St Louis Rams – Performances of Note

Jared Cook, TE, +2.0

Breakdown: A case of what might have been for both Cook and the Rams here. This should have been a big gain to extend their lead before the half but it was turned into a penalty and the rest is history. Cook also converted the Rams’ first third down of the game with a 36 yard gain and delivered another solid run blocking display, a much improved area of his game in recent weeks.

Signature Stat: After his gains in the first half the 49ers were much tighter on Cook in the second half with four different defenders breaking up passes intended for him.

Greg Robinson, LG, +1.0

Breakdown: A first start for the No. 2 overall pick produced a solid if unspectacular outing, particularly as a run blocker. There were a couple of issues in pass protection particularly picking up stunts and blitzers but you certainly saw the raw power and potential of Robinson as a run blocker in this game.

Signature Stat: Robinson’s 76 snaps saw him set in pass protection 50 times compared to 26 run blocking snaps as the Rams chased the game in the second half.

William Hayes, DE, +4.1

Breakdown: Robert Quinn had two quiet games against the 49ers a year ago and repeated that display last night. It was left to William Hayes to pick up the slack and he did just that. Registering seven pressures (1 Ht, 6 Hu) on 27 pass rushes and also added a pair of stops against the run including a tackle for loss with 8:14 left in the third.

Signature Stat: Taking advantage of a favorable matchup against Jonathan Martin, Hayes registered more pressure last night than he had managed in his first four appearances this season (5 Hu).
