Thatâs hilarious
Heâd be starting QB himself by week 14

The Rams will be without starting left tackle Andrew Whitworth and safety Taylor Rapp for Sundayâs playoff game against the Buccaneers. Whitworth is out with injuries to his knee and ankle, while Rapp is out with a concussion.
Whitworth missed practice all week following Monday nightâs win against the Cardinals. Not having the veteran lineman is a blow to the Ramsâ offense as it faces one of the NFLâs best defensive fronts in the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay allowed the third-fewest rushing yards of any team this season and ranked seventh in total sacks.
The Rams face the Buccaneers in Tampa at 3 p.m. ET Sunday.

How the Rams replace Whitworth, Rapp on Sunday
Jourdan Rodrigue, Rams beat writer: The Rams will play Joe Noteboom at left tackle on Sunday to replace Whitworth. Noteboom would be starting for the Rams were it not for Whitworthâs historic longevity at the position, and he is also in a contract year.
The Rams will miss Rapp for the second consecutive week. Ahead of the wild-card round, they coaxed veteran safety Eric Weddle out of retirement to contribute to their defense and he saw several snaps especially in the first half.
As the Rams continue to play without both starting safeties, inside linebacker Troy Reeder will continue to be the teamâs âgreen dotâ player, meaning he relays the defensive calls to the unit via coordinator.
Are the Falcons not out long ago?
The poor guy also doesnât realize that QBs play against defenses, not other QBs.
Heâs on about the only league table that matters. His top ten QBs.
Bengals Packers Rams all win this weekend
Youâre welcome dudes
(Iâm still making my mind up on the other game)
Just getting into this NFL lark myself recently. Other than Bill Simmons what are the best podcasts out there?
Depends what youâre after. The GM Shuffle is decent in so far as Mike Lombardi has a real Dunphy/courting controversy way about him.
Undisputed with Skip and Shannon sees two OTT personalities take opposing views on the weekâs action. (Youâve guessed it - calamity ensues).
Move the Sticks is informative in a light hearted way. Particularly good around draft season as they assess team needs and prospects.
The Ringer is good, from memory but havenât listened in a while.
If you want NFL Fantasy podcasts, @backinatracksuit is your man.
If you want a stats and betting angle Ray, Iâd highly recommend Adam here.
What do you want exactly? Do you want to know more about scheme and the technical aspect of the game? The Athletic Podcast with Robert Mayes is good, he had Nace Tice and Mitchell Schwartz on giving good in depth analysis.
The Ringer podcast with Kevin Clark and Ben Solak is good as it can be fun but decent analysis and takes too.
I enjoy some of the pff stuff too which is more analytics
Looks like the great Coach Caldwell is getting another chance. Talk is he has his pick of the Bears and Jacksonville jobs, he has declined an interview with the Raiders and Vikings. Perfect coach to mentor a young QB.
Hopefully he ends up in Jacksonville
If you want a light hearted bro humour take on NFL, listen to Pardon my Take.
A monumental effort is required tonight, the MEEJA have the Packers winning handy.
5.5 point line, I think Rodgers will get it done, still holding a grudge from the draft.
Deebo could be the difference though, or will it be a Kittle night?
I think itâll go down to the wire
