Los Angeles Rams Weekly!

In less than one months time, you can catch all the action from the Los Angeles Rams’ training camp on HBO’s 11th season of Hard Knocks. The series kicks off on August 9th at 10pm ET, and will feature full hour-long episodes every Tuesday until September 6.

HBO released it’s latest teaser for this year’s Hard Knocks, called "I Am Football."  Have a look....

Todd Gurley on Jared Goff: Couldn't ask for better QB. Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley likes what he sees in the team's No. 1 overall pick.

Gurley made an appearance on Friday's edition of NFL Total Access and spoke highly of Jared Goff.

"Great kid. Couldn't ask for a better QB. We are just excited to have him (here)," Gurley said. "He's definitely learning. He's getting better. Just excited to play the upcoming season with him."

Last season Gurley was one of the few bright spots for the team on offense. As a rookie he rushed for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns on his way to winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Gurley's production last year was even more impressive because he did it despite an abysmal Rams passing attack that ranked last in the league in total yards (2,805).

Goff is penciled in as the Day 1 starter and it's hard to fathom the rookie getting much resistance from the other QBs on the roster.

The spotlight will be on the rookie passer early. Los Angeles yearns for showtime from its sports. But Goff's rookie growing pains should be soothed by the fact that he has a good running back and stout defense.

Goff, Gurley and the Rams open training camp on July 29 in Irvine, Calif.

Todd Gurley's fantasy football advice: Draft me No. 1. As we press closer to the start of fantasy football drafts, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has some advice regarding where you should select him.

"Oh, No. 1 overall, for sure," Gurley said on NFL Network's NFL Total Access on Friday. "I mean you maybe could choose AB. You maybe could choose Antonio Brown over me, but that's about it. No body else.... Maybe Cam (Newton), that's it. Cam and AB."

NFL Media's Lindsay Rhodes astutely (and jokingly) pointed out that if she gave Gurley more time, he might add eight more players to the list.


While he likely won't be drafted No. 1 overall in most fantasy leagues, Gurley certainty warrants a first-round selection.

Despite missing three games, Gurley finished third in the NFL in rushing last season with 1,106 yards, added 10 touchdowns, earned five 100-yard rushing games and 4.83 yards per carry.

Playing with a passing game that might hardly scare a Pop Warner team, however, took its toll. Defenses stacked the box against Gurley, daring the Rams to throw the ball. With extra defenders geared to stop him, Gurley earned 2.5 yards per carry fewer in his last eight starts.

First four games as starter: 22.0 carries per game; 141.5 rush YPG; 6.4 yards per carry
Last eight games: 16.9 carries per game; 66.4 rush YPG; 3.9 yards per carry

With rookie Jared Goff likely under the helm in 2016, the Rams hope an improved passing attack will loosen up some of those stacked boxes. With a rookie signal-caller and middling receiver talent, however, the offense will still flow through Gurley.

If Le'Veon Bell doesn't return fully healthy and Adrian Peterson's age begins to show, Gurley has an excellent shot to be the top running back in the NFL in just his second season


The last of the Rams’ three home games to played overseas in the next three seasons will be in China in 2018 against the 49ers per a report.

Back in March, it was reported that the Rams would sacrifice a 2018 home game to play the NFL’s first game in China.

Today, Sports Business Daily’s Don Muret is reporting based off his sources that the game will likely be the Rams’ 2018 home opener and will be against the San Francisco 49ers:
The 49ers will play the Rams in a regular-season game in China in '18, according to sources. It will most likely serve as the Rams' home opener, although no date has been determined, sources said.
The China game will the third regular season home game played abroad in as many years for the Rams.
