the Los Angeles receiving core, despite the loss of Puka, looks great and produced. Everyone knew from last season that Robinson was a solid WR3, but former Buccaneers WR Tyler Johnson came out of now where for a big game against Detroit. New TE addition Colby Parkinson also made some clutch catches filling in for Tyler Higbee, and proved he could be trusted for an expanded role as well.
The Rams’ first-round draft pick racked up a sack, two hits and three hurries from 23 pass-rushing snaps in his first game, earning a 65.3 PFF pass-rushing grade in the process. He also set the edge well in the running game, earning a 73.5 run-defense grade.
Ernest Jones was the #Titans highest graded defender on Sunday by PFF with a score of 79.8. He led the team with 9 tackles officially, including 6 solo tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 5 run stops while playing every defensive snap.
week 1: the bills sacked murray 4 times, held him to 162 passing yards, strip/sacked him at his 21 leading to a bills td, and held the cards offense to 20 points. murray had a career day vs a very suspect rams defense.
The Rams’ rookie duo out of Florida State has performed well in their first two games. Braden Fiske (4 pressures) and Jared Verse (9 pressures) are the only rookie pass rushers with at least 8 total tackles and 1 pressure thus far.

Jared Verse is already the best player on the defense and a legitimately good player. When (if?) he learns to finish his pressures, he can leap from good/very good to great.
Good news for the #Rams: The suspensions for QB Jimmy Garoppolo and starting LT Alaric Jackson were officially lifted today by Commissioner Roger Goodell and they can rejoin the team. Both players were suspended for the first two games of the year.
Interesting note from Week 2: OLB Jared Verse became the fourth Rams rookie to record three tackles for loss in a game (Chris Long – 2008, Michael Brockers – 2012 and Aaron Donald – 2014), tied for the most by a Rams rookie in a single game. Pretty good company
