    Let’s look at some offensive tendencies…

    Play-Action % (dropbacks using PA)

    1. #Rams — 37.2%
    2. #Patriots — 36.8%
    3. #Titans — 34.2%
    4. #Bills — 31.8%
    5. #Ravens — 31.2%

    % of receiving yards “after” the catch

    1. #Washington — 62.2%
    2. #49ers — 56.6%
    3. #Steelers — 54.4%
    4. #Panthers — 53.1%
    5. #Rams — 53.0%

    Dropback % in Max-Protection (7 or more blockers).

    Think of play-action “shot plays” here — or two-man routes (Post-Cross concept, for example).

    1. #Rams — 20.6%
    2. #Patriots — 16.7%
    3. #Raiders — 14.7%
    4. #Browns — 14.5 %
    5. #Jets — 14.4 %

    DC Ken Norton Jr. on the Seahawks’ struggling defense, which has allowed the most passing yards through eight games in NFL history: “I don’t think any of us had thought at this point that we’d be playing like we are … The numbers aren’t nowhere (near) where we expect it to be. Some things are going well but a lot of things aren’t. But the guys are fighting. The guys care … They’re staying late. They’re trying to figure it out.”

    Seattle’s defense is on pace to shatter the NFL record for passing yards allowed in a single season.

    Jared Goff has never beaten the Seahawks when he throws the ball 40 times or more. What could possibly go wrong?

    Rams rookie safety Jordan Fuller is getting a little extra work in after practice today. The hope is he can go on Sunday and he wants to be as up-to-speed as possible.

    Tremayne Anchrum is getting extra work too; that’s pretty standard as I often see him putting that time in.

    Darrell Henderson (thigh/quad) and David Edwards won’t practice today, says Sean McVay, and Cooper Kupp (wrist) will be limited but he will likely play on Sunday.

    Brandon Staley won’t say whether Jalen Ramsey will stick with DK Metcalf in totality as they do like to move him around/may still assert a mix of coverages as usual; however he did add that such a matchup between 2 elite players is “what gets you excited about pro sports.”

    LB Natrez Patrick has been re-signed to the Rams practice squad, per a team spokesperson.

    Kevin Demoff admitted the Rams can’t keep JJ, Everett and Reynolds. He does hope, however, that they can “keep some of them”

    Faulk was insanely good. Having trouble thinking of another runner with his combination of great hands, speed (a legit 4.3) and ankle-breaking moves, aside from Sayers.

    He couldn’t run over defenders, but he could make ’em miss, and then he was gone.

    Weird that he never seemed to be all that effective in the playoffs.

    Robinson will make his debut with his new team, head coach Sean McVay confirmed this week….Robinson does a lot of things, and does them well. He’ll be a great addition to the Rams’ run-stop efforts, considering his size and width, meaning he’ll be able to sit down in a couple of gaps and either help stuff a rusher or close his lanes and divert him. He also can acquire multiple blockers, which helps the Rams’ pass rush because one of their biggest goals each week is to free up Aaron Donald from the constant double-teams he faces. Robinson is really versatile, so he can play all three downs if needed. I still expect a rotation up front, but I don’t think he changes their actual scheme. He might make it a few percentage points better as he gets his feet under him.

    By the way, Rams fans, Robinson isn’t the only player the team will get back this week. Rookie safety Jordan Fuller, who was enjoying a bit of a breakout season before suffering a shoulder injury in mid-October, will return on Sunday. I can see the Rams using extra-defensive-back packages that also feature Rapp, who played really well in Fuller’s absence, to help counter the Seahawks’ prolific receiving corps.

    McVay, unprompted, has brought up the team’s need to tighten up its special-teams efforts a couple of times this week, and it’s not hard to imagine why….one guy I believe they miss in coverage is Burgess. Remember Hekker’s MVPunter performance against Chicago? Burgess, before suffering his season-ending ankle injury, was everywhere and made a few special-teams stops.

    I really believe the Rams have the pieces to beat Seattle, but as I wrote this week, it seems it will come down to game plan and execution on the offensive side. The Rams have a big opportunity to put the wheels back on that side of the ball this week, especially against a pretty dilapidated Seahawks secondary, but they need to take care of the ball and counter pressure better than they have so far this season. I think the Rams’ defense will show up as it has the last couple of weeks, but then there’s Wilson. So let’s also understand that some points inevitably will be put up on Sunday. Considering all of this, plus McVay’s 4-2 record against Carroll … I’m calling it for the Rams, 37-34.

    Top-5 Fantasy WRs through Wk 9:
    1. Tyreek Hill – 175.2 PPR points
    2. Davante Adams – 168.5
    3. D.K. Metcalf – 167.8
    4. Stefon Diggs – 162.3
    5. Tyler Lockett – 156.5

    Stu Jackson@StuJRams
    Rams HC Sean McVay said OLB Terrell Lewis (shoulder) and Leonard Floyd (knee) will be questionable for Sunday’s game vs. Seahawks, but are expected to play.

    S Jordan Fuller remains on track to be activated to 53-man roster and play.

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    Jalen Ramsey said that DK Metcalf is an “undeniable talent” – but will he stick with him throughout Sunday’s game? “I’m sure I’ll guard him. I’m sure I’ll guard probably all of their receivers at some point in the game.”

    Jalen’s direct quote actually was, “I’m sure I’ll guard him. I’m sure I’ll guard probably all of their receivers at some point in the game.”

    Note: A CB can “shadow” a receiver while also having different assignments at certain points throughout a game. Headline seems misleading. https://twitter.com/Rotoworld_FB/status/1327336564003770368

    Jalen Ramsey says WR DK Metcalf has taken a huge step from last year and calls him an “undeniable talent.”

    Here’s something interesting: As Joe Noteboom has worked his way back healthy (he will be elevated this week), he has been taking some backup LT reps. I wonder whether team would like to sort of start fresh on a position switch there post-injury, and with Edwards playing well.

    Either way, it’s hard to switch back and forth so if they really believe they can invest in him, it’s time to find one spot and really get those reps in.

    On this point, McVay said Rams will continue to pick up swingman development for Noteboom and not necessarily just stick him at reserve LT/re-start his development there. Ultimately want a plug and play depth guy who can play on either side. So, moving away from full time LG.
