We continue our look around the NFC West with the Los Angeles Rams. What is new with the Rams?
Here are the stories from the last week that Arizona Cardinals fans should know about.
Cooper Kupp changes number
Kupp, whose father was a Cardinals quarterback long ago, changed his number from 18 to 10. He explained why. Cardinals fans will have to look for a different jersey to find Kupp on the field this coming year.
Leonard Floyd hopes to help Rams D dominate
The Rams had changes to their outside linebacker room. Dante Fowler left and they replaced him with former Chicago Bear Leonard Floyd. Floyd, in addition to rushing the passer, he adds some ability to drop into coverage. He believes his versatility will help the Rams defense be very good.
Trick plays for rookie RB?
For several years, Cardinals fans could count on a very tough matchup in the running game because of Todd Gurley. Gurley was released and he has been replaced with rookie running back Cam Akers. This adds a wrinkle to the offense that wasn’t there for Gurley. Rams coach Sean McVay plans on some trick plays with Akers, who used to be a quarterback. That will make things interesting.
New unis for the Rams
While Cardinals fans would like to see their team adopt new uniforms, the Rams did it. They released new uniforms, although they have been criticized for the new design.
