    Listed in reverse order, Read from the Bottom Up

    Film: #Rams had a few gap breakdowns later in the game. Run D was fairly steady otherwise.

    Film: #Vikings more gap scheme runs as game progressed, often with pullers to the perimeter.

    #Vikings Film: Norv Turner doesn’t care about TE’s having to block DE’s in his scheme. Sometimes there’s a price to pay for that.

    Film: #Vikings did not move the ball effectively with Shaun Hill in at QB.

    Film: #Rams CB’s Jenkins, Joyner and Johnson are all aggressive at point of ball’s arrival.

    Film: surprised #Vikings don’t put Peterson on perimeter more. He’s effective there. Perhaps they don’t believe OL is athletic enough.

    #Vikings Film: when Peterson is 8 yds deep in backfield, it’s almost always a run.

    #Rams Film: Barron is much better as an attacker than a reactor. True in run and pass game.

    Film: #Vikings have a below avg interior OL. Fusco is mediocre, Berger and Harris are backups. Shows more in the run game than pass game.

    Film: #Rams have a much weaker pass rush without Quinn. Less diverse, too.

    #Rams Film: Laurinaitis stood out in run D. Quick to sniff out plays, Vikings interior OL could not get to him multiple times.

    #Rams #Vikings Film: Also on Johnson INT Bridgewater underthrew it and too far inside

    #Rams #Vikings Film: Trumaine Johnson INT on deep ball out of Cover 0 blitz. Beat Diggs at point of ball’s arrival.

    #Rams Film: Aaron Donald did not register first half stats but he was noisy.

    #Vikings Film: Bridgewater missed Wallace twice throwing on move. Both inaccurate balls had an impact.

    #Rams Film: Mark Barron struggled a bit vs. run when cast as a stacked LB. Perhaps to be expected given lack of experience there.

    Film: #Vikings featured straight downhill runs, often out of inside zone.

    #Vikings Fillm: Peterson great blend of body control and explosiveness. Allows for subtly in his initial movement, which can manipulate LBs.

    Film: #Rams continued to deploy a variety of pressure concepts. Some of them were somewhat slow developing.

    Film: #Vikings a lot of runs out of overloaded TE surfaces, including Peterson 6-yd TD sweep.

    Film: PA bootleg to Bridgewater’s right clearly part of #Vikings gameplan.

    “#Rams have a much weaker pass rush without Quinn. Less diverse, too.”

    Thats why i changed my pick from a three point ram win
    to a close ram loss. Quinn means that much, imho.
    He and Donald are critical to this D. If the O
    only has to account for one, then the DLine
    is blockable.

    What exactly IS Quinn’s injury, btw?
    Is it going to be a lingering thing?
    Is he going to be a hundred percent at some point
    this year? Its a big issue.

    Rams O vs. Vikes D

    Film: #Vikings shutdown #Rams WR screen game.

    #Vikings Film: Barr showed up positively a few times. A sturdy player with some explosive traits. Fits the scheme well.

    Film: 3rd-10 on MIN 34 down 18-15 #Rams ran Gurley on power-lead out of 2 RB, 2 TE set….Windy day, but still, tells you everything you need to know about what they think of Foles.

    #Rams Film: the vast majority of Austin’s end-arounds went to the right. Have to wonder why.

    #Rams Film: late in game #Vikings did a better job vs. Austin end-arounds after getting beat by four or five of them.

    Film: #Vikings CB’s Rhodes and Newman are very solid in run support. Zimmer’s CB’s in Cincy were good there, too.

    #Vikings Film: Joseph also flashed as a pass rusher. A truly dominant game. He’s been NFL’s 3rd best DT in 2015, behind Donald and Short.

    Film: Austin misdirection has become a major facet of #Rams offense. Hard to imagine what they’d be without it.

    Film: #Vikings kept Gurley bottled up. A disciplined run D.

    #Rams #Vikings Film: Austin burned Sendejo on deep post for would-be TD but Foles, moving off his spot, underthrew it, Austin dropped it.

    Film: #Rams used a lot of base slot formations out of “12” with dual LOS TE’s. Sets up run game surfaces and unbalances coverages.

    #Vikings Film: Sendejo flashed with up-tempo all-around play. One of the most improved safeties in NFL this year.

    cont….Rams this time faked the end around, that impacted LB Greenway and opened up the throwing window.

    #Rams Film: Kendricks 20 yds great example of building offense. Came one play after Austin 22 yd end around…..

    #Vikings Film: Greenway showed very good play recognition. Was sturdy between the tackles.

    #Vikings Film: Joseph stood out in run D. One of best lateral DL defenders in NFL.

    #Rams Film: Britt 55 yds PA deep post on post-crosser combo on 3rd-5. PA fake to RB and Austin on end around. Usually a 1st down play call.

    as good as the vikings run d was the rams did get 160 rushing yards on 35 carries or something like that for a 4.4 ypc average… with no run going over 20 yards. in a close game with no passing threat to speak of…

    yeah. running attack is legit. but a historically bad passing offense. sigh…
