    Here’s where the Rams officially rank right now on some defensive stats after 7 games:

    Points: 23rd
    Yards: 22nd
    Net Yrds Attempt-pass: 29th
    Yrds Attempt-run: 17th
    Sacks: 25th

    If you look at just the 2 games after the bye and calculate accordingly to match other teams’ stats for the whole season so far, where would they stand?

    Points: 6th
    Yards: 8th
    Net Yrds Attempt-pass:18th
    Yrds Attempt-run: 3rd
    Sacks: 17th

    Now of course that’s not definitive in any way, but just taken roughly and broadly, it indicates improvement

    2 games is not a lot to judge by, but just like last year it seems the Rams stepped up after their bye.

    Here’s an example.

    Before the bye, their pressure allowed rate averaged out to 29.1%.

    After the bye, it’s 10.05%.

    There’s a lot of factors in that.

    * stabilizing the OL, including replacing Bruss with Dedich

    * getting Kupp and Nacua back

    * defensive improvement, which obviously helps the offense

    * the Rams just have a knack for self-scouting and adjusting at the bye…it’s a McVay thing.

    After 4 weeks, the Rams ranked 31st in the NFL in defensive EPA per game. Since, they’re 8th. Yes, LA was a Top 10 defense in October. A lot has changed on that side of the ball, but the inflection point directly coincides with the return of Darious Williams
