Cowboys @ Rams, Who you got and why? 🏉

[DelMar]

When: Saturday, August 9, 7 pm ET

Where: SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, California

How to Watch: NBC

Now, I know this is just a preseason game. So its not really about who we got to win, like we do during regular season...

But, what about these questions?

• What backup group or player are you looking forward to the most?

• How many fights will happen when the Cowboys attend a joint practice w our Rams this week?

• Final score and who wins?

• MVP of the game?


Now, lets review the BUBBLE WATCH...

Several Rams players are currently considered "on the bubble" for making the final 2025 roster. Here are some of the key battles and players to watch:

Running back

Blake Corum: While drafted in the 2024 draft, Corum faces a potential uphill battle with the continued strong performance of Kyren Williams (who had another 1,000+ yard season in 2024). Williams is also seeking a contract extension, which could impact Corum's immediate role and potentially put him on the bubble if the Rams prioritize other positions with their roster spots. Jarquez Hunter: As another back drafted in 2025, Hunter will need to prove himself in a potentially crowded backfield to secure a roster spot.

Wide receiver

Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield: These players are currently battling for a spot on the depth chart, and their performance in the preseason will be crucial for making the final roster.
Jordan Whittington: Although listed as a "lock" by one source, Whittington will likely still need to perform well to secure his spot, particularly with the arrival of Davante Adams via free agency.

Offensive line

Dylan McMahon and KT Leveston: These players are vying for backup roles on the offensive line and will need to show their versatility to be considered for the final roster.

Linebacker

Nate Landman and Omar Speights: These linebackers have emerged as frontrunners in the competition for starting roles, but they still need to solidify their positions, with players like Troy Reeder and Chris Paul Jr. also in the mix.

Cornerback

Derion Kendrick: Despite being re-signed, Kendrick remains on the bubble according to one source, and will need to demonstrate his value in camp and preseason games.
Josh Wallace, A.J. Green, and Shaun Jolly: These cornerbacks will be competing for the remaining spots, with special teams contributions and defensive snaps potentially playing a role in their selection.

Defensive line:

Players like Tyler Davis and Larrell Murchison are battling for spots on a defensive line that features established players like Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, and newcomer Poona Ford.

Safety:

Nate Valcarcel is competing for a depth spot in the safety room.

Whose 4th string players look better to you DM?

Practice with the Cowboys is an opportunity to develop our martial arts skills first inaugurated by AD practicing with the Bungles.

I suggest a right round house kick followed by a double simultaneous helmet strike.

Bennett, Bennett, and more Bennett.

[GlendoraRam]

I wanna see Josaiah Stewart, Bennett, Dolac, Hunter, and the back OL. I think we win this game easily.

I got the roster half to 3/4 full of Rams who won't be on the team by 4 over the roster half to 3/4 full of Cowboys who won't be on the team...

Sanbags, sitting the woods on some couple retreat, walking around looking for reception, all to watch the vanilla pour of the the ice cream machine.

(if its a couple nature retreat, maybe record the game and watch it when you get home. As your balls might get clipped for 'being that guy' on a Saturday ngt trying to watch our beloved Rams, while the wife is making smor's w that hunk camp guide name Hank (who can bench 400 pounds and eats deer meat raw )

Hank the "Liver King" is a fake...don't know how I'm gonna pull it off yet...I have several options

1) Go out there and tell her how it is right now
2) Sneak around and put some buds in the ear
3) tape it...it is pre-season and the replay all the games anyway...but, I'll know everything because I'll tap into this forum and get some good info

Working through the details as we speak
