    This is far from an ‘all-in’ move by the Rams.

    The whole point of being ‘all-in’ is you’re risking your entire stack/bankroll on one hand.

    What’s the risk here with OBJ?

    They’re picking up a talented WR for peanuts.

    Fwiw, Blue and White, (with white pants, of course) are
    the purist and true-ist and holy-ist colors.

    I still like the dark Ferragamos.

    At the season’s midpoint, the Titans and Cardinals are the top seeds in each conference. They are 2 of 12 franchises to never win a Super Bowl. Both of the teams’ SB losses were decided in the final seconds of regulation.

    After review, Tennessee’s Coach Vrabel D strategy was to pressure A gaps with LBs, stacking the GCG gaps with D linemen, twist & stunts vs McVays offense… & it worked. Remember Coach Bilicheck doing similar tactics. This will be repeated by future opponents. #BePrepared

    We saw counter choice #1 in the second half…move the pocket. Other counters involve the ability to run the ball especially outside. The thinking, stack the middle, ATTACK THE EDGES. Or Middle screens? Play action helps but anything besides straight drop backs!

    Jacob Harris out for remainder for season after tearing ACL and MCL against Titans (This is about Miller and Stafford too).

    https://www.therams.com/news/rams-injury-update-jacob-harris-titans-acl-mcl

    THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Rams head coach Sean McVay on Monday said rookie wide receiver Jacob Harris will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL and MCL against the Titans.

    Harris sustained the injury with just under 10 minutes remaining in the first half while covering a punt return.

    “Kind of unfortunate on that freak accident,” McVay said during a video conference Monday afternoon. “So, bummer for Jacob.”

    Harris will “go through some pre-hab,” then the Rams will eventually schedule his surgery, according to McVay.

    Harris’ injury leaves the Rams with Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek and J.J. Koski as the current wide receivers on the active roster, but McVay said he feels good about the depth there.

    “It’s a bummer,” McVay said. “I hate that for Jacob, and you were hoping to kind of get him a little bit more involved. What that means as far as maybe we start mixing in some different personnel groupings, and Kendall Blanton played some snaps as of late, maybe you get into some different stuff like that, those are all things that we’ll explore. But I do feel good about those top five.”

    Updates on Matthew Stafford and Von Miller

    McVay also said quarterback Matthew Stafford “is good” after he sustained a “mild kind of ankle sprain” against the Titans. They will take things a day at a time with Stafford, but McVay doesn’t expect it to affect his status for this week.

    “He came back in and competed well,” McVay said. “He was sore today, but expect him to be able to take it a day at a time. But I think he’ll be good to go.”

    Meanwhile, the Rams will continue to take the same day-at-a-time approach with outside linebacker Von Miller this week. His status for Monday Night Football against the 49ers is still to be determined.

    “He’s doing a great job of attacking his rehab and his treatment with (Vice President, Sports Medicine and Performance) Reggie (Scott) and his group,” McVay said. “I know he’s really tough, and I know he wants to get out on the field. I think it is partly my responsibility and our job to make sure that when we decide on that, it’s when he’s feeling good and he’s feeling like the Von Miller that we’ve all grown accustomed to seeing, play with the speed and the explosion and the twitch that makes him such a special and unique player. So if he’s able to go this week, that’s definitely a positive for us. I think we’ll be careful, but I also think he’s earned the right to be able to communicate that to us, but you’re not naive to the fact that the bye (week) is after that as well, and so we want to make sure we don’t put him at harm’s risk for setting himself back. Those are questions that I kind of ask Reggie and his group, and defer to them on helping give me that clarity, and then we’ll ultimately make a decision collectively with Von and myself.”

    Some interesting stuff today from Cooper Kupp and Sean McVay, and will try to illustrate why even as I’m still marinating on it myself a bit here…(thread)

    First, Tennessee was able to pressure at high rate with four, especially in first half (they only had to blitz 4 times and had 15 pressures with 4 or fewer rushers per NextGen; first half Stafford was pressured w four on 40% of dropbacks, highest of year). Rams also were facing

    bad dwn/dstnces a lot. Stafford has produced against 2Hi/shells, Rams entered game leading explosive pass play rate in NFL despite him seeing second-most 2Hi (@joeyanalytics ). But running same concepts from deeper behind sticks affects development time, and

    further helps pressure feast if already doing so and QB is looking for those explosives (Stafford admitted he was on couple of those sacks/hits). Here’s Kupp on this; basically you’re wanting a blend of catch-and-runs under those shells/roofs w handpicked explosive air yards opps


    So, we saw this group, McVay especially, start to understand last year when he had Staley’s defensive philosophy (even tho, no, Titans were not actually playing exactly that, but 2Hi shells are high-rate in NFL now and combined w PRESSURE this is more about philosophy vs scheme),

    that the patient plan wins in games like this. Or, at least, the defense is baiting coach and QB to force the high-efficiency play (large air yards downfield) rather than control the ball and build medium catch-and-runs, ESPECIALLY when facing a deficit as they were.

    Game 9 analysis, okay, so … she’s a dog.

    I was a wrestler in high school. We had a seriously good coach and team … sent 9/14 varsity kids to state and late most kids I wrestled with won or placed in state.
    I never made it past JV because everyone around me was a monster. But on JV, I learned something that I’ve carried with me. I could beat anyone, basically. But I came upon a kid in a tournament, and he was not really a good wrestler. But he was wayyyyyy stronger than me. He was a freshman varsity running back who wanted to wrestle. he could squat 500 lbs.

    He beat me sideways. He didn’t even know what he was doing. I used fancy moves and he just threw me off like I was a fly. This is what just happened. You cannot account for being overmatched in strength without altering your gameplan. If I had known how strong he was I would have altered my approach.

    Maybe McVay knew, maybe he didn’t. But we saw the result. I can’t remember the last time I saw a DT other than Donald get sacks in one game, much less one half, so I’m gonna credit Simmons here with having a great game.

    Also?I didn’t watch the 3rd quarter at all.

    The Great

    1) That this happened now rather than in the playoffs or super bowl.

    The Good

    2) Ramsey makes plays every week that blow my mind.Thinking about the TFL.

    3) Henderson getting ypc … so also run blocking.

    4) AJ Brown not tearing us up. That’s not what beat us, at least.

    5) Higbee being solid.

    6) Our defense did okay. I wasn’t sad about THAT.

    The Bad

    7) Until Stafford cleans up his misfires, he’ll be here.

    8) Trading for Miller and not having Miller.

    9) Having two TEs open one TD.

    10) Watching Tannehill finger roll after watching an entire segment on ESPN on his finger rolls. Did no one the staff watch that? Do we need to suggest that McVay hires someone to watch Sportscenter?

    11) Ernest on the Tannehill TD.

    12) Kickoff returns. I don’t know what to say here, what was our starting field position?

    The Ugly

    13) Oh lordy that pass.

    14) Oh lordy that pick 6.

    15) Our O line, specifically the interior. Wow. Rough night guys.

    16) Getting our butts beat at home in prime time.

    17) Penalties. I can’t believe how many.

    The personal fouls are unacceptable. The real penalties. Because you never know when you’re going to get one because the official is an idiot. AD roughed the passer? Even Terry M. said “that’s not roughing the passer”. Pretty bad.

    But that didn’t lose us the game. Taking too long to adjust to what they were doing….just like the Miami game…..that’s what lost us the game. Well that and two bad interceptions. When your defense gives up less than 200 yards, you gotta win. Hold them to 3.5 yards per play. You gotta win.

    They had a 64 yard TD drive in the first half, aided by 20 yards of penalities. And 30 yards on 5 other possessions. Too bad one of them started at our 2. They had a 58 yard TD drive in the second half aided by 30 yards of penalties, 15 of which was totally bogus. They had 62 yards on 3 other possessions. I’ll tell you the one thing I can take from this game. Our defense is getting better and it only stands to get even better with VM.

    Our offense scored 16 points and gave up 14. They had 194 yards of offense on 10 drives and scored 21. We had an 162 yards of offense on 3 drives and scored 3. Best to make the offense watch the film and don’t let the defense see it. There may be hard feelings.

    Blaine Grisak@bgrisakDTR
    Brian Allen with a 38.4 pass blocking grade last night against the Titans. He also got credit with two sacks and four pressures. Not his best performance to say the least.

    Austin Gayle@PFF_AustinGayle
    Jeffery Simmons currently leads all DTs with 42 total pressures, per @PFF.

    Aaron Donald (41) has been the league leader for five straight seasons (2016-20).

    Matthew Stafford just looked… off. He did not practice most of the week because of back stiffness.

    Field Yates@FieldYates
    Tennessee has now won 4 straight games against teams that made the playoffs last season. Only 3 other teams have done that in the past 15 seasons. Each of those 3 went on to play in the Super Bowl.

    The Titans keep on rising to the challenge.

    Lots of what happened is correctable. Whats not correctable is an
    OLine that cant hold up to a defense like the Titans.

    Same problem last year. There were a few times last year where the OL just got handled. I was saying all along that this year’s OL is better than last year’s…but they backslid. So who knows if it’s really better.

    Matthew Stafford blames “too many” of the sacks on himself holding the ball too long. He says he had guys open underneath but he was looking too much for the big play.

    The Rams’ 115 penalty yards are their most in a game since 2014 when they had 119 against the Cowboys

    Chris B@BiggameCB
    The two turnovers were clearly on the quarterback but the playcalling and protection of the first half and lack of adjustments were completely on coach

    Rams Brothers@RamsBrothers
    Tonight was the first time ever Matthew Stafford has thrown two interceptions on consecutive passes.

    Just a weird night we’d like to forget.

    Last week Cowboys, led by Cooper Rush at QB, beat Vikings in Minny. Broncos barely beat crappy Washington team in Denver. So of course Broncos go to Dallas & humiliate Cowboys w/ Dak at QB & Vikings take AFC’s #1 seed (after Rams beat Titans tonight) to OT. NFL is wild.
