We are now less than a full week away from training camp, and it’s nearly time to start the 2023 NFL season. The Los Angeles Rams have underwent significant change and are embracing youth on both the offense and defense—they still have three franchise cornerstones in Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, and Matthew Stafford. Sean McVay returns for another season as LA’s lead man and seems intent on returning to his 2017 coaching roots.
Each training camp and preseason brings a renewed sense of optimism for even the usual bottom dwellers of the NFL. Fans talk themselves into why their team’s problem areas were adequately addressed in either free agency or the NFL Draft, and then media reports from camp help solidify their confirmation bias.
