    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2025/09/19/matthew-stafford-is-getting-pressured-more-on-this-side-of-the-ol/86240980007/?taid=68cdc45bccfd1a00015caa01&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

    Stafford is the 16th-highest pressured quarterback with a 19.7% pressure rate that ranks slightly above league average with just four sacks taken. However, Stafford does rank tied for sixth in quarterback hits taken (eight).

    Where does this pressure come from? The right side of the Rams’ offensive line is mostly to blame. According to Football Insights, the Rams’ right guard and right tackle have each been “at least partially responsible” for…57.2% of his total pressures. The left side, meanwhile, is responsible for just 33.3% total. Center Coleman Shelton is at just 9.5%.

    This shouldn’t be a huge shock, as the guard spot has been in a state of flux this year between injuries to Kevin Dotson and Steve Avila. The bigger issue is right tackle, as this means Rob Havenstein is showing signs of decline at 33 years old. He’s also coming off offseason surgery and is battling his own ankle injury.

    Matthew Stafford has been under center 65% of snaps so far this season — with the league average being 30%.

    This new emphasis on the drop back game has been highly effective. The drop variations, PA, the run game all married.

    Brett Kollmann@BrettKollmann
    Benefit to straight dropbacks from under center rather than the gun is you can actually attack down the field in rhythm from the top of the drop and still only be 9 yards deep in the pocket.

    Drops from the gun can get out of hand fast on longer developing concepts and some quarterbacks get too deep too quickly, which then screws up the angles for pass pro.

    That’s a big reason why you see so many little bullshit play action fakes from the gun on longer developing concepts. It’s not to suck up linebackers – those fakes don’t even work.

    It’s a timing thing to hold the quarterback there so they don’t drop too deep too fast.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2025/09/19/jared-verse-wont-cross-a-certain-line-with-trash-talk-during-games/86246833007/?taid=68cdb6ac29ffb20001ad1635&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Jared Verse didn’t deny he deploys these tactics either, with a catch. While he noted he “always get disrespectful towards the person individually,” the second-year star added that his trash talk will never extend past the boundaries of the football field.

    “I don’t talk about anybody’s relationships, anybody’s family. I don’t talk about anybody’s kids or anything like that,” Verse said this week. “That’s a whole separate thing that you never get into. I’ll get loud and in your face. I’ll be like, ‘You’re this cuss word, you’re that profanity.’ I’ll say a lot of stuff like, ‘You suck,’ or you’re all this stuff, like all disrespectful stuff towards you, but I’ll never bring anybody else into it.”

    “There’s a certain line you don’t cross,” he added. “You just don’t get that disrespectful because at that point it’s like, what are you even thinking you’re doing? That’s just too much. I’m going to get disrespectful. I’m going to get in your face. I’m going to get loud. I’m going to throw you off your game, but I’m not going to talk about anything outside of football.”
