Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 11/11/24
The Los Angeles Rams and the Miami Dolphins play on Monday Night Football giving their players the chance to shine (or not) on National Television. Jared Verse has been making a name for himself and at this time he seems like a frontrunner for a Defensive Rookie of the Year award, but there are still plenty of games to go so nothing is necessarily determined yet. Can his play continue? Will his play improve as the season continues?
LA also has Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, Byron Young and more so perhaps this defense can show out, but with Tyreek Hill (who was listed as questionable), Jaylen Waddle and more this Dolphins offense might take off.
Feel free to comment on whatever you want and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times! Wiil you be waiting all day for Monday night?
Rookie Jared Verse is a battering Ram, sacking QBs and talking a great game for Los Angeles (newsday)
“As the surging Rams (4-4) prepare to host the Miami Dolphins (2-6) on Monday night, Verse is already a cornerstone of a defense that’s still rebuilding after Aaron Donald’s retirement. He has racked up 3 1/2 sacks and nine tackles for loss, but that’s only a snapshot of the disruption Verse wreaks on opposing offenses.
Verse was the NFL’s defensive rookie of the month for September. He was even more impressive in October with 2 1/2 sacks, four tackles for loss and nine quarterback hits in four games. He’s widely considered the midseason favorite to be the NFL’s defensive rookie of the year, an honor won by Donald himself exactly a decade ago.
“I don’t care about any awards,” Verse said. “Everything will come if I do the things I need to do. … Handling success is harder. Handling failure, you can only get better. But handling success, you can only get worse. I’m just going to continue to work.”

Puka Nacua Names The Rams 4 Toughest Defenders (lafbnetwork)
“I think being able to be, especially around guys on our team, the young guys around [Byron Young], [Jared] Verse, Elias [Neal], and Omar Speights, everybody’s always ready to pack a punch. It’s nice to get back in there and be like everybody’s willing to hit.”
Nacua seems to imply that these four, defensive linemen Jared Verse and Byron Young and linebackers Elias Neal and Omar Speights are cut from the same cloth — the ones most ready to “pack a punch” and “willing to hit.”

Dolphins vs. Rams Final Score Prediction for Monday Night Football in NFL Week 10 (si.com)
“It’s likely too little too late for the Miami Dolphins, but a win in this game at least gives their playoff hopes a breath of life. Tua Tagovailoa has been strong in his return from concussion protocol, but their defense has let them down in two straight weeks,
Meanwhile, the Rams are finally starting to get healthy and have managed to string together three straight wins, putting them just half a game back from the NFC West lead heading into the weekend. They’ll try to mimic last year’s success when they were the hottest team in the league in the second half of the season.”
