    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/lists/rams-giants-report-card-week-17-grades-positions/?taid=659481aee543560001774dc6&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    The Rams only allowed four pressures in the [Giants] game but Stafford was taken down for a sack four times. The O-line was only credited with one of those sacks allowed because most came on blitzes, but the communication up front needs to be better.

    Ernest Jones has the most tackles in a single season in franchise history. He has 145 tackles this year, and that’s with missing one game. James Laurinaitis previously held the record of 142, which he reached twice

    Incredible bit of NFL Research: @RamsNFL RB @Kyrenwilliams23 is on pace to be the only player in history to miss 4+ games & still finish in the top 2 in rushing yards.

    The only player to miss more games & finish top 3 was Bull Karcis (5) with the 1937 Pittsburgh… PIRATES.

    NFL Players Association asked its players to vote on the league’s top-rated offensive, defensive, and special teams coordinators. Here are the results of the vote at the three coordinator spots:

    After Sean McVay told Kyren Williams he was going to be resting/sitting against the 49ers, Williams said his first question was: “Am I still going to practice?” “Because, I still want to practice. Like, I don’t want to just sit down and just watch everybody.”

    Olsen was in 14 consecutive pro bowls, from 1962 to 1975. Joe Greene was in 11, 1969-1970.

    well i meant making the pro bowl in each of his first 10 seasons.  so i think it is merlin olsen.  joe greene made it his first eight seasons and then missed out in 1977 – his ninth season.

    Not that’s a big deal at all but we both read it wrong IR! We missed on “since 1970” which apparently means drafted since 1970. This tweet is a little more clear:

    Los Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR
    DT Aaron Donald was selected to his 10th career Pro Bowl and is the only defensive lineman since 1970 to make the Pro Bowl in each of his first 10 seasons. He joins Pro Football Hall of Famers Reggie White (13) and Bruce Smith (11) as the only defensive linemen since 1970 with 10 Pro Bowl selections

    ok. my question still stands though. who was the last player before donald to make the pro bowl in each of their first ten seasons?

    Haven’t looked this up online, at least not in several years:

    All-Pro is different than Pro Bowl, and the former is the greater honor, if memory serves. Ten in a row for All-Pro is/was incredibly rare, in any era. Also just winging it, but I’d bet any player who gets to ten (total) gets to the HOF, too. Automatic, basically. Guessing they don’t even need ten. Five or more gives them a good shot.

    I don’t know the last player who did but the last 2 DL who did were White and Smith (last year for both was 98).

    There ya go Zooey. The “to start career” detail helps.

    Here is the link to the source.

    Reggie White didn’t make it his first season. He made it 13 straight times beginning his 2nd season.

    From the Pro Football Hall of Fame site:

    White, who spent two seasons in the ill-fated United States Football League, made a memorable debut in the National Football League with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4 of the 1985 season. He collected 2.5 sacks, and deflected a pass that was intercepted and returned for touchdown. Despite the fact he played in only 13 games that season, White tied for the team lead with 13 sacks and was named the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year. The following season, White picked up 18 more sacks to earn his first of an astounding 13 straight Pro Bowl trips.

    Bruce Smith was drafted in 1985. He went to the Pro Bowl every season from 1987-1998, with the exception of 1991 when he played only 5 games due to injuries.

    So Aaron Donald is behind only Merlin Olsen, and owns Smith and White.

    Yeah I was missing on the “first seasons” detail.

    Merlin was the man. A true gentle giant. But I’m really surprised that Lou Creekmur isn’t at the top of the list. I mean, who has ever been more revered in the history of the NFL than Lou “Muddy” Creekmur?

    the rams are the only team in 2023 w/o a non-offense td – if they don’t get one @ sfo it will mark only the 3rd time in their history (86 years) that they’ve gone w/o one. the most non-offensive tds they’ve scored in a season is 11 (1999 & 1952). saving them for the playoffs?
    .

    rams non-offensive tds rankings:

    I am not good at evaluating college players nor do I spend enough time doing it to be an expert. Been wrong on some high picks. Did like stroud. stubborn Darrell Taylor take is finally paying off. first on the AD99 hype train but I had good seats.
