The Rams capped off their 2022 draft weekend with 8 total draft picks and a familiar face in Troy Hill. The Rams have made headlines with their unorthodox methodologies: whether it's scouting, the draft house, or their press conferences. They've created a brand that is willing to go against the norm, and it's been met with mixed reviews across the league. We went through all 8 picks, why the Rams deserve more credit than they got for their 2022 draft selections, Troy Hill re-joining the squad, a...

RBTP117: Super Bowl Week Preview - Part 2 featuring Taran Killam

The Rams are 3 short days away from Super Bowl glory, so we decided to bring one of the biggest Rams fans in the world back onto the show to help us preview the Cincinnati Bengals. While we're concerned over Joe Burrow and the Bengals' receiving core, we've overconfident in our ability to win at the line of scrimmage, and the intelligence that lives within our secondary.

RBTP115: SUPER BOWL BOUND! Full Rams vs. 49ers NFC Championship Recap

The Los Angeles Rams finally ended the 49ers season in SoFi Stadium (final score: 20-17, Rams) in one of the most dramatic NFC Championship games of all time. Being able to advance and overcome adversity was important for so many reasons. It ended the doubt we all had about Sean McVay against Kyle Shanahan. The Rams ended up keeping the 49ers away from playing a Super Bowl in their home stadium, while simultaneously keeping them around long enough to kill as many tough opponents along the way. T...

RBTP114: NFC CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND! Full Rams vs. 49ers Preview + Nick's Picks

The Rams are hoping that the third time is a charm as they prepare for the 49ers to head into SoFi Stadium on Sunday for the NFC Championship game. Despite going 0-6 over their last six match-ups against the 49ers, Aaron Donald and the Rams feel like they have no other option but to end the team that's given them the toughest time. The story can't possibly write itself better: not only has Matthew Stafford been playing the best football of his career - but Cam Akers is out for redemption, and Se...

RBTP113: NFC CHAMPIONSHIP BOUND! Full Rams vs. Buccaneers Recap

The Los Angeles Rams are advancing to the NFC Championship. In the process, they've ended Tom Brady's season, and have presented themselves with an opportunity to host the team that has given them nightmares over the past three seasons. Regardless, this episode was focused on what the Rams were able to accomplish during the most relentless weekend of football the world has ever seen. Not only was Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, and the Rams' offense prolific (when they weren't coughing the ball up...

RBTP112: Divisional Round Special - TB Buccaneers Preview, Nick's Picks

The Rams are coming off an explosive 34-point performance against the Arizona Cardinals that has even convinced some of the talking heads in the national media that the Rams are here to stay. Matthew Stafford had one of his best games of the season in the Wild Card Round, as well as going back to Week 3 of this year, when the Rams broke Tom Brady and the Buccaneers 10-game winning streak (dating back to the year prior). Fast forward to today, and despite the Buccaneers dealing with injuries to k...

RBTP111: Arizona Cardinals Wildcard Monday Massacre

The Rams were able to silence a ton of hate on Monday night. Specifically the hate geared towards players like Matthew Stafford, and Odell Beckham Jr., who've never won a playoff game over a combined 21 years. All of the negativity ended in a big way against the Arizona Cardinals, as the Rams exploded to a 34-11 victory at SoFi Stadium. Not only were the Rams dominant when they had the ball offensively, but their defense (specifically their front-7, led by Aaron Donald), was next-level dominant....

RBTP110: Wild Card Weekend with the Arizona Cardinals & Nick's Picks

The Rams were dealing with the very beginning of a COVID outbreak the last time they faced Arizona, and were still able to come away with a win on the road. Without Ramsey, Higbee, Havenstein and Brian Allen, Sean McVay called a game that was led by a true run-first mentality, along with well-timed play action that allowed Stafford to throw touchdowns to his three receivers: Kupp, Beckham and Jefferson. Fast forward to Monday night, and the Rams will be facing off against an Arizona Cardinals te...

RBTP109: 49ers Recap, The "Body Bag" Mentality, McVay's Shortcomings

The Rams had an opportunity to end the 5-game losing streak against the 49ers at home, with a chance to lock up the 2-seed in the NFC and win the division simultaneously. A Cardinals loss still allowed the Rams to clinch the NFC West, but this specific loss to the 49ers seemingly shattered any hope of a deep playoff run and extended our losing streak to Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers to 6 games total (3 years of regular season games). While there is still plenty of hope to be had, we'll discuss McV...

RBTP108: 49ers Preview: The "Body Bag" Game, Nick's Picks

The Rams are facing a pivotal Week 18 match-up against the 49ers. They've lost 5-straight to Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers, and have an opportunity to win the division/lock up the 2 seed with a win on Sunday. With home field advantage and plenty of momentum on the line, the Rams will have to flip the 49ers' game plan on their head, and prove to themselves that they can put their biggest division rival away. Additionally, we'll discuss 5 reasons why the Rams are in a better situation to beat the 49...

RBTP107: Baltimore Ravens Recap, NFC Playoff Scenarios, The Number "5"

The Rams won their 5th game in a row at M&T Bank Stadium this past Sunday, improving to 12-4 over a now 8-8 Lamar Jackson-less Ravens team that was fighting for their playoff lives. We were able to make the trip up, enjoyed every second of it (including the time spent meeting fans), and things continue to look up for us Rams fans as we head into a pivotal week 18 match-up against the 49ers. "5" is now the magic number as we look ahead. It’s the amount of times the 49ers have beaten us in a r...

RBTP106: Vikings Recap, Ravens Preview & Nick's Picks!

The Rams are now 11-4 heading into the last two weeks of the season, with the Baltimore Ravens and the always tricky San Francisco 49ers to finish up. They're coming off of a huge road win against the Minnesota Vikings that featured three interceptions by Matthew Stafford, another 100-yard performance from Sony Michel, a punt-return touchdown from Brandon Powell, Travin Howard's resurgence (in the absence of Ernest Jones), and the star-trio of Ramsey-Donald-Miller shined brightly. The month of D...

RBTP105: Seahawks Preview, Impact of COVID, Nick's Picks

The Rams play host to the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday night, after a massive COVID outbreak affecting up to 25 Rams players PLUS staff members forced the league to postpone the game from Sunday to Tuesday. While many Seahawks fans believe their team is now at a disadvantage, the Rams have been preparing virtually over the last couple of days and will expect to get a large chunk of players back over the weekend. Regardless, Sean McVay has to make sure his team is prepared, entering a very difficu...

RBTP104: Arizona Cardinals Recap, Offensive Evolution, Stars Dominant

The Rams were able to improve to 9-4 last night in a Prime Time win over the top seed in the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals, who’ve now fallen to 10-3. Last night wasn’t just any old win for the 2021 Rams. They’ve now strung together back-to-back wins and have created a brand-new, balanced identity offensively, combined with a dynamic pass rush that's packed with star power, and a young linebacker in the middle who the whole roster seems to trust. December football hasn't always been kind to the Ram...

RBTP103: Jaguars Recap, Dissecting McVay's "New" Offense

The Rams hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars, and were able to improve to 8-4 with a brand-new look offensively, and a new star of the show: Sony Michel. Michel was the Rams' first 100-yard rusher this season, and McVay was able to incorporate a more physical approach at the line of scrimmage, which paid dividends for the Rams on both sides of the ball. Dene & Nick dug into the new scheme, and if it's sustainable moving forward. Support Rams Brothers: The Pod, An LA Rams Podcast by contributing ...

RBTP102: Jaguars Game Preview, Deep Dive into McStafford, Raheem Morris' Defense

The Rams will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at SoFi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With the Rams looking to put the entire month of November behind them, the Jaguars present a unique opportunity that should allow for McVay and Stafford to get back on track. Dene & Nick dig into Sean McVay's tendencies, habits, and play calling ability, the lack of run game, why fans are calling for Raheem Morris to be fired, and the opportunity to improve on Special Teams.

RBTP101: Green Bay Packers Preview, Nick's Picks

The Rams (7-3) are heading into Green Bay for what feels like a playoff game against the 8-3 Packers. The biggest storylines over the past couple of weeks have been opponents injuries, and the Rams' true identity heading into the back-half of the season. While the injuries the Packers are dealing with are certainly crucial, it's up to Sean McVay and the Rams' offense to come out more prepared than they have in previous weeks, and with a game plan that features a little of what Tennessee and San ...

RBTP100: 49ers Recap with special guest Taran Killam!

The Rams have fallen to 7-3 following an awful loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. The Rams Brothers (alongside Taran Killam) had the intention to celebrate the fact that this is the 100th episode of the show's history, but the Rams themselves have lost 5-straight to the 49ers (bringing them to 1-2 in the division on the year) and have a massive identity crisis at hand. While they've added the star power of Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., they're still struggling to win at the lin...

RBTP99: OBJ is a RAM, 49ers Preview, Nick's Picks

The new-look Rams are heading to Levi's Stadium on Monday night to take on the 3-5 San Francisco 49ers. While the 49ers have swept the Rams over the past two years, we're dealing with two completely different rosters, and an injury situation that Kyle Shanahan & co. can't seem to overcome. With the addition of Von Miller (who we'll potentially see on Monday) and Odell Beckham Jr., the Rams' roster is now built for a Super Bowl run. Dene & Nick dig into the current state of the 49ers, inj...

RBTP98: Tennessee Titans Recap with special guest Jake Reiner of CBS LA!

The Rams welcomed the (now) 7-2 Tennessee Titans to SoFi Stadium for Sunday Night Football. While everything was staged for the perfect night: Isaac Bruce receiving his HOF ring in front of sixty thousand fans, Matthew Stafford having the opportunity to separate in the MVP conversation with a big night in prime time, and Nick being interviewed by Jake Reiner of CBS LA prior to the game starting - but the Titans, Mike Vrabel and Jeffery Simmons had different plans. In this episode, Dene & Nic...

RBTP97: Rams Brothers: Tennessee Titans Preview, Nick's Picks with special guest Ryan Dyrud of LAFB Network

The Rams are welcoming the 6-2 Tennessee Titans to SoFi Stadium for Sunday Night Football. The Titans currently own the #1 seed in the AFC, is second in the AFC in points scored (only trailing the Buffalo Bills by 2), and are coming off of an incredibly emotional, in-division, overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts to increase their win streak to 4.

RBTP96: Von Miller is a RAM, Takeaways from Houston, DeSean Jackson Staying?

The Rams took on the now 1-7 Houston Texans over the weekend, but the main storyline of this episode is very much focused on the Rams' recent acquisition of Von Miller. Dene and Nick dig into the defense prior to the move, how much Miller will help to take attention off of Donald and Floyd, creating game-long (and season-long) mismatches with top contenders, and how different Raheem Morris' defense will look with Miller in the rotation. Additionally, we discussed Henderson's progression in the r...

RBTP95: Texans Preview, Rams Lookback, Nick's Picks

The Rams are traveling to Houston this weekend to face off against the Texans. The Texans are 1-6 currently, and are in "sell" mode before the deadline. They've recently traded Mark Ingram, and Brandin Cooks recently tweeted about how upset he is with his current situation. Dene, Nick and special guest Rich compare the current Houston Texans situation to the Rams of old, the Rams' current special teams situation, where upgrades are needed, and what we're expecting to see on Sunday.
