Just 3 EDGEs have a higher win % than Jared Verse this season (min. 35 rushes, per
@PFF):Aidan Hutchinson – 38.3%
Myles Garrett – 26.7%
Yaya Diaby – 23.8%
Jared Verse – 22.1%October 26, 2024 at 1:33 pm #152826wvParticipantChris Long had interesting comments bout Verse in one of Long’s vids. Kinda compared Verse to himself in that neither had that real good ‘bendy-ness’ around the corner, and so they both experienced that feeling of wiff-ing on the QB, etc.

Yeah when he was drafted we talked about how Verse doesn’t have Robert Quinn style “bendiness.” That means his comparison as an edge rusher is to guys like TJ Watt and Kevin Greene, who are more about motor and power and strength and hands. Verse does though have a great “rocket from hell” initial burst, and he’s fast too.
Verse compares favorably to Watts.
Comparing Watts first 7 games to Verse’s (both started from game 1 as rookies)
NAME…SACKS…TFL…QB hits
Watts … 4 … 6 … 6
Verse ….2.5 ..7 … 12

Shula is using Verse as a true OLB not simply as an edge. If he played edge fulltime his production would make him a lock for defensive ROY. But Shula is trying to develop him into a well rounded OLB not simply a pass rushing specialist. He’s doing the same with Young and it’s working. The OL doesn’t know if only one is rushing or if both are coming.
The bottom line is that the defense is aggressive and exciting to watch. They were beating up a decent OL of the Vikings. Their contain of the qb was better than earlier games as well, which doesn’t bode well for Purdy and Murray.
The Ram pass defense is ranked 18th in the NFL and improving. It’s their early season issues with the run that drags the total defense ranking down to 22nd. I think by the end of the season the defense will be ranked in the top half of the NFL.

4. EDGE Jared Verse, Los Angeles Rams
PFF Grade: 82.8
Verse had been threatening to have the breakout game he had on Thursday Night Football but hadn’t been able to consistently finish to increase his sack total. The win over the Vikings saw him avoid missing any tackles for only the third time in seven games, and he has now registered three sacks, 10 quarterback hits and 19 hurries.

Sean McVay says team gave permission for Tre White and his agent to explore a trade and they’ve all talked about it. McVay said he’d be happy if White did stay, reiterating how well he has carried himself even when inactive – but understands if he wants to go compete. Rams willcontinue with the cornerbacks rotation they have deployed the last few weeks.
