• Rams’ rookie Jared Verse finds redemption in win-sealing play

  02-12-2024 04:14 via ocregister.com
  
  NEW ORLEANS — As the New Orleans Saints lined up for 4th-and-3 from the Rams 9 with 1:13 to play, Jared Verse knew from the offensive tackle’s stance that it would be a pass play. So the rookie outside linebacker moved out wide to give him more space to operate. He expected a chip from the tight end lined up across from him, only to discover Foster Moreau was trying to block him one-on-one.
  “The No. 1 rule of playing any type of edge is you can’t be blocked by a tight end

  NEW ORLEANS — The first half of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints went about as poorly as the Rams offense could have imagined. The unit ran three plays in the first quarter, turned the ball over on downs at the Saints 25 in the second and squandered a promising, ground-based drive with three ill-advised dropbacks.
  That all amounted to the Rams’ first scoreless first half since Super Bowl LIII, only Bill Belichick and the Patriots weren’t on the opposing sideli

• Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh blames himself for botched fake punt against the Falcons

  ATLANTA — Jim Harbaugh called himself out for a poor coaching decision Sunday.
  Harbaugh could laugh about it later, after the Chargers defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 17-13, and improved their record to 8-4. But, in the moment, after a faked punt resulted in a pass from punter JK Scott to tight end Stone Smartt that came up a yard short, it was a cringe-worthy decision.
  The Chargers haven’t gambled often this season, rarely going for it on fourth downs unless they were near the end zon

  LOS ANGELES — The onslaught began early, and began ruthless, and there would be no mercy on these Trojans on their home turf.
  Notre Dame’s offensive line, D’Anton Lynn knew, was good. Probably the best that USC would play all year. But Lynn’s defense looked unprepared, from kickoff Saturday afternoon, for simply how good: on the Fighting Irish’s first play from scrimmage, running back Jeremiyah Love took a handoff and plunged unchallenged right up the gut, no Trojan

  Last week, we discussed indicators of a late-life crisis in retirement and the importance of feeling relevant. This week we address the importance of purpose and passion in preventing such a crisis. 
  Many of our roles have been defined by work, school and perhaps by family. Retirement typically doesn’t offer a prescribed role or even a set of expectations. Sociologists have referred to this as having a “roleless role.” For some, this is a gift, an opportunity. Yet, for oth
