    If Mcvay ever says that someone’s injury is bad or serious I’m just going to assume that dude passed away

    This liberal activist poses as a MAGA devotee and gets prominent GOPers to say “revealing things”

    https://www.salon.com/2021/10/08/the-liberal-activist-poses-as-a-maga-devotee-and-gets-prominent-gopers-to-say-revealing-things_partner/

    What MAGA Republicans say during their Fox News appearances and what they’re actually thinking can be two different things. Lauren Windsor, a liberal activist and executive director of American Family Voices, has been doing a type of undercover work by acting like a MAGA Republican and getting prominent Republicans to tell her what they’re really thinking — and according to New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel, she can be quite convincing.

    Gabriel, in an article published on October 7, explains, “Posing as a true believer — in (President Donald) Trump or a stolen 2020 election — Ms. Windsor approaches Republican leaders at party gatherings and tries to coax them into revealing things that they might wish to keep in the GOP family.”

    Windsorm has been able to convince MAGA Republicans that she is one of them and has, according to Gabriel, “turned a hidden camera, a Tennessee drawl and a knack for disarming her targets with words of sympathetic conservatism into a loaded political weapon.”

    “Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio confided in her that Donald J. Trump would soon announce he was running again for president in 2024,” Gabriel reports. “Glenn Youngkin, the Republican nominee for governor of Virginia, revealed to her that he could not publicly press his anti-abortion agenda for fear of losing independent voters…. Her encounter in December 2020 with Tommy Tuberville, then a senator-elect from Alabama, elicited the first real evidence that some Republicans in the Senate would reject the Electoral College votes certifying Mr. Biden’s victory — a move based on groundless claims of fraud.”

    Windsor, according to Gabriel, hasn’t been shy about saying outrageous things she doesn’t actually believe in the hope that Republicans will agree with them. For example, she once told far-right Republican Cecil Bell, Jr. — who serves in the Texas House of Representatives — “This is a Christian state, and Democrats are not Christian.” Bell wasn’t the least bit offended:

    Gabriel notes that Windsor describes herself as an “advocacy journalist,” adding that “her methods fall beyond the pale of mainstream journalism, where reporters generally shy away from assuming false identities and secretly recording conversations.” And Windsor, according to Gabriel, “says her stings are justified by Republicans’ efforts to spread disinformation about the election and to weaken the nation’s democratic underpinnings through restrictive new voting laws and measures taking greater control over how elections are run.”

    Windsor told the Times, “Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures…. Acting like you’re one of them — you’re going to elicit different answers than if you have a reporter in somebody’s face and they know you’re a journalist.”

    I think it’s fair to say that I will not live to see the likes of that play ever repeated.

    And then in the same game a kicker missing an xtra point and kicking 2 kickoffs out of bounds.

    TBH for me a key number here is the targets. No QB in a healthy state of mind WANTS to be throwing at Ramsey. But his coverage plan makes it really, really hard to intentionally avoid him now. Rams thin at players who can unlock that versatility as they monitor Williams’ status.

    They moved Long into the slot when Williams left the game (he had not played a single snap there all season nor did to my knowledge in camp). Burgess played some slot, some Star and has played (and practiced) a little CB. We’ll see what happens – longer recovery week helps too.

    Terrell Lewis in the past two weeks since Justin Hollins’ injury (@PFF):

    2 sacks (1st on the team)
    10 pressures (3rd)
    15.7% win percentage (1st on DL)
    14.3% pressure percentage (1st on DL)
    8.6 pass-rush productivity (1st on DL)

    T-Lew has arrived. Developing

    He had EIGHT (!!!!) pressures vs. the Seahawks. Led the team.

    deSean Jackson is averaging 30.7 receiving yards per reception this season. That is the highest in the NFL among all players with 10-plus targets (@PFF).

    Next closest is nearly a whole 10 yards fewer (22.0).

    Seattle kept keying on Kupp. Mcvay ran Kupp inside then outside deep and 2 and 3 Seattle defenders went with him. Leaving Woods open underneath. Mcvay ran the play a few times and it kept working.

    Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
    Robert Woods says him and Sean McVay talked this week. McVay said he was going to try to get him some more touches.

    I think it worked. He had 12 catches for 150 yards.

    Going 2-1 against Tampa, Arizona and Seattle in 3 consecutive weeks (one of which being a short week) is honestly best case scenario.

    Plenty of rest over the next 9 days, then a 4-game stretch of very winnable games begins (NYG, DET, HOU, TEN). We’re in good shape.

    Rams give the Seahawks their first ever loss in those ugly green uniforms

    Steve Wyche@wyche89
    Side note: Russell Wilson hurt his finger tonight when he hit Aaron Donald on the follow through. Drew Brees, in 2019, injured his thumb when he hit Donald on a follow through.

    Sosa Kremenjas@QBsMVP
    Rams sit at 4-1 with 10 days off to rest now

    Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
    Sean McVay improves to 7-3 vs. Pete Carroll. Seahawks have scored 20 or fewer points in 7 of those 10 games

    We should find out some more about this defense tonight. We’ve seen games where the Rams D has handled Seattle, even in years with losing seasons, and we have seen games where they did not handle Seattle. I just have a feeling that tonight we get a snapshot of how the defense will be this year.

    I love this from a defensive coach. He gets it. And also speaking from experience. PAP blocks take a certain level of confidence, especially on the front side. You have to sell run and you’re way more confident in your technique if you’ve been running the ball.

    You need to stop the feet of the defensive lineman and they have to believe you’re bringing it. If you don’t, they sense pass right away and can attempt to get off the block quicker making you a) scared to sell the run next time and/or b) getting beat quicker
