znModeratorBlaine Grisak @bgrisakTSTFor a second consecutive week, Ernest Jones was the Rams’ highest graded defender via PFF. He’s the best blitzing LB in the NFL. Led the Rams with 5 pressures. Also had a PBU. Big players show up in big time games. EJ showed up.znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTST
Puka Nacua with a career-high 92.5 PFF grade. Also had a 92.1 run-blocking grade.Had 4.69 yards per route ran. Led the Rams with a 14.5 average depth of target. Somehow, he just keeps getting better.

znModeratorWe seriously need to stop acting like Patrick Mahomes invented the side arm 3/4 arm slot throw . Stafford has been doing this since 2012 and any qb who played baseball past age 12 can do this https://t.co/ka72f7IFbz

znModeratori mean i know everyone knows the names. gurley, woods, goff, ramsey, etc… the more i think about it yeah. the rams totally would but would it even be possible cap wise?
If the Rams cut or traded Kupp this off-season which IMO they’re not going to do (that’s just an opinion):
Pre-June 1 cut: 47 M dead money, including a 0 savings & 17.2 M deficit
Post-June 1 cut: 29.7 dead money, 0 savings
Pre-June 1 trade: 27 M dead money, 2.7 M savings
Post-June 1 trade: 9.7 M dead money, 20 M savings
Remember Stafford was beat up last year, and many spoke of him as if it were the end, but look at him now. Kupp IMO just needs an off-season to straighten out. Again this is all opinion, but, they’re not going to find another WR who draws the attention he does, understands the offense at such a high level, all while also being a first-rate blocker. Even in a diminished role with shorter routes and less being asked of him, Kupp can be valuable.
When Gurley’s knee went full arthritic, he had less to offer as a player, and basically was nowhere near as useful anymore. Whatever is going on with Kupp, it’s not like that–it just takes away part of his game but he still has a lot of value.

The Rams lead the league in missed FGs but Sean McVay says today they won’t bring in yet another a new kicker. “There’s a lot of layers to it. We want to look at everything that makes our operation tighter.”
McVay also notes not having LS Alex Ward active has been significant.McVay also noted today that the level of inconsistency in that phase should lead to adjustments in how he calls and manages late-down situations.

So Kobie Turner and Byron Young are both playing better than Jalen Carter but neither will get DROY?Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueAfter the blocked punt, New Orleans got the ball back at the LA 35 and scored, then got the two-point. Crowd very displeased with the contact there as was sideline. Two weeks in a row, special teams errors keeps the other team in it late.znModeratorIn what was assumed to be a rebuilding year after shedding veterans and going incredibly young on defense, McVay, Stafford and defensive coordinator Raheem Morris have L.A. on the brink of the postseason. Right now, they’re clearly the club battling for a wild-card spot no division winner wants to face.
“That’s something that we’ve been trying to build here since the offseason. We have had such a young team this year, and I think we’re finally at the point where we go into games expecting to win,” tight end Tyler Higbee said. “We can close out games a little bit better, try not to make them as close when we got these teams on the ropes. Throw an uppercut and put them away, but again, it’s part of learning and we’ll learn from it and be better for it moving forward.”

The Rams’ Kobie Turner now leads all NFL rookies in sacks (6.5) this season, passing Byron Young of the Los Angeles Rams (6.0)Matthew Stafford has thrown multiple TD passes in 5 straight games for only the 3rd time in his 15-year NFL career. His record is 7 straight games.
“He makes it look effortless. You give him time back there, he’ll dot up any team in the league. He’s a one-of-a-kind player. The arm angles, the accuracy, just unbelievable.” -Rams S John Johnson on Matthew Stafford
Kyren Williams becomes only the second 1,000-yard rusher Matthew Stafford has played with in his 15 NFL seasons, joining Reggie Bush in Detroit.

28+ pts in 5 straight games for the @RamsNFL. Tied for the NFL’s longest active streaktechnically the longest now, but SF gets a chance to answer over the weekend
*4th straight game with a TD for DRob (career-best)
*5th straight game with multiple TD tosses for Stafford (longest run as a Ram, longest active streak in NFL)
*Ernest Jones with a sack in 3 straight games.

znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
The pre and at-snap movement is one thing, but it strikes me in run and pass how *much* of the field the Rams offense is getting to horizontally and vertically. The concept designs stretch a number of ways, but you’re also seeing some really technical sideline throws and catches.znModeratorSean McVay handed out 6 game balls before Matthew Stafford delivered a passionate, expletive-filled speech in the locker room to send the team home after a win

To Kyren Williams, the best part of a win like this and a shot at the postseason is “getting to play ball with my friends!” (Said with a massive grin). He added he’s been wanting to score in that end zone for a while so he could get the ball to his mom.J.B. Long@JB_Long
Kupp, Nacua, and Kyren have played 7 games together. Averages in those contests:
28.9 points per game & 6.2 yards/play.Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
When Matthew Stafford arrived in LA, the entire team conversation was about a Super Bowl.
This year, it has all been about steps of growth. One at a time. How has he stayed present with this group? “I’m taking them right there with them. Each team is – every year is a buildingprocess. Sometimes you do it different than other years. This year is different than all the other years I’ve played. But it’s fun to go to work with these guys. Fun to watch everyone come together, pull for each other, work hard. We push each other every day in practice and
then feel ultra-prepared when we come out on game day. Today was no different.”
znModeratorErnest Jones is healthy again and is playing elite football at inside linebacker right now. The third-year linebacker notched seven tackles, two tackles for loss, two pass breakups, and a sack in the crucial victory against the Saints. The Rams are asking Jones to be a leader on the defense and Raheem Morris is dialing up more blitzes for him down the stretch. Jones has career-best marks in tackles (132), tackles for loss (13), pass breakups (6), and sacks (4.5) with two games still to go.
