This week in Rams talk

The shows have been parsing the Rams' preparation for their Australia opener against the 49ers, with particular focus on Sean McVay's controversial decision to fly in the day of the game rather than acclimate early like San Francisco. Aaron Donald's absence for the matchup came up repeatedly, and there's been a lot of talk about the Rams' depth and coaching as reasons to pick them for big things this season, though some hosts see potential collapse in the NFC West.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

12 clips · 64 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Aaron Donald, Nick Bosa, Christian McCaffrey, Alaric Jackson, Puka Nacua, George Kittle, Mike Evans, Matthew Stafford.
