znModeratorAaron Wilson@AaronWilson_NFL#Buccaneers completed interview with #Rams passing game coordinator Jake Peetz for offensive coordinator jobFebruary 1, 2024 at 12:21 pm in reply to: watching/reacting to/thoughts on: the conference games #149152znModeratorBreer says Spags clogged all of Lamar’s running lanes with a kindof fake blitz-ish-ness. They dared Lamar to beat them in the air. And he couldnt do it.
They were run blitzing and daring Baltimore to pass. The thing about a run blitz of course is that if you pass instead then it’s a pass blitz.
I said something somewhere about the Spags defensive system. It’s taken from the system Reid’s DC ran with the Eagles way back when. Among other things, it builds in really smart blitz packages.
I originally read up on all this when the Rams hired Spags. But we never really saw the Spags defense with the Rams because by the time he had built what he wanted in 2011, a massive injury epidemic wiped that defense out. He was forced to start corners they signed off the street during the season. I once asked Demoff in a chat session if the injuries were so extensive in 2011 that they just started to think it was funny every time someone new got injured. He basically said yes, in its own dark way it got so preposterous it was actually kind of funny. In the history of Rams massive injury epidemics it ranks 2nd to 2022.
So I researched the Spags defense for nothing. It never went anywhere with the Rams.
Here I am, then, 14 years later, able to make some comments on the Spags defense in a KC/SF super bowl.
IMO? That defense will be what wins the game and allows Mahomes to outscore SF.

znModeratorByron Young looks to be one of the leagues ascending Edge Rushers!
In year 1 he tallied 61 tackles and 8 sacks. Numbers as good as any rookie pass rusher in franchise history. Young showed elite closing speed and a nonstop motor!
I would bet 10+ sack totals in year 2 for #0 pic.twitter.com/WuobAhaQtF

znModeratorWell, that was startling. Astonishing foot speed by AD
Enh. I think AD is a product of Morris’s scheme. And Phillips’s scheme too, before that. And Williams’s scheme before that. I think that as elite defensive tackles go, AD is just a game manager type.

znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTST Raheem Morrishas officially taken with him both Zac Robinson and Jimmy Lake from the Rams’ staff to Atlanta
Assistant head coach – Jimmy Lake
We didn’t hear much about Lake. He was with Morris in 2010-11 as a DB coach at Tampa. Lake was the head coach of Washington from 2020-21 until he was fired for pushing one of his own players to break up an alteraction on the sideline. He was out of football in 2022 and apparently at Morris’s behest the Rams brought him on in 2023. So now he’s Morris’s DC in Atlanta.

That was a screwed up game. Lions shoulda had it.
But what happened today was, both of the more “playoff veteran” teams won it.
