Random Ramsdom: It’s May, but their schedule looks tough

Rams schedule holds greater than comfortable risk of playing in winter’s worst (ramblinfan)

“While playing football in the snow can be a great deal of fun, compounded with traveling across the country and competing in an entirely different time zone, it puts LA at a distinct disadvantage. Los Angeles faced Philadelphia in a blizzard not so long ago and lost that NFL Divisional Round game by a score of 28 to 22. It was a game that flashed signs of brilliance, but the snow and Eagles running back Saquon Barkley proved to be too much. Now, Rams fans hope to avoid similar circumstances in 2026.“

Ty Simpson shares ‘funny’ message Matthew Stafford sent him after draft (ramswire)

“It was funny because, of course, he was like, ‘Welcome, man. I’m super pumped,’” Simpson said Saturday, via Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. “He was like, ‘Loved watching you play, but you played for the wrong jersey,’ because he’s pumping up Georgia.” SEC rivalries are no joke, and now Simpson is outnumbered by two former Bulldogs in Stafford and Stetson Bennett. “So when I see him on Monday, I’m going to give him heck about that,” he said. “But it’s cool. I’m super excited, especially having him and Stetson in there, Georgia guys, and me, an Alabama guy, so I’ve got to stand up for myself.”

One Rams pick named among ESPN’s best draft fits of 2026 (ramswire)

“Say what you will about Ty Simpson as a prospect, but it’s hard to find a better fit between a quarterback and team than him and the Los Angeles Rams. He’s a good blend of pocket passer and mobile quarterback, which is exactly the type of player who could excel in Sean McVay’s offense. Not to mention, Simpson is afforded the time to sit and develop in Los Angeles, getting a chance to learn from a likely future Hall of Famer in Matthew Stafford. That’s not something he would’ve gotten anywhere else – certainly not with the Jets or Cardinals, who were seen as his other suitors.“
