The Darious Williams revenge game

After the 2021 season, Darious Williams left the Rams for the Jaguars. Williams got his pay day and then had four interceptions in 2023. The Rams brought him back last season as a familiar face in the cornerback room. He started the season on the bench, but has played well over the last two weeks. Williams arguably had his best game of the season against his former team. While he had a penalty, he also had four pass breakups and was credited with one dropped interception. However, he probably could have had two interceptions. This was the type of performance that the Rams have needed out of their cornerback room.

The Rams’ offense has gotten a lot of praise for yesterday’s performance, but the defense was just as impactful, especially on late downs.

Jacksonville went a combined 5-for-21 on 3rd and 4th downs, which totaled an EPA of -15.4.

via Next Gen Stats: The Rams utilized 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs) on 38.7% of their offensive plays in Week 7, the highest usage rate by an offense in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016).

Asked Sean McVay postgame yesterday about activating the TEs and Davante Adams in the redzone as part of gameplan and what he liked about it.

As others have said, predicated in part by personnel availability for both sides (no Puka for LA, no Devin Lloyd for JAX). But McVay still thinks “this is an exciting thing for us to be able to build on.”

Kobie Turner has generated 25 pressures this season, the fourth-most among all defensive tackles. Leading up to last Sunday’s game, he had produced 50 career pressures vs double teams, 9 more than any other player since he entered the NFL in 2023, according to @NextGenStats. His 12.2% pressure rate in 2025 is a career-high.

Had a really great conversation with @The_Coach_A yesterday about the Rams’ defense for a story that will be out soon. [Me note: “coach A” is Cody Alexander, a well-regarded on-twitter analyst who posts vids breaking down defensive plays]

I wanted to share this quote he had about Chris Shula because it might not make it into the story. His schematic versatility and success have been impressive.

headed into week 8 the rams defense ranks #1 in fewest offensive tds allowed, and #2 in fewest offensive points allowed per game (despite playing the #1 ranked scoring offense belonging to the colts, who the rams held to just 20).
