    With a touchdown pass to TE Tyler Higbee in the first quarter, QB Matthew Stafford (343) passed Fran Tarkenton (342) and moves to 11th-most all-time in NFL history.

    Gathering some stuff for this week’s column and found a tidbit – the Rams’ secondary was at the bottom of the NFL in weeks 1-10 with 29 PBUs. Over the last two games, they are No. 1 in PBUs with 17, and up to No. 18 overall. Jordan Fuller led team in those two games with four.

     Remember when Kyren Williams wasn’t explosive? He ranks 18th in the NFL this season in “breakaway percentage” at 29.1%. That’s just 1.3% less than CMC. Williams also is tied for 18th in Designed Rushing Attempts of more than 15 yards.

    Kyren Williams deserves a lot of credit…but let’s not forget about the Rams OL. This season, Williams ranks 1st in the NFL w/4.3 yards before contact per attempt. No other RB in the NFL is higher than 3.8. 473 of 599 of Williams’ yards this season have come before contact

    How dominant have Dotson and Havenstein been on the right side of the OL for the Rams? Kyren Williams had eight carries for 110 yards to the right averaging 13.75 yards per carry. Take away the 56 yard run and it’s still 7.7 yards per carry.

    Lost amid the performance from Kyren Williams was Royce Freeman. Finished with 77 yards which was a career-high. Back-to-back 70 yard games for the first time in his career. His 5.92 yards per carry (min. 10 att) also a career high. Little career resurgence for Freeman.

    There’s something going on with this.

    Yet none of the Rams other backs have those specific numbers. Leading the league in yards before contact.

    I wish I had the time and training to film study this, but—Williams apparently has the instincts, smarts, and vision to be going the right way very quickly. That might be his “superpower” (that and contact balance). I mean he’s fairly quick but not ultra quick, he’s not that fast (though he has a nice initial burst), he’s not that powerful, and he’s not that elusive. It just looks like his superpower is to hit the gap with his hair on fire, making the most of every play.

    ADDED BY EDIT: Watched every Wms run again. His game is manipulating LBs before he hits the hole. Very quick and sudden.

    Although they’re 5-6, Rams are a different offense with Kyren Williams and starting to get a little traction with consecutive wins.
    .
    Worth noting: In 17 of past 19 seasons — including the last five in a row — a team with a losing record after 11 games has reached the playoffs.

    Kyren Williams *still* has not run into a stacked box (8+ defenders) this season. He’s the only qualified running back with no runs vs. stacked boxes. A) Defenses aren’t fully respecting him yet B) McVay’s scheme is a thing of beauty

    In this one he talks about the Rams for the first 40 seconds.

    In this one he gets to the Rams at 5:28 in. Though it’s interruped by him doing an ad.

    Ahkello Witherspoon gave up 2 catches on 7 targets for 23 yards. 3 pass breakups. He was outstanding on Sunday.
    .
    Witherspoon is 3rd in reception percentage allowed only behind Martin Emerson and Joey Porter Jr.
    .
    #Rams defense forced 19 pressures yesterday. Aaron Donald led the way with 7 and Kobie Turner with 5

    Williams has no business being as good as he is. He tested pretty poorly, especially for his size, and while that’s never a guarantee of anything on Sundays, it should give you a rough guess at (relative) floors and ceilings.

    He’s just one of those guys that plays way faster than he tested, and has somehow overcome his lack size, length, etc. Look at his 10-yard split, for instance, not just his 40. Not much explosion, either. Mediocre vert and broad. But he just keeps producing big time.

    I just think his effectiveness comes from what he does behind the LOS to set up and then explode through the right gaps at the right nano-second. He has more than enough vision and lateral quickness to do that. None of that would show up in measurables, I would think. Then in the open field he has great contact balance and fierce “want it” energy. He’s not that big, powerful, fast, or elusive, but he has just enough of all those things so that wanting it bad works. Look at his highlights from the ARZ game.
