    Braden Fiske had quite the rookie season for the Rams on the DL. Was asked to fill Aaron Donald’s shoes and never shied away from that.

    Fiske finished with 51 pressures – 3 more than Kobie Turner as a rookie. Had a true pressure rate of 28.8 with 14 High Quality pressures.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2025/01/06/rams-emmanuel-forbes-stats-analysis-week-18/?taid=677e308c01c1d50001cfb052&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    It was a tough first assignment for Emmanuel Forbes, going up against a receiver trio of DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett, but he did a nice job holding his own on the outside.

    According to Pro Football Focus, Forbes allowed three catches on five targets, totaling 38 yards. One of those three receptions went for 22 yards on a deep dig to Metcalf where Forbes appeared to be in zone coverage. On the very next play, he was in coverage against Metcalf on a downfield ball toward the end zone and though Metcalf got a little bit of separation, the pass fell incomplete.

    The two other receptions he allowed were to tight end A.J. Barner, which went for 6 yards and 10 yards, both converting for first downs. So in terms of coverage against opposing receivers, Forbes only allowed one catch on three targets, all against Metcalf.

    As slender as he is – he’s listed at 6 feet, 180 pounds – Forbes looked like a willing tackler on Sunday. He didn’t shy away from contact and though he did miss one tackle, he wasn’t afraid to stick his nose in and make a stop.

    Rams rookie Jared Verse finished the season with a True Pressure Rate of 52.5. Only Chris Jones and Myles Garrett were higher. His 6.4 snaps per pressure led the NFL.

    Verse had 34 high quality pressures which also trailed just Garrett and Jones. His 13.2 snaps per high quality pressure ranked 7th.

    The PFT defensive rookie of the year is Rams LB Jared Verse. (Others who deserved a mention were Rams DE Braden Fiske, Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell, Eagles CB Cooper DeJean.)www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb…

    he just needs to start converting more of those pressures into sacks.

    Jared Verse being third in the entire league in high quality pressures behind only Myles Garrett and Chris Jones is pretty nuts.

    One of the most impressive rookie seasons for an edge I’ve seen in a long time.

    The 33rd Team@The33rdTeamFB
    Jared Verse finished the regular season with 77 pressures, 4th most in the league behind only Trey Hendrickson (83), Myles Garrett (83), and Jonathan Greenard (80)

    Verse is the only rookie since 2020 to generate 70+ pressures — the next closest was Micah Parsons with 67

    Ethan Evans has had a great second season

    You don’t take requests, but here’s one anyway–made respectfully & hopefully. After Karty’s game v. Seattle, & w/ Evans & Whittington coming through, & other things, is there a whole article on the journey from last year’s 32nd ranked special teams to this year’s unit?

    ‪Jourdan Rodrigue‬ ‪@jourdanrodrigue.bsky.social‬
    Hi yes! You know how much I appreciate (and/or criticize) special teams. Been gathering all year. Thank you for asking
