There is a perspective that the Los Angeles Rams don\u2019t exactly value their linebacking position as they typically don\u2019t spend high draft picks on the unit, and when they cut Chris Paul Jr., there was seemingly a level of concern among the fans, but the Rams are 2-0, and their defense from top to bottom has looked sound, now they get a HUGE test against the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

So what have you thought of the linebacking play? Have you been pleased? Is there anyone that you aren\u2019t really feeling at the position? Is there anyone you\u2019d like to see the Rams add or potentially target in the future?<\/p>\n

And for those who saw my final score post,<\/a> if you said that I am fool for saying the Eagles break 30 points, you might be right, I hope you\u2019re right, and I am thinking I should\u2019ve picked a better score, but we\u2019ll see! Go Rams!<\/p>\n

\u201cStewart was on the board with his first career sack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt great,\u201d Stewart told theRams.com. \u201cEvery place I\u2019ve been at, just getting that first sack is kind of a feeling that you can do it, and you want to go even harder from there. And we have a great opponent of this week, so it\u2019s a great opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles seemed likely to address the pass rush, or at least the outside linebacker position, in wake of Michael Hoecht signing with the Buffalo Bills in free agency this spring. Hoecht\u2019s departure left a big void to fill in the rotation, especially as a smart, dependable player they deployed often in their package for known passing situations (third and long, for example).\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cQ: What do you see from Eagles\u2019 QB Jalen Hurts and how the Eagles haven\u2019t lost since September with him at the helm?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable,\u201d stated McVay. \u201cHe\u2019s a winner. He\u2019s a competitor. What I respect about them is they play the game on their terms. They know how they want to be able to play and it\u2019s not exclusive to offense, defense or in teams. It\u2019s all three together. They play team football. They know the style of play that they want to be able to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw a firm reminder of just how spectacular a route-running savant Davante Adams still is, finishing with 1 touchdown and 106 receiving yards on an extremely efficient 6 catches. He and Stafford are finally clicking as expected, and we\u2019d bet our money that the duo\u2019s connection will only strengthen down the stretch of the season.<\/p>\n

Puka Nacua also had a remarkable game with both the passing and rushing play calling, chalking up 91 receiving yards on 8 catches and a 45-yard rushing touchdown. To have such a talented player be able to produce with a pass or run game is a massive boon. We can\u2019t wait to see how else Nacua is utilized in the offense.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n
