Rams are 4-2 vs. Saints under Sean McVay
Dating back to 2017, the Rams have faced the Saints six times, including that unforgettable (and controversial) NFC Championship Game in the 2018 playoffs. The Rams are 4-2 in those contests, winning three of their last four against New Orleans. They took down the Saints at home last year, 30-22, behind an offensive output of 458 yards.

Interesting look — Jared Verse on the shoulder of the center…Rams in a dime defense — but McCullough the LBer
I posted the clip of the snap — he pushed the center back … he’s going to be as strong as most OLmen — and he knows how to generate power

DE Kobie Turner (@TurnerKobie) recorded five-or-more tackles for the fifth-consecutive game against Philadelphia, the longest-active streak among interior defensive linemen. His streak of five games is tied for the second-longest streak by an interior defensive linemen in franchise history (Ryan Pickett Week 12-16 of 2005).November 30, 2024 at 10:53 am in reply to: Rams injuries & roster stuff, for week 13/game 12 #153564znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue

Saints running game can gash youRams weakness is stopping runs and tought runners make it worse — Kamara and Hill are really hard runners
Saints have had 4 games of 180 or more yards rushing this year — but the Chiefs D did stop them

Sean McVay said Alaric Jackson did participate in the closed walkthrough today and he expects him to play Sunday.znModeratorI dunno how they come back after a game like that Eagle game. I mean that was just an outright Alice’s Restaurant Massacre. A physical humiliation. A beat-down.
I got the impression that as the Eagles game wore on and the D was getting challenged physically, they began to “press”–get undisciplined trying to make plays. If you listen to the analysis from Rodrigue and others, they made mistakes and abandoned their gap discipline, which of course made things worse. Or, I guess, even worse. It was a regression because since the bye they had been tighter when it comes to that.
We’ll see how much they learned from that and if learning from it can improve them this year. But you can learn from that. IMO? No one who is competitive enough to play in the NFL just “quits” because of a loss.
Heck the 2021 Rams suffered an embarassing 31-10 loss against the 9ers in week 10, allowing 156 yards rushing while getting just 52 on their side, and throwing 2 INTs including a pick 6. That Rams team as you know won the super bowl. So they came back from that game. I doubt the super bowl is on the horizon this year but they can learn from a bad loss and come back better.
..znModeratorI got the Rams winning this one by about 45 points, and I hope I don’t have to face all the accusations against me as a pessimist again. So fatiguing.
Alaric Jackson might be out. Havenstein might not be ready. Some are saying the LOT could be Noteboom.
If the Rams don’t draft a tackle high this draft, I will personally banish them from the planet.

Tyler Higbee is back at practice and got some individual reps with Stetson Bennett, who has picked up any and all extra arm work during practice and before games for Rams this year while Stafford and backup Jimmy G work with the first team and scout team, respectively.znModeratorDid he practice without one?
I think Jourdan is saying Jackson injured his foot in order to practice.

Sean McVay said that the team won’t suspend Demarcus Robinson this week. Legal process + league process will still unfold. Robinson addressed the team in meetings.

Rams kicker Joshua Karty has missed 5 FGs this season. Notice a trend with these kicks? Three of them came from the left hash. Context for his misses:– One bad hold (@ CHI)
– One bad miss (vs. LVR)
– THREE misses from the left hash (vs. MIA, @ NE, vs. PHI)znModeratorSeattle pressured Kyler Murray on 43% (!) of dropbacks without cranking up the blitz. Talked on the pod about how they did it, and one of the best performances by a D-linemen I’ve seen all year. 🎧: tinyurl.com/457puezn 📺: youtu.be/awFC12bgUfI?…

Kyren Williams ranks second in rushing attempts leading to a 1st down. Only behind Derek Henry and leading Saquon Barkley.While Kyren Williams does indeed have a fumble problem, he’s still very productive ranking 6th amongst RBs in rushing yards for the season and 8th in TDs.

Same play but left edge Verse gets his head outside on tackle trapping him , uses strength to get off #68
Fiske penetrates.
So, if htey can do it on only play, they should be able to do it most plays. No one expects perfection but when they lost gap assigmnets it cost them pic.twitter.com/5YQs5Z6GLz

WR Cooper Kupp (@CooperKupp) is one of four players with one or fewer drops on 75-or-more targets this season (Amon-Ra St. Brown, Trey McBride and Jakobi Meyers).znModeratorJim Youngblood 53@53_jim70721
Eagles gained 120 yards rushing against stacked boxes
about the same against light boxesdisaster
First and foremost, not having Donald is huge.
In my opinion it’s mostly mistakes. On some plays one error by one guy can be a disaster.
All I really know is they are *trying* to stop the run but using heavier boxes, i.e. having a safety in the box, but there have been mistakes
znModeratorThought this was a great play-call by McVay. Double motion, play-action, selling the look of an outside zone run. DL and LB’s flow with it.
Puka releases underneath to the opposite side. Easy explosive. Quick passes/misdirection negate pressure and take stress off the OL. pic.twitter.com/pnwFdEBfPS

Sean McVay: “I do believe that Demarcus [Robinson] has a good heart and never would have any ill intentions. And clearly there was a decision that’s not in alignment with the things that we want to be about. I know he was remorseful about that.”“I don’t think this makes him a horrible human. I think he made a bad decision and I think we are fortunate that there … wasn’t anything else that occurred as it relates to affecting anybody else in a negative way or himself from just an overall safety and health perspective.”
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Sean McVay says the Rams are in the process of gathering information about Demarcus Robinson’s arrest and release on suspicion of driving under the influence on Monday. He has not made a decision about Robinson’s status but expects to over the next day or so.znModeratorWhat was so disappointing in yesterday’s game is how many players who had flashed good stuff before just got flat beat yesterday.
That includes
Speights
Verse
Jackson
Avila
WilliamsPlus they basically shut down Kupp.
Yet in the middle of that, Stafford battled on.
Even though he was sacked 5 times he was 21 of 37 for 243 yards with 2 TDs and a 92.4 qb rating.
Though…they were 0-8 on 3rd down.

They were overmatched player to player, but the counters and adjustments + the relatively simple yet very effective way the pressure was schemed is a trademark of the battle within the battle here and McVay knows it. They were totally throttled by a couple adjustments after one promising drive. Rich history here as you know that I personally don’t feel is overplayed in knowing the characters involved, but obviously [it was] a pure ass kicking by simply a better, more physical team.
Protection issues were absolutely critical!
I’m not saying the DC and the DC alone was the game changer I’m just pointing out a very mentally significant layer to this that adds to the sting of an ass kicking and hopefully [a reminder] that you can do whatever to try to beat the top teams schematically but if you can’t protect QB or stop the run you have nothing.
