#Rams Film: In isolation, Gurley doesn’t look like a GREAT runner. But compare him to the bodies around him and you see that he is. Subtle.

#Rams Film: a ton of deceptiveness to Gurley. Deceptive speed, strength, wiggle, acceleration.

#Rams Film: Austin 21 yd run interesting end-around out of tight trips, with TE Cook pulling as a lead-blocker. Great use of personnel.

#Browns Film: Dansby flashed very good play recognition.

#Rams #Browns Film: Britt 41 yds was fly route, beat the bump and run of Desir. Safety was to other hash, his help was irrelevant.

#Browns #Rams Film: Starks sack he quickly beat RG Brown to outside.

#Rams Film: Gurley 48 yds unbelievable job of getting skinny through the hole. Dansby had the run stuffed for no gain, Gurley adjusted.

#Rams Film: Gurley a subtle sense for setting up blocks in confined areas.

#Rams Film: Cook has too many negative plays. A failed block or a fumble or a drop. An inconsistent player.

#Browns Film: CB Desir did solid job in run support on perimeter.

#Rams #Browns Film: Gurley 14 yds was “90 flip”, DE Orchard lost contain.

Film: #Browns problem is they simply don’t have enough talent at skill positions…Because of 2 exciting wins (Titans WK 2, Ravens WK 5) that has been a little lost on people.

Film: overall #Browns pass pro held up decently against #Rams rush, particularly straight four-man rushes.

Film: no meaningful snaps where #Rams played man coverage. All zone. Function of their style and game situations. Lot of 3rd-longs

Film: Penalties (many of them product of good #Rams play) put #Browns in a lot of 3rd-long situations, where they struggled.

#Browns #Rams Film: should be noted there were also instances where Thomas also did an outstanding job vs. Quinn.

#Rams Film: McLeod one of more violent hitting safeties in the game. Isn’t thought of in those terms.

#Browns Film: LT Thomas has had another good season, but this wasn’t his best game. Some penalties, struggled a bit with #Rams athletes.

#Browns Film: Next play McCown looked snake bit and checked-down outside when he had Hartline breaking across middle of Cover 2 void late.)

#Rams #Browns Film: Jenkins dropped INT from straight Cover 2 on a really bad McCown read.

#Browns Film: Barnidge 28 yds was same LOS TE out-n-up concept as his 27-yarder. This time vs. Cover 2, not Cover 3, which also works.

Film: #Rams more single-high concepts after halftime. Why?

#Browns Film: Barnidge 27 yds was LOS TE out-n-up down seam vs. Cover 3. The underneath LB passes him off on the “out”, so no one carries.

cont…Rams front four and pressure designs worked and their back 7 was too athletic for Browns pass game. Run game an afterthought.

#Rams #Browns Film: this game was classic illustration of one team just being better than the other…..

Film: #Rams don’t just disguise, they ask their disguisers to cover a ton of ground in doing so. Gregg Williams influence.

Film: #Rams do a ton with coverage disguises. A lot of them went to Cover 2 stuff (they weren’t worried about #Browns run game).

#Rams Film: You can’t do runs that don’t get immediate contact on Donald. O-lineman across from him can’t leave to pull. Donald too quick.

#Browns #Rams Film: Benjamin 21 yds was good route to beat the man coverage of Trumaine Johnson.

#Rams Film: Donald continued to flash. Quickness, speed, power. He’s easily the best all-around DT in the NFL.

Film: When Rams D disguised, which was more as game progressed, it was often to Cover 2 concepts, including inverted Cover 2’s.

#Rams Film: CB Jenkins played well. Recognized in-breaking routes and adjusted on plays that called for it.

Film: #Rams great variety of pressure concepts, often involving disguised second-level blitzers. Gave #Browns problems.

Film: #Rams foundation was split safety zone. Mostly Quarters off of it.

#Browns Film Hayes sack-fumble excellent move to beat RT Schwartz around edge. #Rams double-A w/ Donald and Laurinaitis, 1 on 1 across board

Film: #Rams defensive base was big nickel; Barron played all 75 snaps.[/quote]
