znModeratorArizona public school parents warned of the voucher scheme back in 2018.
Last year, that same voucher scheme blew a 900M hole in the state budget. Vouchers fail taxpayers in every state because they are designed to funnel your money to private hands. https://t.co/iOyNIUs0uX

Ravens – 80.0%
Dolphins – 77.8%
Colts – 72.7%
Packers – 69.2%
Chargers – 68.8%Teams with the lowest…
Steelers – 40.0%
Titans – 38.5%

…
Rams are currently ranked 10th at this, at 61.54%. They were ranked 2nd after 2 games but the Bengals game completely screwed that up. That stat is here: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct
This is an old problem area for the McV Rams, but (aside from the Bengals game this year) one that appears to be fixed in 2023, finally.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Communications Director is bragging about the Arkansas school voucher scheme being lauded by….. ALEC.Squirrel (he/him/his)@Squirrel3218
Most people have never heard of ALEC, a conservative gang funded by the big money boys. ALEC writes draft legislation as ordered by the oligarchs, and pushes it onto reps who are too lazy to write their own. They are a shadow government and a threat to the nation.znModeratorCameron DaSilva@camdasilvaThe Rams signed Ahkello Witherspoon to bolster their secondary and he’s turned out to be one of the top CBs in the league so far.Witherspoon has been a stud for the Rams. He’s allowed the 2nd-lowest passer rating of any CB, hasn’t given up a TD and has allowed just 6 catches on 16 targets against the likes of Chase, Pittman, Metcalf, Lockett and othersznModeratorJalen Carter's rank among DT/DIs for first 4 games of their NFL career over the last 18 years:

znModeratorThat’s five guys.
Nacua, Avila, Young, Turner, Evans.
Others that got good buzz during the summer but haven’t come through in regular season play yet are McClendon, Allen, Tomlinson, and Mathis.
A good draft hits on 40%, which would be between 5 and 6 players. A great draft hits on 50%, which would be 7 players.

Williams has a great ability to always churn forward for yards which makes him so valuable as a goal line runner.

znModeratorMany were blaming Hoecht for this touchdown. Sometimes, you just have to give credit where it's due.
Zach Moss picks up the blitz from Cobie Durant. Then, Anthony Richardson just makes an insane throw. Not much you can do, but say "nice play". pic.twitter.com/0SG0bZT9ie

znModeratorThere were a couple of runs where you just notice little things in Kyren Williams' game.
DB gets up-field. Instead of taking the play outside for likely no gain, Williams has a nice little jump-cut to hit the cutback lane. Ends up picking up close to 10 yards. pic.twitter.com/EOW6jAOi4D

znModeratorThis is where Stafford is truly elite, in my view: CBTT. Clutch Big Time Throws. Not just BTT — but Clutch BTT. There is a difference. Its a damned important measure of a QB, I’d say. w v
“Is he clutch” has always been one of my most important “boxes to check” when assessing a qb.
And of course we remember the 2021 post-season, where Stafford came from behind for wins in 2 playoff games and the super bowl.
But in addition to that, you combine his arm and his accuracy and you get all of these lasers to the middle of the field we’ve been seeing. I’ve never seen a Rams qb own the medium range pass to the middle of the field the way he does.

znModeratorThis is probably my favorite play for the Rams in the entire game.
Such a cool play design.
Nacua motions right and then runs his route through the C-gap. Rams run this off of play-action. Can only do this because of how Rams use Nacua as a blocker. pic.twitter.com/WMKEuzSjF2

znModeratorByron Young didn't have a sack on Sunday, but he still made his presence felt. Had Richardson within his grasp several times or forced him out of the pocket. Wins with his hands on this play.

znModeratorTuTu Atwell taking after Puka Nacua as a blocker. Does a really nice job on the outside, despite his size. Allows Ronnie Rivers to find a cutback lane and get upfield.

znModeratorfrom https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2023/10/04/rams-matthew-stafford-stats-evaluation-play-2023/
[Stafford’s] passing grade at Pro Football Focus is the fourth-best of any quarterback in the league, coming in at 79.6. That’s the fourth-best passing grade of his career, to put it into perspective.
He also has 12 big-time throws, according to PFF, which are passes “with excellent ball location and timing, generally thrown further down the field and/or into a tighter window.” That’s the most in the NFL, three more than any other player, and his BTT rate (6.9%) is also the highest in the NFL.
znModeratorRams Brothers@RamsBrothersRams’ secondary is currently ranked top-10, against the following: Metcalf/Lockett/JSN, Aiyuk/Deebo/Kittle, Chase/HigginsznModeratorDerion Kendrick was targeted twice and did not allow a single completion against the Colts
Yet he has famous haters in the chat room. {insouciant whistling}
I have to admit he has surprised me. I didn’t like him much last year.
Fwiw PFF has him graded fairly high for the Colts game (78.2), while last year he was their second-worst ranked cornerback in the entire league. Plus of course other than the bonehead TD he gave up in Seattle, we can see he’s doing well.
PLUS Witherspoon is a great signing on top of it–PFF has him ranked 5th among all CBs.
The Rams secondary is one of the good surprises this year.
