Former Disney Channel star Brenda Song has some advice for Rams OC and DC
Brenda Song is still salty about the Los Angeles Rams' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Divisional playoff game earlier this year. In an interview with Mythical Kitchen, Song explained what went wrong in the game and how the Rams could have and should have gone to the Super Bowl.
Song was asked what she would have done to prevent Eagles running back Saquon Barkley from rushing for 205 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-22 win for Philadelphia. Her answer was simply about personnel:
'Let me tell [defensive coordinator] Chris Shula. I like you a lot. I like what you've done with our front four," Song said. "But my issue is: We don't have a run-stopper. We don't use our middle linebackers in the middle. We can't stop the run. That's our biggest problem besides our O-line. We cannot stop the run more than anything."
Song then shifted gears to the offense, especially coordinator Mike LaFleur, and how one play ruined the Rams' Super Bowl aspirations.
"Let's talk about Mike LaFleur, our OC, about our O-line and why Jalen Carter sacked Matthew Stafford," Song continued. "The Philadelphia score should have been 28-29 and the Rams should have been — we would have murdered the Commanders. Sorry, Jayden Daniels, but we would have been in the Super Bowl.'
And when she was asked about the biggest regret in her life, Song was also thinking about the Rams:
'Not being an offensive lineman," she said, "so I could have protected Matt Stafford from that Jalen Carter sack.'
That Carter sack is the stuff of nightmares for the Rams, as the All-22 replay showed Los Angeles could have scored a game-winning touchdown had Stafford not been taken down.

The Rams hope for a return trip to the playoffs in 2025 but with better results. Matthew Stafford will be back, as well as most of the offensive line. But what else happens will come down to the Rams' choices in free agency and the 2025 NFL draft.
