It’s time for you to motivate the Los Angeles Rams. It can be venting your frustrations with a certain player, like Colby Parkinson, or a coach, like Sean McVay. It can be trying to hype up Matthew Stafford, who has never beat the Tennessee Titans in his entire career. It can be Les Snead, asking him why he didn’t work harder to keep Willie Lampkin. It can be asking Steve Avila, “Could you have gutted this one out against Jeffery Simmons?”
What do you want to get off of your chest before the Rams face the Titans on Sunday?
I’ll post some prompts in the comments section, or you can create your own, and you use this opportunity on a Saturday to speak your truth about the Rams before they play the Titans on Sunday.
Matthew Stafford: 0-4 vs. Titans
Does anyone want to help Stafford get his mentals straight before trying to break a winless career record against Tennessee?
Stafford’s four career games against the Titans:
- 2012, Lions lose 44-41 in OT
- 2016, Lions lose 16-15
- 2020, Lions lose 46-25
- 2021, Rams lose 28-16
Remarkably, the Rams even lost to the Titans during Stafford’s Super Bowl season. (To be fair, that team was 12-5, something that seems very easy to have forgotten by now.)
Tennessee was terrible last year, Brian Callahan’s first as the head coach. I’ve seen some Titans fans claiming that Callahan doesn’t know how to coach after watching him call Week 1’s loss to the Broncos. Tennessee’s defense wasn’t as much of a problem as its offense however and the Titans actually played the pass quite well, intercepting Bo Nix twice. Do you think Stafford needs some extra motivation to beat the Titans for the first time in his career, or are we overselling a team that went 3-14 last year?
Colby Parkinson: The beat goes on
The $22.5 million tight end is doubtful to play this week anyway, but the story continues for last year’s biggest free agent bust by L.A.. Parkinson had two catches for -6 yards and a fumble in Week 1, literally taking a step backwards from his abysmal 2024 season.
Are you more mad at Parkinson for failing to meet expectations, Les Snead for signing Parkinson, or Sean McVay for continuing to play Parkinson last week?
Sean McVay: Will we see more Ferguson, Jarquez Hunter, Blake Corum?
Do you want to vent some frustrations with McVay’s personnel usage in Week 1?
McVay gave Kyren Williams 82% of the snaps, compared to only 17% for Corum and 0% for Hunter because he was inactive. Instead, Cody Schrader was active and now Schrader is on the Jaguars.
McVay gave 58% of the tight end snaps to Tyler Higbee, compared to 48% for Parkinson, 37% for Davis Allen, and 0% for Ferguson.
What do you want to tell McVay about using his bench going into this week against the Titans? Make sure you’re scrolling down to the comments to share your opinions and find out what other fans are saying!
At wide receiver, McVay had Davante Adams out there for 90% of the snaps, while Puka Nacua had 63% (and missed time with injury), Jordan Whittington had 50%, Tutu Atwell had 42%, Konata Mumpfield had 10%, and Xavier Smith only played two snaps but gained more yards than Tutu and Whittington.
Any other thoughts you want to share with McVay about the gameplan vs. Tennessee?
JeffinBranson shared these thoughts on the comments the other day:
The Titans beat the Rams the last time they played, by sending their pass rush right up the middle. Coleman Shelton et all couldn’t handle it at all. Hopefully McVay has a game plan to counter this. Roll-outs and reverses and jet sweeps and screens are some of the things that negate that tactic. I am not as confident as you guys, but I hope I’m dead wrong and that we trample them. I want to see n offensive explosion, like against Buffalo last year. I hope we put up 40 points.
The Rams are much bigger upfront now, but that doesn’t change the fact that Jeffery Simmons is a menace. He had at least 5 pressures in Week 1 and Denver’s interior offensive line is no slouch.
Troy Reeder: Go off, fam
I just feel like some of you want to go off on Troy Reeder because he’s here, so by all means go for it again.
Tutu Atwell: $10 million for this?
Maybe it’s not Atwell you’re mad at. Maybe it’s Snead and McVay. The Rams paid Atwell $10 million guaranteed to not leave in free agency and then Stafford targeted him one time, for four yards.
This could not have possibly ever been the idea when the Rams paid Tutu $10 million.
Did you realize that a $10 million salary cap hit is the 18th highest in the entire NFL in 2025?
Tutu’s cap hit is only $1 million less than DK Metcalf, it’s more than Brandon Aiyuk, Cooper Kupp, Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Jaylen Waddle, Jerry Jeudy, DeVonta Smith, and Keenan Allen. How was this possibly the plan? One target, one catch, four yards.
Who are you mad with for the Tutu Atwell contract, if anyone?
Darious Williams: Tutu of defense
On defense, Williams has the 16th-biggest cap hit for a cornerback in 2025 but he’s on the bench. It could be a short period of time before the Rams decide to part ways with Williams, but they could just be waiting to make sure that they definitely won’t need him at some point. Injuries happen at cornerback too.
It was kind of questionable to bring back Williams last year. He was cut by the Jaguars, he’s 32, and now he’s unsurprisingly not good enough to be active. Was this a necessary evil for Les Snead or should the Rams have avoided the Darious Williams reunion?
