defense did their job.

offense looked terrible. maybe oline out of sync? run game i feel should be better than it is. again oline?

but yeah. squandered opportunities.

mine shows up when i post.

it’s the Invader Zim avatar. fourth from the top and fourth from the left.

Expanding on this thought a bit… here is the Rams current depth chart with each player’s draft info. Green is a Rams draftee or UDFA in 2022-24.  We have done quite well in these last three drafts. On offense, 36% of the starters and 64% of their backups, but on defense, a whopping 73% of our starters and 64% of their backups.  On special teams, its everyone—100%.

i would also add that dotson was originally acquired for a draft pick. and williams was originally acquired as a udfa.

this has probably been posted already.  but it’s cool to hear him talk football.  he really seems to study the game.

yeah, the drafting has been unbelievable.  i don’t know how mccollough or kinchens will turn out.  whether they can eventually develop into full time starters.  but they’re contributing.  omar speights is another guy i’m hoping can continue to develop.

and then getting guys like beaux limmer???  and now there’s a legit question if you take him out of the lineup with jackson and avila returning?  that’s crazy.

roberto clemente@rclemente2121 pff / week 9 centers: out of 31 qualifying centers, limmer ranked: #6 overall #4 pass pro #9 run blocking

what do you do when avila and jackson come back?

was this posted?

Matthew Stafford's arm angle is ridiculous on this no look pass or near no-look pass in the face of pressure

Johnson blocks, releases on over route and had DB been more aggressive he at least breaks this up, but Stafford's no-look legend grows.#RamsHouse pic.twitter.com/06Q1KMsaZq

wow. so maybe i wasn’t really paying attention the other games or maybe yesterday was just so obvious even i couldn’t miss it. but fiske looked so comfortable. like he’s finally starting to figure it out.

donald his first eight games had 3 sacks and 6 the rest of the way. turner had 1 sack his first eight games and 8 the rest of the way. i don’t about pressures.

fiske has 3 sacks through his first 8 games so i’ll be interested to see how he fares in the second half.

Braden Fiske leads all interior linemen in pressure rate at 14.2% (17th overall)

Jared Verse is 5th in the league at 18.3%

Byron Young is 21st at 13.4%

This is young d-line core is going to cause problems for years to come

Braden Fiske ranks amongst IDL the last two weeks (per PFF):

🔥9 pressures (3rd)
🔥2 sacks (2nd)
🔥15.6% pass rush win rate (10th)

He’s done all this on 50 pass rush snaps, which is only 25th most in that time frame. pic.twitter.com/NNDI70ebrG

someone correct me if i’m wrong but rookie sack leaders. verse and fiske are 1 and 2.

nfl rookie int leaders. mccollough number 1 and kinchens number 3.

and speights looked good today.

Geez, have you guyz watched the Jared Verse mic-d up vid. Quite the trash talker.   He dont like the Vikings. Somewhere Deacon is smiling.

it woulda been fun to see verse and donald playing together.

also did anyone see puka’s post game interview? fun stuff. he and verse give this team some personality. definitely fan favorites.

Wendell not only fields effective units, he finds the players too (OL coaches have huge input in who gets signed or drafted to the unit).

yeah. i wouldn’t necessarily say he makes something out of nothing. the rams and wendell are finding the right guys too.

just an amazing job he’s doing. i thought injuries would derail this team. and they have. but the rams might still be able to get out of this and make a run? i don’t know but if they do, significant credit will have to be given to wendell.

Don’t give him away, like they did Ernest Jones.

Bill Barnwell@billbarnwell

Odd one. Jones was available for a swap of Day 3 picks at the end of camp, but maybe Rams didn’t want to trade him in division. Seahawks basically paying more draft capital for that and for the Titans to eat the rest of Baker’s base salary (~$1.2m)?

…

me (@moi.com):

.

Titans traded a starter to a team that was trying to pry him away. Rams traded an injury recovering player everyone knew they were trying to unload. Titans proved Jones could still play, and Seattle pursued him. The 2 situations were just different.

.

Maybe the story here is that Seattle was willing to overpay.

yeah.  and don’t expect much for kupp.

i mean i’ll be disappointed if they trade him, but if they can save cap space, it might not be a bad idea. if no cap space can be saved, then keep him.

i know, but they haven’t extended him yet, so it makes me worried.

i thought turner was impressive. williams, whittington, kyren williams…

but some bad errors. kyren fumble. stafford interception. and the offense is too injured to overcome errors.

it’s gonna be a long season.
