Rams on 53-Man Roster Bubble, Will Stetson Bennet Keep Job, Bruss Breaking Out, LA Has Their Kicker!

[@ramgray50]

Wow, if you go to the Rams roster, the Rams have a big team! These dudes on the OL are 6’7, 6’8, 6’5

[@Pandoventures]

You're so caught up in Stetson being a starter. The dude was out of football for a year; he's going to have some rust. What's more intriguing about him is whether or not he can be our QB1 in the future. Clearly, McVay sees something in him, or he wouldn't have kept him on the roster. We can all agree that McVay is just a little better at evaluating talent than Travis, which is why Travis's opinion is so laughable. I'm gonna trust McVay knows what he's doing.

[@Blair_.5]

umm maybe mcvay is keeping him because stafford might get injured and garoppolo is suspended lol common sense

[@excession30]

He also kept Brett Rypien around. Why?

[@mobsquad4792]

HEY I COULDNT HAVE SAID IT NO BETTER THAN THAT….. you pretty much hit right on the nail about Travis…… I trust Sean more than wat I believe in wat ur saying…..!!!! Travis you are really negative you always negative….!!! In this podcast….

[@wildmansamurai3663]

Bennett won't be in the league next year.

[@Pandoventures]

@@excession30 I'm not saying McVay is right 100% of the time. Clearly, he was wrong about Rypien. I’ll even agree with Travis, Bennet didn’t look good in game 1 and might never develop into a starting QB in the NFL. The problem I have with Travis is how he criticizes. It’s when he says things like, the only play Stetson ran well was the last play of the game, or when he says: “It would make me very nervous that the head coach doesn’t feel like he needs to be there to shepherd me (Stetson) through” referring to the fact that McVay will be in the broadcast booth during some of the game. How he says McVay “doesn’t care” about preseason because he lets the coaches and 2nd/3rd string players take over the game. Maybe McVay loves preseason because it’s a chance for the coaches and 2nd/3rd string players to get valuable reps in actual game scenarios. Maybe he loves the preseason because he can get a better idea of their leadership skills by handing the reins over. I personally love watching the Rams in preseason more than ever. Seeing guys like Tyler Davis, Jordan Whittington, Puca Nacua last year, and yes, Stetson Bennet get a chance to play pretty much the entire game! It’s exciting, and I’ll bet valuable in evaluating the Ram’s depth. The point is, it’s insulting for Travis to assume what’s going on in Stetson’s or McVay’s head. DMAC, on the other hand, gives criticism without being insulting. For example, he says, “If Stetson Bennet doesn’t go out there and perform, it’s gonna be difficult to see him making this roster.” This critique doesn’t go the way of assuming what the coaches or players are thinking. I’ll end with this: Travis acts like he’s a shock sports commentator when he’s on a Ram’s fan podcast. This should be a place for discussion, not a place to get attention by making shocking, outlandish, and insulting comments. And that’s why I called him laughable.

[@davidmclean3600]

I gotta admit, i don't watch this show as much anymore because of Travis! I refuse to believe anything he just said about McVay not caring about preseason games! I would love for any reporter to ask McVay this and hear his response.

[@davidmclean3600]

I really love this show because i think DMac is the man! But Travis is truly insufferable!

[@EddieHersh]

Travis doesn't know what he is talking about.

[@l.a.hoghead1534]

I think that the preseason is for TV Networks. They get to show more games than in an actual season. As a fan, I like watching more football. But I understand that players do play a lot of games. That is why many get compensated very well.

[@Ramsman34]

I believe MCV is going to be in the coaches booth not the broadcast booth

[@kellmerWF52]

The rams have a lot of talent trying to make that front 7 on defence. I'm excited, even with AD gone, I think the D is going to be really good. Go Rams!!!

[@MichaelSampson-c4d]

Stetson is probably just another AJ McCaron former Alabama "STAR"... Great in college and thats ABOUT it...I guess we have to give him a legitimate shot. GO 🐏💙💛

[@daviddeaconjones924]

You guys are forgetting the fact that Coach McVay gave Bennett the game ball at the end of the Cowboys game

[@MrZola1234]

That doesn't mean anything. He was asked about SB directly. He made it clear his position as the 3rd QB was not secure, he needs to see more. SB is probably going to make thd team because of lack of a better 3rd option... but, he isn't even a legit 2 in this league

[@bigronmas3113]

Wow, Travis isn't giving A. P. ANY credit for being a competent future head coach !!!

[@templehillsfunk]

I COMPLETELY disagree that preseason games are not important. There's a difference between playing a team in a practice/scrimmage scenario and playing in the stadium against an opponent in front of a live audience in a real game situation for rookies.

[@Ramsman34]

Preseason is useless except for evaluating the tackling ability of guys on the roster bubble. Joint practices are harder than games. Waaay more situational reps running your actual schemes. Ask any vet player and he’ll tell you how much more valuable joint practices are than preseason “games”. If these games had any real value, MCV would play more guys who will actually make the team.

[@ckSport3000]

Every game is crucial obviously, BUT if the RAMS can win WEEK 1 vs the LIONS, our schedule sets up well to then win 11 or 12 games. * It's MY OPINION we are much better than the Seahawks or Cardinals, getting 3 out of 4 of those games is likely!

[@travishouse6295]

I actually agree with Travis this time about Stetson needs to have ZERO INTs this week. He needs to really get that under control. What I don't agree with Travis on is that Stetson needs to be a game manager in preseason. I like to see him taking shots, that's the way a young QB learns what he can and can't do. Hopefully Bennett learned from last week.

[@WillieBowen-o2n]

Totally agree with Travis

[@24X7CARZ]

@@travishouse6295 - I could live with a reverse of the first game: 4 TD’s 1 INT.

[@wildmansamurai3663]

[@VincePerazzola-lr8gf]

I’m not a fan of preseason, but I think since the lack of playing this is why more players are getting hurt every year instead of building hits on the body during the preseason

[@jonostuard4641]

What kind of range does Karty have? Has he been kicking 60 yarders or high 50's in practice?

[@andrewmartinez4765]

Stop hating on t-dog! one love. GO RAMS!

[@ckSport3000]

NOT trolling, I think if the RAMS are in Playoff mode by mid-season, Aaron Donald WILL RETURN. (lets see)

[@torpedohost]

we need give taylor rapp max extension

[@michaelgeraghty3989]

Counting the one negated by penalty, 5 interceptions in one game, given his general lack of excellence, makes him an experiment who didn’t work out. The Rams need a QB3 who can run the offense while completing at least 55% of his passes with minimal turnovers. Stafford and Jimmy G are injury prone. QB3 matters.

[@ckSport3000]

Stetson was told to "Fire the ball" take some shots.. IT WAS PRESEASON for heaven's sake. I think he has the stuff to be an awesome backup QB.

[@wildmansamurai3663]

He will be out of the league next year.

[@marcuscalderon8506]

Travis you couldn't be more wrong. He didn't seem like he was taking a day off when he was on camera getting upset over a personal foul penalty and say bullcrap.....Not really what he said. I'm pretty certain that the guys who actually play in these preseason game feel like they matter very much so and I fail to believe McVay doesn't know that and appreciate someone putting it together during a game not just practice. When the lights are on how do they respond. Absolutely need preseason games. Not 4 but have to have at the very least 2.

[@Lt-Dan]

Send Stetson to San Francisco and he wins another championship, Rams will have suitcase Jimmy in 2 games.

[@sirrandolph8552]

Pretty bad take by Travis ... Like any job, you have a 90 day observation and OJT review. Pre-Season is just that. It's not worthless and McVay by in large uses it to increase the bench strength of his staff by giving them opportunities for growth and understanding. Ignorant statements of common business practices.

[@davidmclean3600]

I really don't think Sean McVay looks at it that way Travis!! Your in LA and you should know more than us how much this man cares about football. I believe Sean loves giving his staff opportunities and that's the reason his staff gets poached all the time! You should be able to read a room better than this , Travis! Unless I heard McVay say that he doesn't care about these games then I would never believe anything you just said. That was a lazy ass take, IMO!

[@Mojohoho1]

Something tells me that with more experience Stetson Bennet can probably be good? Did he have a ton of interceptions in college too?

[@24X7CARZ]

66 TD’s 21 INT’s. But keep in mind, Tim Tebow was way better in college, 88 TD’s and 16 INT’s - and we know how that turned out in the NFL.

[@bobbymendel6603]

[@wildmansamurai3663]

Bennett over or under 3 interceptions? I've got the over.

[@stevenpadilla2254]

Travis need to go lol I’m fine with just Doug 💀

[@dr.pakadoc717]

This is simple. Play very well in the pocket; without interceptions; and hit passes over 30 yards, and Bennett earns a roster spot. Talk about some talent to look for, how about Omar Speights, Tyler Davis, and WRs Drake Stoops and Sam Wiglusz. The WR room has almost no space, but these two are talented.

[@dr.pakadoc717]

Welp, over a dozen 3-5 yard passes, an interception and a fumble. 6 turnovers to 2 TDs in the span of two games, and everyone gushed he played good enough. As I wrote before, “Sorry Dresser Win” you’re gonna lose your spot.

[@ramgray50]

I think the kid from WSU is the 4th edge

[@stevebetker829]

Stetson reminds me of Fran Tarkington , except Stetson has a much stronger arm. Give him some time and he’s going to win some superbowls for the rams.

[@dr.pakadoc717]

Respect your opinion, however, I was surprised at the comparison. I remember watching him and he was amazing. I don't see it, but it's your view. Your post made me look at my SP auto card of him just now.

[@wildmansamurai3663]

You're delusional.

[@shaolinman]

Jonah Jackson is injury prone and not ready. Rams have to put him on the injured reserve with designation to come back in week five or six. Put Logan Bruss on the 53 active roster when he makes the cut and let him fill in for Jonah Jackson.

[@wildmansamurai3663]

Bruss is terrible.

[@shaolinman]

@@wildmansamurai3663 Bruss was terrible last year and his rookie season. He got cut and put on the PS last season. During the Cowboy game, Bruss seemed to do OK. Hopefully, he’ll turn his career around this season. Otherwise, Bruss would have been another wasted third round pick.
