Where Should Rams Rank?

Where Should Rams Rank?

Ben Rolfe has a lot of confidence in the Rams, ranking them as the 12th best team in the league. Even more interesting is that the Rams are ahead of the Arizona Cardinals, who are in first place in the NFC West. The Cardinals beat the Rams earlier this season, even though the Rams team was devastated.

Rolfe noted that the Rams’ 4-4 record is better than it seems due to injuries this season.

“When you consider the Rams are facing a brutal schedule and have major injury issues, sitting at 4-4 is very impressive,” Rolfe said.

“There was a sense of decline the first few weeks of this season, but they stood firm and have now won three in a row to get back to .500. The schedule going forward is easier, but not what you would describe as ‘easy’ and ranked 18th toughest.”

Rolfe noted that quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ offense will take the brunt of the load since their defense is young and they are dealing with numerous injuries.

“Los Angeles’ offense is a borderline top-10 unit and will need to overcome a slightly below-average defense.” Wolfe said. “Keeping the trio of Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Kyren Williams on the floor is vital, so this offense can act as a three-way spear. The division is still in play, but there are plenty of potential obstacles along the way.”

The Rams have won three games in a row and there are plenty of winnable games on the schedule. With Los Angeles sitting just outside of first place in the NFC West standings, the importance of the next few weeks cannot be understated.

Los Angeles, 1-4. They have a chance to do something few thought possible as they start the season with injuries to many players critical to their success.

If the Rams, who are already on a winning streak, can keep winning, they will be promoted at the right time of year, which would be ideal for Sean McVay and co. Coaches must take advantage of the golden opportunity in front of them.
