As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our extremely in-depth Team Reports and our quick-hitting Team Mood and Players We're In and Out On, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't have a good return on that investment).

LA Rams, Team Mood

• Good - 12
• Neutral - 2
• Bad - 0

Staffers in a Good Mood on

• Jason Wood: Super Bowl champs return all the key offensive pieces, plus an upgrade at the No. 2 receiver position.
• James Brimacombe: Defending Super Bowl Champions. Not much more to say on why they are good.
• Craig Lakins: The defending Super Bowl champs boast a sharp-minded head coach, a franchise quarterback, and weapons at all skill positions.
• Andy Hicks: The offense has depth at all positions and quality play-calling and execution.
• Phil Alexander: Last year's top-six scoring offense may have improved with the addition of Allen Robinson.
• Sam Wagman: The Super Bowl champs are returning many key pieces of their roster and got better in a couple spots.
• Jordan McNamara: Defending champions, with a coaching staff and front office committed to keeping their championship window open.
• Jeff Bell: Sean McVay’s scheme led to a record season from Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford’s best season in a decade.
• Ben Cummins: Super Bowl champs return one of the best offenses in football.
• Chad Parsons: In Sean McVay I trust.
• Christian Williams: Getting Cam Akers back to full health and adding Allen Robinson should keep this offense dynamic.
• Kevin Coleman: The defending Super Bowl champs added Allen Robinson to the fifth-ranked passing offense in 2021.

Staffers in a Neutral Mood

• Dave Kluge: They lost Andrew Whitworth and Robert Woods. Allen Robinson makes for a great replacement at the WR2 spot, but Whitworth is tough to replace.
• Ryan Weisse: Can it get much better than defending champion? Everybody is a year older, but it should be a similar offense to 2021.

Staffers in a Bad Mood

• None.
