Baldy talks Rams and Matthew Stafford
So what does Baldy have to say about the LA Rams and their new quarterback Matthew Stafford? Well, it’s worth a listen as he chats all about the Rams with Sarina Morales. And yes, we have it all for you right here:
For starters, he points out that the Rams roster is led by NFL elite stars. Due to the impact of significant dead cap money, the Rams have been compelled to place all of their eggs into the baskets of a few elite NFL players like Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, and now, Matthew Stafford. On days when the top players show up, Baldinger states that the Rams are a very difficult team to beat.
Of course, a closely-tuned listener can make out the rest of his claim. If the LA Rams suffer an injury to one of the team’s top players, the fortune is reversed and it’s a tough victory for the Rams. That all makes sense, and it need not take a professional NFL analyst to point out the relationship between health and success for this Rams team.
Where Brian Baldinger earns his dinner, so to speak, is his conversation about Matthew Stafford at the 6:20 mark. Baldy points out that Stafford has never had the supporting cast that he gets with the LA Rams. He likes the surge of Rams rookie running back Cam Akers, particularly in the NFL Playoffs.
