tweets (Rams) … 11/16 thru 11/18

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Darious Williams caught as many passes from Russell Wilson yesterday as DK Metcalf did’

Leonard Floyd had as many sacks yesterday (3.0) as he had in all of 2019.

The Rams have played 9 games this season. Their kickers have missed at least one attempt (FG or PAT) in 8 of those games.

The Rams gave this first-time 37-year-old DC a subpar pass rush and the worst LB corps in football, and he returned a defense that ranks 1st in average yards per play allowed (@PFF) and has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the league.

Rich@rcoop21
Pretty clear sign Kupp’s wrist isn’t close to 100%. Reynolds and Woods played 80% of the offensive snaps. Kupp played 53%.

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
In the only other game where DK Metcalf was shut down, Tyler Lockett went off for 15 catches, 200 yards and 3 TDs. Yesterday against the Rams, Lockett was held to just 5/66/0

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Notes from the Rams’ snap counts Sunday:
-Reynolds > Kupp (banged up?)
-Lewis/Hollins are OLB2a and OLB2b
-Nick Scott played a lot
-Close split at RB
-Donald played much less than usual

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
I know I keep tweeting about Darious Williams but the Rams are *really* lucky he’s a restricted free agent. Makes it much easier to keep him in 2021.

These #’s may be adjusted, but yesterday was the first time Aaron Donald (8) didn’t lead the Rams in pressures. Leonard Floyd (11) had an absolutely dominant contest

Floyd is on pace for (@PFF):

51 pressures
12.5 sacks

Last year he had:

39 pressures
3 sacks

This signing is probably going to go down as one of the best from the past offseason. Also, this is the #AaronDonaldEffect at play.

D’Marco Farr@DMarcoFarr1
Finished watching Rams offense. First impression is McVay had em ready to play & called a great game. Good Goff is a quick release Goff. What can Ken Norton Jr say to a defense that did everything asked, played with tremendous effort but still gets gashed for almost 400 yards?

Don’t hate on Leonard Floyd. Unblocked sacks count when it’s against Russell Wilson. Same as a hitting a home run off knuckleballer. Troy Hill the blitzer? Like Dave Grohl as a frontman. Who knew! Darius Williams is like Roger Murtaugh to Jalen Ramsey’s Martin Riggs.

"Having that opportunity one day to have that jacket on as well, it's definitely an honor hearing that from you."@AaronDonald97 + @Michaelstrahan talk shop on AD's dominance, similarities in their games + more.

Sean McVay said it’s “a big point of emphasis” to get Akers and Jefferson more involved in the 2nd half of the season 👀

Cooper Kupp only played 53% of the snaps Sunday, but Sean McVay says that wasn’t due to injury – although “he’s been banged up”

Steve Wyche@wyche89
Learn his name: @RamsNFL CB Coach Aubrey Pleasant. Look at the talent he develops every year with his latest shining pupil being Darius Williams. 4 INT on the season including two Sunday v Seattle, the second being as good as it gets.

Los Angeles scored 17 points in the first half to take a 17-13 lead over Seattle into the break. It wasn’t a dominant first-half performance, but it was the Rams’ best offensive yardage output of the year. They put up 275 total yards of offense, which was their most in the first half this season

DOWNTOWN RAMS [DTR]@DowntownRams
PFF has the #Buccaneers and #Rams as the highest graded teams in the game. Those two square off on Monday Night Football.

Greg Auman@gregauman
Bucs QB Tom Brady is 43, and on Monday he will face a Rams team that has a head coach (Sean McVay, 34), defensive coordinator (Brandon Staley, 37) and offensive coordinator (Kevin O’Connell, 35) all at least five years younger than he is. This has to be a first, right?

Jared Goff must speed up his internal clock. That being said, Rams were in 31 personnel (3 TE, 1 RB) with a 2 Man route. That means that the Rams had 8 blockers against 7 rushers. No one should’ve touched Goffpic.twitter.com/8mqIevYAbs

The biggest problem wasn’t Mundt missing the initial block, but failing to get hands on Adams at all after that. Meant Goff stepping up in the pocket to avoid the rush didn’t matter.
