Rams’ Greg Gaines ranks 5th in pass rush win rate at defensive tackle and 4th in run stop win rate at defensive tackle this season.

Also crazy: Aaron Donald’s pass rush win rate at defensive tackle is more than *double* Gaines’, despite Gaines ranking 5th in the category.

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Since Week 8, Gaines has 17 pressures, which ranks 11th among interior defenders and is only 3 fewer than Aaron Donald

Losing SJD for the season in a contract year was legitimately gut wrenching. Having the void filled internally by a guy who clearly wants it is very fun to watch.

Brent Lancaster@BrentRamcaster
Greg Gaines – 4th rounder
SJD – 6th rounder
Jordan Fuller – 6th rounder
Ernest Jones – 3rd rounder
Tyler Higbee – 4th rounder
Brian Allen – 4th rounder (#6 PFF!)
David Edwards – 5th rounder
Cooper Kupp – 3rd rounder

The Rams have shown they can hit on Day 2 and 3 of the draft.

The Rams looked for stability at left tackle in Jason Smith, Jake Long, and Greg Robinson.

Nine years after Orlando Pace left for Chicago, the Rams finally found stability in 35-year old Andrew Whitworth. Let's take a second and appreciate 'Big-Whit'.https://t.co/dVrX6Z3vxg

On Sunday against the Jaguars, the Rams ran 74% of their plays from 11 personnel and 23% from 12 personnel.

That 23% in 12 personnel was their most since Week 5 (one week before Mundt’s injury).

Rams Wire@TheRamsWire
If the Rams lose to the Cardinals in Week 14, they can all but rule out winning the NFC West.

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
The Rams waived WR JJ Koski, who I believe can still return to their practice squad once clearing waivers. Would think this is in advance of either a Hollins activation or a spot for Powell, who showed promise in the return game last week (he can also continue to be elevated).

Aside from running more 12 personnel, the Rams did this quite a bit on Sunday.

The lined Joseph Noteboom next to Rob Havenstein to block. Saw it in both the pass and run game. This was very new. Instead of leaving an extra TE like Blanton to block, it was Noteboom. pic.twitter.com/82xQxbc2ML

Van Jefferson calls Robert Woods before every game to go over film.
When he hit a mental low, it was Odell Beckham who lifted him up.
He’s taking detailed notes on Cooper Kupp.

Jefferson is trying to fill a void in Rams’ offense. But he’s also a student: https://t.co/UnoNYtGwRJ

I’m so dumb, it’s only Monday and I’m starting to convince myself we can beat the Cardinals.

Someone please stop me, this isn’t good for my mental health.

Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
Andrew Whitworth reached out to Jared Goff yesterday and congratulated him on winning for the Lions. Whitworth told Goff about the big cheer he got from the SoFi crowd watching the highlights on the video board.

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Per Sean McVay, Brian Allen sprained his MCL and is day-to-day. He is not ruled out this week but will be limited in practice to start the week.

Sean McVay did not want to commit to Sony Michel moving into a traditional lead-back role, BUT added that the type of downhill physicality the Rams utilized behind Michel and some of those blocking concepts is something he believes they’ll need down the back stretch. Personal

opinion is that what he’d REALLY like to do is utilize more two-back personnel sets between Michel and Henderson, who has really been a positive in the passing game.

Rams 0-for-4 on third down. Again, things you can get away with against the Jaguars, but the third down offense over the last month have been near the bottom of the league.

Doesn’t help when Shelton gets beat on 3rd-and-1.

Wagnum P.I.@Wags_Official
Another ball behind a receiver. Same issue last week. Plus the high balls. I have to believe Stafford is more injured than anyone lets on. Just didn’t see the missed weeks 1-6.

jonah@j_nametag
Michel isn’t the running back who is going to bust open a huge run, but he runs hard and gives you manageable 2nd and 3rd downs.

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Something Matthew Stafford pointed out with a chuckle about the challenge of changing centers in-game: Brian Allen snaps right-handed; Coleman Shelton snaps left-handed.

mcvay talks about the last few games – the turnovers, the 3 pick-6, and the bad guys holding the ball a long time, which hurt the rams.

but he doesn't mention that the rams had 33 drives to work with and only scored 5 tds, punted 12 times and failed on four 4th down tries. pic.twitter.com/95BwYD1UB1

I was looking forward to a nice discussion of Hawkeye.

Once again, I am a broken and disppointed man.

😎

The Rams' OL ranks under Kevin Carberry this season per @PFF:

130 pressures allowed (3rd-fewest)
19 sacks (3rd-fewest)
3.9% sack percentage (5th-lowest)
23.2% pressure percentage (2nd-lowest)

I can't believe there are actually fans still talking about Aaron Kromer.
