The fatal flaw Los Angeles Rams must address in training camp
The post The fatal flaw Los Angeles Rams must address in training camp appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Rams look equipped for another NFC West title run. The franchise features a strength or multiple strengths at each position group ahead of NFL Training Camp. Except one — which is the fatal flaw the team must address at Loyola Marymount University this week. The Rams have reported back to the local college university to officially start their '25 journey. Los Angeles has players like Kobie Turner envisioning toppling the champion Philadelphia Eagles. The defense also features top NFL Defensive Rookie winner Jared Verse. Then there's the arrival of Davante Adams fueling the hype for '25. But again, there's a unit that could prevent a return to the top of the division. Plus potentially prevent a return to the Super Bowl for the second time since the 2021 season. What is that flaw? Time to dive in. Rams must address inside linebacker Sean McVay and defensive coordinator Chris Shula saw ground games carve this position group up multiple times. Saquon Barkley exposed the ILB crew for the Rams. He went off for 255 then 205 yards in both Eagles wins. The latter yardage ending the Rams' season. Los Angeles ranked 24th against the run last season. They surrendered below 100 rushing yards in only four regular season games. They fielded these low results despite Christian Rozeboom producing a career year. He piled 135 tackles with 69 solo stops. But now he's off to the Carolina Panthers. Do Rams have enough ILB depth? Rozeboom isn't a massive loss compared to Bobby Wagner (2023 offseason) or even Ernest Jones (2024). But his departure creates a depth issue at ILB. The defense features only four true ILB options. None are players who possess the sideline-to-sideline speed or cerebral side of Wagner and Jones. Omar Speights must grow fast. The former LSU Tiger flashed when called upon. Settling for 67 tackles in 10 starts. But Rozeboom's departure forces him to step up immediately. Troy Reeder is one familiar face returning. He's back for a third season. Reeder, however, hasn't recaptured his 2021 form when he tallied 91 tackles. Elias Neal was simply more for special teams and depth in '24. Meanwhile, Tony Fields II comes over via the Cleveland Browns. But Fields only hit two total tackles and played just one game for Cleveland last season. Rams need young performer to rise immediately One day three selection must step up right away. Or general manager Les Snead will need to scour for any free agent left. Former NFC West rival Kyzir White rose as a fit by USA Today's Nick Brinkerhoff. But to prevent a UFA addition, the Rams can see if Chris Paul Jr. rises to the occasion. 'Pooh' starred in the Southeastern Conference for Ole Miss. He's less heralded compared to second round selection Terrance Ferguson. But Paul's hitting is needed out the gate for a rather fringe unit. He's an assignment-oriented weakside LB but with the frame to move inside. Countering the run is his main strength. Paul rises as great news for a unit shredded by multiple running attacks. Still, McVay and Shula needs to get the most out of the inside 'backers. Or another power running philosophy will end the Rams' run.

Rams' Matthew Stafford Gets Major Injury Update From Top NFL Insider
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Rams are currently in the midst of training camp, but they have been doing so without quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford is currently dealing with a back issue, and that has brought plenty of worry from fans and pundits alike. More news: Aaron Donald Has Officially Returned to Rams Training Camp Despite Stafford not suiting up thus far in training camp, NFL insider Adam Schefter has provided a major update on the situation. Though Matthew Stafford hasn't practiced at this summer's training camp due to his back injury, it does not sound like an issue that will prevent him for being ready for opening day vs. the Texans. Cc: @tyschmit 🎧 — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 5, 2025 "I don't think it's ideal when your quarterback hasn't practiced yet in training camp and it's the first week of August, but my understanding is that it's a total maintenance issue. Yes, he has had some back discomfort, and he has had some pain. 37 years old. "But they don't want to put him out there, they don't want to put and wear and tear on his body. He knows how the game works, he knows how the offense functions, he knows how his teammates think and operate. They are intentionally keeping him out ... my understanding is that if the Rams had a game today, Matthew Stafford would be playing without a question," Shefted stated.

The Rams defeated the Vikings news: Vikings Pro Bowl Linebacker Anthony Barr Announces Retirement Stafford is 37 years old and has spent plenty of time in the league, but it does sound like he is not being rushed into practicing to ensure he will be healthy for an entire 17-game season and more. The Rams also kept most of their team intact through free agency, though they swapped Cooper Kupp for Davante Adams. Adams, like Stafford, is a pro who has experienced many seasons in the league. His experience alone perpetuates a level of confidence that he would likely not need to build a huge rapport with Stafford. The pair would likely need minimal time to get on the same page offensively. The Rams were one of the biggest surprises in 2024, putting together a big season after starting off 1-4. The offensive line was ravaged, and Stafford paid dearly for that by taking a bunch of hits. Despite the rough start, the Rams handily beat the Minnesota Vikings in the Wildcard Round, but were bested by the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round. The Eagles went on to win the Super Bowl. Still, the Rams possess a solid core, including Stafford. Though he might need some extra time off to make sure he is healthy for all of 2025, that shouldn't be a major concern. The Rams will still be a contender in the NFC once the regular season rolls around. For more on the Rams and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
