yes on the rams winning their football game well that's an 87% chance right now the rams will beat the arizona cardinals arizona not a very good team they do have talented players we'll talk about that in a bit but uh they're obviously a little bit going to be underdogs in this football game first they lost against rams if i say $25 yes the rams will win this football game if i trade $25 i'll

let's talk a little bit about the Rams Alaric Jackson update we have a couple things to discuss and break down but the biggest thing is going to be originally if you forgot you weren't here the other day when i talked about this situation i talked about Alaric Jackson i said uh he basically post game uh there were some words exchanged with him and Bradley Chubb of the Buffalo Bills uh you could see uh video clips there's evidence of them kind of talking it looks like Bradley Chubb initiates some conversation while Alaric Jackson's in the middle of trading jerseys with the Buffalo Bills player and then you see uh this is the response Alaric Jackson gave to uh Bradley Chubb for the things that he said now there is a couple of rumors uh i guess Bradley Chubb had to respond to a rumor of him mentioning something about Alaric Jackson's mother i'm not sure if Alaric Jackson is claiming that's what was said either way whatever what was said some people have said this already on on social media media in general Alaric Jackson needs to handle his emotions a little bit better difficult thing to do for sure we have football players that are so uber aggressive all the time we want them to be physical aggressive athletes uh they just went to battle against one another right Bradley Chubb and Alaric Jackson they went to war against one another and then Bradley Chubb still talking and chirping after his team won the game uh apparently he was mentioning Bradley Chubb was saying something along the lines of uh there's chip blocks there you guys couldn't get me one on one you had to have tight ends help and running backs help whatever he was saying talking his trash and therefore it was responded to with Alaric Jackson punch in the face so obviously not ideal for Alaric Jackson whatever bradley chubb said like i said doesn't really matter at this point bradley chubb should he be talking who cares you shouldn't be swinging on players post game because you get dealt with a suspension now the update we're dealing with right now is that Alaric Jackson actually went he appealed uh this suspension he was went from a two-game suspension it has now been brought down apparently reportedly brought down to a one-game suspension so he will be suspended for one game he will miss the Arizona Cardinals game and hopefully he will be back the next following week against the Las Vegas Raiders that is the word right now on the situation so in terms of who is going to step in and replace Alaric Jackson in this football game it looks like it's going to be David Quisenberry the Rams signed him last year played a whole bunch of right tackle in his career in the past has played left tackle at times but not nearly as much as he's played right tackle so interested to see how he holds up at left tackle he needs to be able to protect that blind side of Matthew Stafford I think at this point it's a good test for you to see hey is he uh going to be capable in a game scenario to hold up and block for Matthew Stafford that is going to be the question but David Quisenberry will have to meet that test this coming week uh Sean McVay already confirmed it in the media and a press conference that David Quisenberry will be taking the left tackle role for Alaric Jackson so Alaric Jackson missing one game rather than two good for the Rams the Rams should be able to sneak away with the victory versus Arizona Cardinals even without Alaric Jackson but it is going to be a little bit of a thing to keep an eye out and look for if Stafford's getting beat up and sacked from the left side we know who is blocking on that side now right so they don't want to make sure that is avoided hopefully uh they can finish this game out strong and David Quisenberry can hold up strong and the Rams will ultimately be okay so that's the update there for Alaric Jackson and we're talking about Matthew Stafford the Rams Puka Nacua can these two come alive again I mean last week they had what 17 uh times they connected with one another 16 whatever it was a bunch of connections with Puka Nacua and Matthew Stafford yardage wise wasn't going crazy they weren't going deep down the field too much but they were uh Matthew Stafford was feeding Puka Nakua a lot they were obviously feeding off one another they were playing really well with one another and honestly it wasn't just a Puka Nakua show give a lot of credit to Davante Adams i think this is kind of the original idea we had when Davante Adams came to Los Angeles Rams we initially thought he was going to be more of a red zone threat he was that last year right 700 yards only with 14 receiving touchdowns this year he exploded for a bunch of yards early without Puka Nakua being able to be on the field and then now he's kind of back to more of a red zone target I like it I still want to see more deep balls to Devontae Adams I want Stafford to kind of get Devontae more involved throughout the game because we see when Davante is hot he's a hall of fame type of player when he gets he gets a hot hand you want to make sure you keep feeding that hot hand he is a dog one-on-one coverage doesn't matter go up he'll go up and get the football so overall i want to see them get Davante Adams more involved throughout the progression of a drive you want to see him kind of catch a ball over the middle of the field or the middle of a defense he know he has the ability to do it Stafford has to target him a little bit more deep down the field that is what i want to see the rams do but either way uh right now Davante Adams and Puka Nakua are complimenting each other very well one guy's a red zone threat one guy's a threat all over the field so we're happy to see that for sure the rams got to continue it against the Arizona Cardinals because the Arizona Cardinals are not a very good passing defense we know their pass coverage is not the best so take advantage of that but I think you have to also remember Matthew Stafford should not I'm not gonna say he can't but he should not be at 38 years old having to throw the football 55 times in a football game to win a game let him go down to a little more of a 30 to 35 hopefully under 30 passing attempts in this football game if you force the football into Kyron Williams and Blake Corum look if the run game is not working don't force it don't get me wrong but I think these guys should be able to see some success against this Arizona Cardinals defense they're not the best defense that we've seen the rams go up against Kyron Williams had a decent game last week i think he had more important high kind of leverage plays where the rams needed to make and that's why i felt like he had a really good game but like 16 17 carries for about 49 yards was not the best of days efficient most efficient days for Kyron Williams so get Corum involved get Kyron involved let these guys uh eat early in this football game so you can open up some play action open up opportunities deep down the field allow yourself to get a big lead in this football game so therefore you can start running the air out the football as the game ends I want to see 30 plus carries with Corum and Kyron combined I think that's very doable for this Rams team against an Arizona Cardinals team I'm not saying chalk it up as an easy win this offensive line is going to be a question we got to take a look at Larry Jackson being out what David Quisenberry like we just said is going to do in there but I want to see this team succeed offensively against Arizona Cardinals that shouldn't be a question defensively can you hold up against Trey McBride Can Quentin Lake cover Trey McBride? Can Nate Lamb not be unscathed like he was a little bit against Josh Allen and cover a little bit of Trey McBride? That's going to be a key for the Rams. Michael Wilson has been a threat. We know that. No more Marvin Harrison. So Michael Wilson actually might pop off for a couple of, that's actually a good point. I got to make sure I note that for my fantasy football team. Michael Wilson might actually have some good opportunities there now that Marvin Harrison is out. Not that he was doing much in Arizona, but he's now gone and he's traded away in Houston. So no Marvin Harrison. Focus on Michael Wilson. Focus on Trey McBride. focus on slowing down this run game with Jeremiah Love we know he's a dangerous runner we've seen in college he hasn't really done it consistently at the NFL level but how can you slow down the run game with him and i was here you should be able to make it happen Jacoby Brissett is not the rushing uh kind of a threat that uh Josh Allen was so we know that's going to be a little bit better for sure on that front but he's got some mobility in him as well don't be don't be surprised if you see him pop off for a nice eight yard first down every now and then it's going to frustrate you in the third quarter or something like that but the Rams should be able to handle business versus Arizona Cardinals even with the injuries they're dealing with and they should be able to take a win in this football game you're playing against Mike LaFleur one of your old coaches you should be very familiar with his offensive scheme as well I think the Rams should be okay in this football game to win the game shout out to Mike LaFleur by the way running running the show out there in Arizona not really doing too hot I would say but also doesn't have much to work with um so what are you gonna do I think um you know they're gonna grow and develop and give him a couple years Mike LaFleur will have that team uh playing better hopefully for him not hopefully for the Rams for sure but I have a question for you guys how are you guys feeling about the Los Angeles Rams at this current moment October 15th Thursday ahead of week six in the NFL how are you feeling about the Los Angeles Rams sitting at two and three going into week six you got a Sunday matchup against Arizona Cardinals how are you feeling about this team on a scale one to ten by the way so one being the closer you get to one is trade everyone season's over it is what it is or a 10 feeling like I'm fine we're fine everything is fine Josh don't worry about it with the flames meme kind of behind you we're winning that bowl it doesn't matter we're gonna be okay i'm more at about uh seven right now with los angeles rams they played so well against the buffalo bills special teams killed them a little bit they made some adjustments with the kicker i think the rams will be okay they just got to make those adjustments ahead of time i kind of thought Harrison Smith we knew was going to be iffy and not reliable in the kicking game in terms of uh deep uh field goal attempts we knew that from last year the rams probably should have had a competition for him in the summer overall it is what it is they moved on from him we'll see if Blake Grupe can actually be a reliable kicker for the Rams moving forward, but I'm more of about a seven. The Rams played really well. They did what they're supposed to do. They're doing what they're supposed to do, and they're just losing, unfortunately, losing these games, not finishing these games out strong, so the Rams, I think, will be okay. They played some tough teams, had some tough battles. Over the next five weeks, the schedule lightens up for them. They should be able to win these football games, or at least a majority of these football games coming up, and put themselves in a position to be, again, atop of the leaders in terms of projected winners for the Super Bowl I think they're still kind of favorites right now to win the Super Bowl which is crazy sitting at two and three but that's how good this team is that's how good the world thinks this team is and how good this team should be moving forward that's gonna do it for me on today's episode of the Rams Digest make sure you guys drop it down below your thoughts on how you're feeling about the Rams thank you to Calshi for sponsoring today's video if you haven't tried Calshi just yet download Calshi today the link is down below in the script description and the pinned comment use code DIGEST NFL so you get that 55 dollars instantly added to your account when you trade your first 25 dollars thank you again to Calshi for sponsoring today's video that's gonna do it for me i'm your host joshua
