According to Kyle Shanahan, the Los Angeles Rams wanted to play in Australia as opposed to playing in L.A. Now, is this a fact? According to Shanahan, it\u2019s a fact. The Rams wanted to play in Australia as opposed to playing a home game in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
According to the 49ers it\u2019s because \u201chome\u201d games in L.A., are like home games in SF. Games in L.A. are an advantage to San Francisco more than to the Rams.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all quite interesting what Shanahan is calling out the Rams for. Another thing that should be interesting is how the Rams plan to travel to and from Australia. Will it be a short or long trip? My guess is they\u2019ll try to keep it as short as possible, and I think Sean McVay recently hinted at that, but we\u2019re still plenty far away from NFL season, so we\u2019ll see exactly how the game is Australia goes down or\u2026down under (hehe).<\/p>\n
Happy Thursday to all! If you are off tomorrow, enjoy your extended weekend. Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day!<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure the Rams lobbied for that game,\u201d LaFleur said when the subject of the Australia game came up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know for a fact they did,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s so bothersome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shanahan joked (we think) that he wants the 49ers\u2019 \u201chome\u201d game in Mexico to have the Rams as the visiting team.<\/p>\n
Still, Shanahan understands why the Rams would want to avoid seeing a home game against the 49ers become a home game for the 49ers. (The Chargers were surely thinking about that last year, when a potential Chiefs takeover of SoFi Stadium was moved to Brazil.)\u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cIn five short months, the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> will depart for Melbourne, Australia, where they will face the San Francisco 49ers in the season opener<\/a>. The game will take place on Sept. 11 in Australia<\/a>, but it\u2019ll air live in the U.S. on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:35 p.m. PT, due to the 17-hour time difference between Melbourne and L.A.<\/p>\n Under Sean McVay, the Rams have tried to make cross-country trips as painless as possible by arriving the day before the game, even with a three-hour time difference. Traveling that close to the game is not possible, going from Los Angeles to Australia, but the Rams still plan to arrive closer to kickoff than the 49ers.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, things got a little tricky when McVay tried to put that idea into words. As part of the NFL Competition Committee, he had a seat at the table but struggled to explain the idea clearly.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really hard the way that we had to write it just because of the semantics of the rules,\u201d Sean McVay said. \u201cSo then, when I was explaining it, I did feel that exact way. I\u2019m like, man, if I\u2019m having to feel like I\u2019m putting a Rubik\u2019s Cube together, this is probably too complex. But yes, actually, that\u2019s probably an accurate way to assess it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s wild that the Rams tried to trade Davante for AJ Brown (that\u2019s what I assume). I can\u2019t imagine what Puka and AJ Brown combo would look like with Stafford. I don\u2019t think there would be enough passes to go around and Brown would go AWOL like he did for the Eagles, but if he behaved, it would have been amazing. But I think that would also mean that Puka might not be extended? Which I would hate.\u201d -CRamsFly<\/a>
