znModeratorRonnie Rivers had an impressive Sunday and is earning the coaches confidence as a player they can rely on behind K. Williams
Rivers is showing great technique in pass protection and has great patience & wiggle as a runner. I see some Brian Westbrook in his style pic.twitter.com/imeYu14IVF

znModeratorThey do the Rams at 25:07 & 31:59
znModeratorTed Nguyen@FB_FilmAnalysisAnthony Richardson leads the league in explosive play rate (runs of 12+ yards and passes of 20+ yards).

znModeratorI thought Puka Nacua was DANI DANI ROJAS!
I don’t know the show so the reference was lost on me till I looked it up.
znModeratorThey discuss Nacua at 2:10 in. It’s a good one.
znModeratorImagine if the Rams had drafted Stafford in 2009 instead of Bradford in 2010.
Lions picked first in 2009, as we know.
Rams picked 2nd that year. And they took…drumroll…Jason Smith.
znModeratorNoteboom played fairly well at LOT.
I wonder what it’s like to be one of those many NFL teams who have only one starting caliber LOT on the roster.
Must be tough.

znModeratorJAKE ELLENBOGEN@JKBOGEN#Rams DL Jonah Williams is 5th in the NFL in run stop rate per PFF. He’s been outstanding in the run game this season.

Only 14 wide receivers have more than 80 “run-blocking snaps” via PFF. Puka Nacua is one of them. Nacua and Zay Flowers are the only rookies on that list.Among those 14 WRs, Puka Nacua’s 75.2 run-blocking grade ranks 2nd behind Josh Reynolds and ahead of Amon-Ra St. Brown.
znModeratorbest olineman since rodger saffold?
I assume you mean best interior OL cause, Whitworth.
But yes best interior OL since Saffold–and, as good as Saffold was at guard, Avila is already showing he can do some things you would never ask Saffold to do (things on the move, out in the 2nd level).
Last year btw Saffold was a starting guard for Buffalo. Where, coincidentally, the OL coach is Aaron Kromer. (And in fact that’s where the Rams superb new OL coach, Ryan Wendell, coached last year–he was an assistant to Kromer).
As a Rams fan, I am stocked deep with OL history trivia. 😎
znModeratorBlaine Grisak @bgrisakTSTSince Kyren Williams became the starting running back in Week 2, the Rams running game ranks fifth in success-rate.
znModeratorBlaine Grisak @bgrisakTSTKevin Dotson was the third-highest graded guard in run-blocking according to Pro Football Focus. Allowed just one pressure in pass protection.
znModeratorJAKE ELLENBOGEN@JKBOGEN#Rams corner duo Derion Kendrick and Ahkello Witherspoon are 2nd and 3rd respectively in reception percentage when targeted. Only MJ Emerson has a better one. These two continue to tear it up.
znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsI asked Rob Havenstein postgame yesterday what it does for an offense when their quarterback has the kind of mentality Matthew Stafford had yesterday in terms of pushing through something. His response explained exactly why teammates will always go to battle for Stafford.
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueRams CB Ahkello Witherspoon talked today about the clearly defined and aggressive coverage philosophy deployed this season as something that drew him to signing in LA.

znModeratorAaron Donald had one of his take-over performances on Sunday. He was affecting the game in so many unseen ways. His persistent pressures & hurry’s on the QB cause havoc to the play! Just as much as a sack.
Donald continues to prove he is still ELITE. From all over the field! pic.twitter.com/bDXo72M2oB

znModeratorI don’t think anyone expected the Rams to be top 10 (in yards) on both O and D after 4 weeks.
Big, big test coming w/ Eagles.
znModeratorAfter game 4

znModeratorThe thing that makes Puka Nacua so special is that he lines up everywhere and wins at all three levels. He's not just a "slant god" or someone who settles in zones in the middle of the field. He's everywhere.
Again, the route chart is just incredible. pic.twitter.com/yzQemNhSzT
