Does Stafford have a Golf related back injury?

Maybe this was disclosed and I missed it, but this seems plausible.

My son mentioned this to me today. He read that Stafford's doctor, the one that has been treating him, while one of the Rams doctors, he is also known to specialize in golf related back injuries. So the thought is did he hurt himself playing golf?

He participated in the OTA's in Maui and then played in a team sponsored golf event in Maui. He also played in a pro/am golf event this summer.

Makes you wonder, especially since they have been cryptic about his injury if he hurt it at that team event?

RIP Loni Anderson

I am kind of late with this, but I was looking to see if anyone had posted this already? She was very fun in the show WKRP in Cincinnati. RIP Loni...

Rams RB Blake Corum explains what he's doing differently in Year 2

Rams RB Blake Corum explains what he's doing differently in Year 2​

Tyler Greenawalt
Rams Wire


Los Angeles Rams second-year running back Blake Corum didn't have the greatest rookie season. The third-round pick out of Michigan rushed only 58 times for 207 yards in 17 games before he fractured his arm in Week 18 to miss the entire postseason.
Now in Year 2, Corum remains the main backup to Kyren Williams but might have some pressure with rookie Jarquez Hunter sitting behind him. Corum, though, has noticed a clear difference between this season and this past season — specifically with his approach to the game.
"Year 1, I was trying to be as perfect in everything that I did. I didn’t want to make any mistakes. And that slowed me down a bit in terms of my capabilities," he said. "Now I’m just out there letting it loose. I’m playing at a lower weight, I feel faster, I feel more agile, I feel great. Between that and the game slowing down, that’s the biggest difference."
That combination — not being a perfectionist and slimming down — will be crucial for his development in 2025. The Rams don't need him to be a bellcow, but they'd likely want him to be a solid role player on the offense so Williams doesn't always need to carry the full load.
Corum and Hunter also play the position differently from each other and Williams. That trio of skillsets could open up the playbook a bit more for Sean McVay in 2025 and give Matthew Stafford more weapons to work with as the Rams look to make another playoff push.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Here's hoping Corum and the Rookie Can still have opposing defenses worried about our run game,
While Kyren gets his breather. That would be a huge plus.

Nate 'Peanut Punch' Landman makes waves at training camp

Nate 'Peanut Punch' Landman makes waves at training camp with violent precision, command of the field​

Aug 02, 2025 at 11:44 AM

Wyatt Miller
Staff Writer


LOS ANGELES – As soon as Davis Allen caught the pass, inside linebacker Nate Landman cocked his fist. The tight end only took one step upfield before Landman punched the ball loose from under his left arm, and the pigskin skittered away, recovered by the defense.
Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said that two plays prior to that, Landman had addressed the defense shouting, "Hey, we're going to get a ball out here at some point," and then he made it happen himself.

Over the past two seasons, Landman has forced six fumbles, tied for third-most among off-ball linebackers in that time, according to Pro Football Focus. Last year, the Rams' 10 forced fumbles were tied for the sixth-fewest in the NFL, so Landman's expertise in that area can certainly help improve that rank. The key, he said, is to find opportunities to rip the ball out while not sacrificing the tackle.
"Sometimes when you're tracking the hip on the tackle, it shows up right there and there's your opportunity," Landman said. "I'm a stronger ball puncher with the right hand than I am with the left. I'm definitely more comfortable moving that way, and that's when I tend to seek those opportunities with the carrier going away (from me)."
"I almost want to call him 'Peanut Punch Landman,'" said safety Quentin Lake with a smile, referring to the move made famous by former Bears cornerback Charles 'Peanut' Tillman.
Throughout the first two weeks of training camp, Landman has acted as a ball magnet whose violent precision has constantly threatened to jar the ball loose. The 26-year-old from Zimbabwe is entering his fourth NFL season, and has already built a reputation as a sound tackler, leader and turnover creator in the middle of the field.

In 2023, when Landman started 14 of 16 games for Atlanta, he was one of the best run defenders in the league at his position, ranking third in run stops (constituting a failed play by the offense) with 46, and missing just 6.8% of his tackle attempts, via PFF.

He attributed some of that tackling successful to his rugby background.
"The game has kind of moved on from keeping your head out of it into wrap and roll, and those are the kind of fundamentals they teach in rugby when you're growing up and starting it because, obviously, you're playing without pads," Landman said this offseason. "That translates to football really well, especially in the open field, outside zone, or different schemes like that."
Throughout two weeks of training camp practice, Landman has been shooting gaps and beating running backs to the edge, often throwing jabs at the football when he does. His elite instincts have given the Rams' offense fits.
"If he feels a lineman leaning or something like that... he's not afraid to trigger, and you like that from guys," LaFleur said. "He's testing himself out here in July, getting himself ready for September. I think we're lucky to have him and the leadership he's bringing right now. He's going to be a good player."

His familiarity with the Rams' defensive scheme has helped him transition "seamlessly" this offseason, inside linebackers coach Greg Williams told theRams.com during OTAs.
Rams senior defensive assistant Jimmy Lake, quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone and former Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris coached Landman in Atlanta. Everything L.A. heard about him from those coaches has materialized, from his proclivity for being in the right place at the right time to his "natural leadership traits," said head coach Sean McVay.
Whether he's barking orders in the middle of the defense or sprinting to congratulate teammates after a big play, his presence is felt as much before and after the play as it is during.
"I've always grown up in the defense where the... middle linebacker is kind of the quarterback of the defense, directing traffic," Landman said. "That's the place where I feel comfortable in. I think it elevates my game, allows me to know what the front's in, where the defensive backs are coming down (and) if this safety's coming down here on this motion."
"He's become one of the leaders of the defense and he's such a vocal guy," said defensive coordinator Chris Shula. "He's a glue guy. He can organize the whole defense, he can put a lot on his plate, he's always in the right spot, and you just feel how physical he is."
That physicality was put on display in pads when he stuffed running back Blake Corum in a short-yardage situation. Landman squared his shoulders, got low to the ground and stopped Corum in his tracks, pushing him back behind the line of scrimmage.
That textbook tackle was just one of the many impressive plays he's made during training camp that have drawn the attention of everyone on the field and in the stands at Loyola Marymount University.

"He practices the right way (and) communicates at an All-Pro level," Lake said. "He's setting himself up for a lot of success and he's going to do it this whole season. I truly believe that."

Cobie Durant embracing collaboration, confidence ahead of Year 4, leading to impressive showing early in Rams Camp

Cobie Durant embracing collaboration, confidence (and dance moves) ahead of Year 4, leading to impressive showing early in Rams Training Camp​

Wyatt Miller
Staff Writer

LOS ANGELES – Rams cornerback Cobie Durant let his personality shine from Day 1 of training camp.
Defending a deep ball to wide receiver Puka Nacua down the left sideline, Durant met his adversary in the air to bat away a back-shoulder throw, which he followed with an emphatic Nae Nae dance celebration. The next day, he hit the Stanky Leg dance after denying rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson on an end zone shot.
Whenever he makes a big play, Durant busts out a move that he's schemed up ahead of time, part of his devotion to playing freely and with confidence in 2025.
"When you can come out here and have fun, man, and have that great energy and just engage with one another, engage with the fans, it builds your confidence, and that's a big thing for me this year," Durant told theRams.com.

250729_cobiefeature_16x9

This offseason, Durant has embraced collaboration and the idea that "no question is a dumb question." Whether its a veteran or a coach, Durant has allowed himself to seek advice about little things that he may not have in years past. It has resulted in a dynamic and confident start to Rams Training Camp presented by UNIFY Financial Credit Union for the effervescent cornerback.
"Everybody's on one accord asking questions (like) 'What techniques should we use here? Can we do this technique instead of this technique?' Or (with) what they already coached, can we just add our own sauce to what they already have and see if it will work?" Durant explained.

Whenever the ball has flown in Durant's direction during the first week of camp, the Rams' fourth-year cornerback has been there to meet it. Early on Day 1, he denied another deep ball, using impressive recovery speed to swat a pass away from a striding Nacua. And even when receivers have caught the ball, it's been through tight windows where they had nowhere to go after the catch.
Durant's personal "sauce" has certainly been visible, as he's looked decisive and athletic. On Day 2 of camp, he almost intercepted a lofty pass from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, again going against Nacua, who's had a fantastic camp himself, just not against Durant.
As long as he stay healthy, Durant said "everything else will fall into place," so that's his main goal for 2025. In an attempt to do so, Durant has also asked his teammates about their eating habits so that he can feel as good as possible throughout the season. He already feels better as a result of that effort.
In Chris Shula's second year as defensive coordinator, Durant has his best understanding of the Rams' defense yet. Plus, an added dose of collaboration and subtle schematic adjustments has helped the Rams' defense grow as a unit in the offseason.
"I'd say (Shula's added to) our four core fundamentals, tackling, pursuit, attacking the ball, things of that nature," Durant said.
A summer full of studying tape to assure himself of his personal responsibilities on any given play has afforded Durant the knowledge and conviction to be the best version of his on-field persona: "Landshark."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And that's the difference between a young mindset a veteran mindset

hope to see big jump for Durant this year. We could use all the CB help we can get. Go Rams



























I saw Oliver Anthony Music Live Last Night ...

Pretty fucking awesome overall if I may say so in Phoenix, AZ. I'm not a huge country fan but he wasn't that. Off memory he did the following cover songs; Freebird, Simple Man, Devil Went Down to Georgia and a popular Hank Williams and Johnny Cash songs. He played a new one called 'Hank' that comes out in a few weeks. His supporting band is incredible! I've never heard a fiddle and or chello live ever before. They also covered Primus, too.

He also played ' Scornful Woman back to back. He didn't like the first effort so played it all over a second time.

Enjoy for anyone that appreciates him.

Shoutout and big thank you!

I wanted to make sure everyone knew about the help @bubbaramfan and I received in the way of tickets to training camp this year. As you may know, these free tickets to camp "sold" out fast! We couldn't get any!

So a sincere thank you goes to the following members who donated or offered to donate their tickets:

@dpjax
@Flatlyner
@Bkfld_Rams

Give these guys a shoutout if you could! We really appreciated their help!

Veteran Ram Fan

No Camp Report Today July 30th

Sorry guys but @bubbaramfan and I both decided it wasn't worth going to camp today due to a couple of factors.

One, practice is only an hour long which usually means a light walk through.

Two, it takes me an hour to drive to camp and an hour back. Bubba takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

We just couldn't see the value in attending today. This would have been our last day at camp due to limited tickets so that is all from us regarding Rams training camp.

I hope you all can understand.

How offensive play callers rank going into 2025 (McVay at 6)

Have at it!

Kinda surprised Brady was that high but heard great things about what he was doing in BUF last year just didn't watch much of them, LaFleur that low is interesting, I would have ranked him higher in the past. I think Payton took a hit cause he had to pare things down for Nix. Expected Monken high but not that high and people around the league were RAVING about Coen all year (which is fascinating given that he flamed out here in one year but dude really put together an excellent offense last year with injuries to boot).

2025 League Cup

Doesn't seem like there's a lot of interest in the Liga MX vs MLS cup tournament. But I'm a red blooded American dumbass who watches quite a lot of MLS, and I find this one to be a cool tournament because it's a great chance to see the Mexican league clubs. MLS last year did very well vs the other league, so 18 vs 18 is quite a cool set up for the first round, where they only play each other for seeding.

Anyone else watching? "Bueler!?" :laugh3:

Stetson Bennett and play action hits number 19 down the sideline for about 30 yards but the rest are a flag calling it off. I think it was holding off.

There’s the horn for the end of practice McKay bringing everyone in alert Jackson never got out there. Good luck.

McVay brings everyone in for a big huddle and they break off into position groups, all huddling up with their coaches rob Havenstein called Jared versus over for little talk. They’re talking about footwork and stuff looks like they're talking about that play where havensteen fell over bodies talking show like what he would do and Jared versus saying what he was doing, fist bump at the end.
