Of course we’re going to be biased. We’re heading into the season with the highest expectations in a decade and a half on the back of an offseason peppered with acquisitions of the highest name recognition following a historic turnaround season in 2017 facing an opponent that just traded perhaps the best edge rusher in the game.If anything, I’m surprised it’s just 11.How confident are you in the direction of the team?Very confident: 85 percentSomewhat confident: 15 percentMeh: 0 percentNot very confident: 0 percentNot confident at all: 0 percentAgain...yeah.The real question here might be...who is in that 15%?! Not that there’s not reason to have some hesitation about things overall, but man...this is about as good as it gets prior to Week 1! Or at least as good as it’s been in a long, long, long time. But good for those of you with such high standards. Keep em up!What is the worst NFL rule?Man this one is hard.The helmet rule is carrying the day probably thanks to some recency bias from the preseason where it was overlegislated to try to and affect gameplay headed into the season.I don’t know how much it will take though for the catch rule to come back on top here. Already from last night’s game between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles (zzzzzzzzz...), we were already reminded of just how confounding the catch rule remains...Ultimately though Greg Gaines Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , this will come down to whatever rule affects a Rams game. Let the Raiders pick up a first down on third and long from the helmet rule and this’ll jump to 90%. A close game late and what looks like a catch from WR Robert Woods or WR Cooper Kupp ruled incomplete and held up on controversial review? The helmet rule will be the least of Rams fans concerns.So stay tuned this season as we track fan sentiment with FanPulse. And if you want your voice heard, sign up here!

Alabama State’s OT Tytus Howard is in town visiting the Los Angeles Rams today, per Rotoworld’s Josh Norris:Howard is an absolute mountain of a man as he stands 6’5” tall and weighs 322 lbs. Not only that, but he’s got the prerequisite arm length (34”) many teams require from their offensive tackles. Howard is a quick and explosive athlete who had a solid combine Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , and was a Senior Bowl attendee.Howard is a likely day-two draft selection who needs to continue to refine his technique, but has the athletic requirements and quickness to make a worthy project. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has Howard compared to Desmond Harrison who went undrafted in 2018, though that was due to off-field reasons and not ability.Not only is the Rams’ left tackle Andrew Whitworth advanced in age, he only has one year remaining on his contract. Whitworth took a few days to mull retirement this offseason, though it was ultimately an easy choice for him to return in 2019. An offensive tackle draft pick could be a smart move to groom behind Whitworth for the future as incumbent Joe Noteboom may resort to starting at left guard following the departure of Rodger Saffold.
