Rams Offense Outlook Entering 2024
The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for the 2024 season following a challenging 2022. Key updates indicate a confident offense evolving with returning talent and new strategies aimed at improvement.
Quarterbacks
- Matthew Stafford returns, shaking off previous injuries and ready to lead. His historical performance highlights his significant passing yards and touchdowns.
- Jimmy Garoppolo is currently suspended for two games, leaving Stetson Bennett IV to step in as the backup for Stafford. Despite a rocky preseason debut, Bennett demonstrated steady improvement.
Running Backs
- Kyren Williams and Blake Corum are anticipated to share duties in the backfield, with Williams expected to start in Week 1. McVay aims to diversify Williams’ role, including him as a punt returner.
Wide Receivers
- The Rams possess a dynamic receiving core with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua leading the way. Kupp’s return from injury is significant; he has had a full offseason to prepare, enhancing his ability to contribute effectively alongside Nacua.
Tight Ends
- Colby Parkinson emerges as the primary tight end while Tyler Higbee recovers from surgery, showcasing versatility as a pass catcher during training.
Offensive Line
- Three presumed starters—Steve Avila, Kevin Dotson, and Jonah Jackson—will play factors in the early games, with Havenstein’s readiness being critical as the team heads into Week 1 against the Lions.
Special Teams
- K Joshua Karty, P Ethan Evans, and LS Alex Ward round out the special teams, with Karty being a key focus following previous struggles in the kicking game.
The Rams will need to work well together in 2024 to be successful. The team is feeling hopeful, but they are also making some changes to how they play and support each other as they start the season.
