Apropos of nothing: Between the Rams (a) needing to tackle better and (b) cover one of the most prolific TE duos in the league this Sunday … I’d be surprised if Taylor Rapp doesn’t play a more snaps on defense against the Eagles.

After missing last week vs Washington, both Eagles’ RB Miles Sanders and OT Lane Johnson are on track to play this week vs Los Angeles.

Asked by an LA media member to sum up the game between the Eagles and Washington, Eagles coach Doug Pederson deadpans on a conference call: “You didn’t miss anything.” 😂

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Ezekiel Elliott had to work in pass-pro quite a bit (somewhat unsuccessfully) to account for Aaron Donald. Pederson says his RBs need to start mentally preparing right now for the uniquely physical matchup they face when they have to “sacrifice the route” to get in Donald’s path.

“I can tell you it was clear and obvious on the field, of a hand into the opposing player,” referee Tony Corrente said in defending the call. “A full arm extension that created separation. In all situations that would be called. We’re not going to allow that at any time of the game.”

Rams DC Brandon Staley on holding Cowboys offense to 17 points:

“We’re encouraged, but far from satisfied.”

When Brandon Staley was asked about Jalen Ramsey’s performance in his first game in the new defense, Staley said Ramsey’s communication the entire game “was a real strength of his.”

Carson Wentz doesn’t hold back praise: ‘Aaron Donald is a monster’

“I expect us to tackle better,” Sean McVay says when asked about the Rams Week 1 performance, and how it could have been affected by a lack of preseason games.

Sosa K@QBsMVP
Fun fact from Week 1 per @PFF. Here’s how the Los Angeles Rams lined up.

11 personnel: 68.1% (9th)
12 personnel: 27.8% (6th)

SeattleRams@seattlerams_nfl
This was one of the biggest questions as we headed into the 2020 season. Would Sean McVay go back to 11, after his shift towards 12 down the stretch?

Young Gerald had 24 snaps, and Johnny Mundt just 10.

Time to ride Cooper Kupp again!

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Nice drop by Brandon Staley, on what Aaron Donald was able to do on Sunday (aside from all the stuff he always does), paraphrasing: I thought Aaron was also excellent against the run. Some of the things he did against the run helped us contain one of the best backs in the league.

Ezekiel Elliott had to work in pass-pro quite a bit (somewhat unsuccessfully) to account for Aaron Donald. Pederson says his RBs need to start mentally preparing right now for the uniquely physical matchup they face when they have to “sacrifice the route” to get in Donald’s path.

Watch Woods #17 in this one.

Rams Wednesday Injury Report:

• OL Andrew Whitworth (not injury related) – DNP

𝕋𝕠𝕞 – 𝕃𝔸 ℝ𝕒𝕞𝕤@TL_LARams
Jared Goff had the most passes tackled at the 1 yard line last year with 7, and had another on Sunday when Josh Reynolds was tackled at the 1 yard line. Malcolm Brown scored a rushing TD on the next play.
