Breaking: Snead Strikes Again: LA Rams’ GM Proves His…
The Los Angeles Rams are 2-0 and have new life as they head into what appears to be a completely new outlook on the season, thanks to Les Snead.
At 1-4, some Rams fans were ready to change the channel to watch Lebron and Bronny James. Instead, the Rams have done enough to capture the attention of Los Angeles sports fans once again.
Many pundits are crediting a mix of Sean McVay, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Kyren Williams. However, few are handing credit to general manager Les Snead, who managed to create the perfect trap game for the Minnesota Vikings.
Following the team’s win against the Las Vegas Raiders, reports began swirling that the Rams were interested in trading Cooper Kupp. Had they gone through with the trade, the team’s 10-point win against the Vikings might not have ever taken place. Of course, the validity of the reports never appeared to be confirmed.
However, Snead never came forward to set the record straight, leaving many teams to assume the 2-4 Rams were cashing out on the season.
This especially gave reason to the Vikings to let their guard down going into the contest. Of course, that was a miscalculation, as the Rams suddenly played their hand that Puka Nacua was ready to play earlier than most had anticipated.
With both receivers suddenly available, the Vikings’ defensive game plan was blown up hours before the contest, allowing them to surge toward victory.
Les Snead Set The Stage For Los Angeles Rams
Looking forward, Les Snead’s team has the opportunity to buy at the NFL Trade Deadline should they wish. After Snead’s genius helped get the team back into the NFC West race, could he be cooking up another masterclass in the shadow of the trade deadline on Tuesday?
With the team facing the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the team has a remarkable opportunity to jump ahead of at least one team in the division.
That said, if the Cardinals lose, the Rams have a shot to jump ahead of the 49ers due to the tie-breaker and secure first place in the NFC West.
The Cardinals face Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears who are coming in angry after losing by a Hail Mary last week, so the Cardinals seemingly won’t be handed the game on a silver platter.
Can Matthew Stafford cash in on the momentum partially afforded to him by Snead?
