454]

He re-signed, sadly. He is a big part of the SF offense. If he woulda been traded to the Steelers, or whoever, then our chances vs. Shanahan's team woulda been better. Instead, they re-signed him. Bad news for us, but we have a lot of good players on our team that might help McVay win some games vs. SF. The head to head matchup is a bit lopsided, and has been since both McVay and Shanahan started their friendly rivalry. Both of them are good friends since both were assistant coaches for Washington, but of course, the Rams and niners are not friends!! They are our NFC West arch-rivals!

[@justhewaves]

IF you would've told me that Stetson Bennett would be on the team for Week One and EJ wouldn't, I would have laughed at you. 😂 I get the trade. I do. But it's a terrible look this late in the offseason game and the Kyren return decision makes zero sense, even with Corum performing well.

[@markplaton84]

Because Blake is the new man :)

[@Yungbrose]

Nope. Kyren started the first three games as a returner... had the most success at it & still got 15-20 touches... Go LA Rams!🎉

[@michaelcolunga4061]

How hasn’t taken a snap and k has proven he can take over or seal a win. You can argue ra let some games go because they don’t run the ball enough or have a more balanced attack

[@JayNichols-h7i]

I was really annoyed when I saw that Tyler Johnson made the team over Xavier Smith, that was a big head scratcher to me.

[@Rebble057]

Any onside kicks allowed

[@dfrumthac1]

Yes! However, you have to report to the officials, and if I'm not incorrect; the opposition!

[@kellmerWF52]

How can you get rid of Earnest and keep Hoeight at OLB ??????

[@lawrencehockett8179]

Kyren is a football player. He makes more money than the rest of combined playing a game and he is also an entertainer. Football players entertain us who enjoy football. He gets paid to entertain. So go out and entertain us please.

[@darengleason3964]

😂😂good on tu tu tho

[@ricddewbe54]

I think they try to play "Good show host", "Bad Show Host" but it actually turns out "Good show host", "Obnoxious Show Host. 😂

[@ph1785]

These guys need to relax, did they watch the practices and scrimmages with other teams ? The coaches know what they're doing, they live and breathe football 24/7 . Mc Vay trusts the linebacker core , if they weren't good, they would have been cut from the team team .

[@ubub932]

no ones perfect but, McVay, Snead, and the Rams organization are far more often correct than not so, they'll keep the benefit of the doint until they lose ot, as far as i am concerned . . . 🐏🏠💙💛🤍🏆‼️👀 🐏🏈💙💛🤍‼️🏆👀

[@dalethums8418]

I am with Doug..Rams should have kept Jones till end of the season and let him hit free agency...we got NOTHING in return...terrible 😮

[@JeoCentric]

Cannot stand Travis, spews nonsense every episode, don’t even need a pedigree to have better takes than this guy.

[@ScottStanley-c4s]

Relax Guys, we are in good shape

[@randyrobertson3440]

If all the rams we're gonna get was a fifth round pick in 26. We should have just kept him. Let him play out his contract contact. He? Wanted. 2? B. Here? He? Said. So? So. Why? Kick. Him? 2. The? Curb fifth round pick in 26. It's just dumb remind me of Georgia fontier running the team. Into the ground.😮

[@jamesmitchell6483]

Agree Travis. Tutu ????

[@GreggCarlson-ku7di]

All ILB's lead the league in tackles. He was not a good cover guy and he had Donald in front of him.

[@rw7632]

Smith will be returning punts. I know he's not on the roster. Just wait a minute.

[@jamesmitchell6483]

Reason?! Yes, BUT WHAT ?!?!

[@renegade5872]

Rams are the worst at getting return on their investments. We had jones play with wagner to learn from, then he becomes a leader and a week before the season starts we trade him for nothing. Rams doing rams shit

[@Yungbrose]

Rams organizations, we need 2 new people for this show. Rams fan since '98. This is terrible representation of our fanbase.

[@imagenatura]

Maybe you're not getting the big picture. They're loaded at receiver. Maybe they want another LB, but the potential trade partner didn't want Jones in return. I could see the Rams trading Atwell and some picks for a high-value player that's ready.

[@am-1711]

If Kyren is Starting Punt Returner, I DOUBT he’s Starting At RB too because why do ALLL that to jeapordize his health?!?! Shows he’s expendable to a degree so they obviously feel Blake and Rivers ie enough apparently

[@Yungbrose]

He played returner in the first three games last year & still got 15-20 touches...

Why you crying I trust the staff
