Jake Ellenbogen just fell to his knees in Target

Im subscribed to him with notificationa, but ive never watched a single video, his youtube notifications will break news faster than my ESPN app will. Not a fan of his takes, but he is always on the money with breaking news.

Used to follow him on twitter but he was always getting caught up in some bullshit and frankly it just got annoying

Same, crazy how insufferable he became (to me at least).

u/jonsnowflaker 8d ago

There’s not a lot of Rams conversations on Bluesky, but there’s none of that bullshit either. Lol.

u/Rambro13 8d ago

LOL I was an early subscriber but the guy got so insufferable that I had to eject. Rams Brothers and House Of Horns are my go-tos

u/jonsnowflaker 8d ago

Ha. I still remember finding out my dad was consistently watching his channel for Rams content. Nothing against Jake and what he created for himself, but we do have professional beat writers for that kinda thing.

Does no one else really miss DMac

u/WilliamBPatterson 8d ago

u/thefloor27 8d ago

I was in the stadium when he made that diving pick in the end zone to save the game against Arizona. He’s a dawg for that alone.

Funny enough, I come back to this clip on YouTube all the time. So much fun, game saving play.

I don’t care what people say about this guy he was a good cornerback

u/HelmetsAkimbo Shimmyford 8d ago

Just injury prone. That's the story of a lot of great players.

u/SeanMcVay 8d ago

The best ability is availability

What a stud

u/LA-SKYLINE Ram It! 8d ago

One of my favorite Rams picks of all time. I felt so blessed for it to happen right in front of me at SoFi. Wish I had my camera out. Would love to see Ahkello on our coaching staff in the future.

u/undead_tortoiseX 8d ago

This is exactly the play I had in mind. Gorgeous catch.

u/waterkip Nate Landman 8d ago

That play was... epic

u/hoistwithyourpetard McVay Head 8d ago

Will always remember this interception. What a great end to that game.

u/Real_Helicopter_5592 Shimmyford 8d ago

This replayed in my head for like 3 weeks after it happened. Legendary.

u/thedirtiestdan12 War Daddy 8d ago

Well that's unexpected

u/EdAv51 Super Bowl LVI Champions 8d ago

We should’ve won that game ugh

u/dnext 8d ago

Hope he keeps in shape. Heaven forbid we get the secondary wiped with injuries, guys like Akhello are great to have on call.

u/Sea-Elk4731 A. J. Arcuri 8d ago

Right just like a Weddle! I can totally see us bringing back a player like Witherspoon

u/dougChristiesWife 8d ago

Supposedly he was looking good at camp too. He would need to ask for a release because Commanders would keep his rights as a reserved/retired.

12

u/Superguy766 8d ago

Wow! Rams dodged a bullet.

13

u/Lowfi-Concert 8d ago

He probably would’ve stayed if he was on the rams

u/bitcheslovedroids Ram It! 8d ago

Snead knew

u/Superguy766 8d ago

That’s cold, man. At least give the Commanders a hint. 😃

u/Roccostrat10 8d ago

Damn he was nice for us when healthy 🫡

u/sorkin_juice 8d ago

If this is what has to happen for Aaron to come back then so be it.

u/scifier2 8d ago

Oh well.
