znModeratorznModeratorone out of sequence–2021 Rams vs Colts Week 2 Film Breakdown
..
znModeratorCHI…25th
IND…32nd
TB….23rdTampa is 23rd?
The way everyone was talking about that D-Line, I assumed it was in the Top 10.
Tampa is actually 32nd in sacks. Interesting, no? Last year they were 5th. Obviously they have 13 more games to fix that but still.
znModeratorznModeratorIf they keep up this level of performance, I don’t think the Rams can be beaten.
Matthew Stafford + All Day = TDs.
Well the stats are out now at PFR. How many times was MS pressured in the 1st 3 games? It’s 3, 4, and 6. So 13. Among qbs with at least 30 total attempts in the first 3 games, that ranks 3rd.
But then in terms of defensive pressures, here’s how the Rams first 3 opponents rank.
CHI…25th
IND…32nd
TB….23rdSo they have not really been tested yet.
ARZ btw ranks 16th.

znModeratorfrom PFF: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-3-game-recap-los-angeles-rams-34-tampa-bay-buccaneers-24
“This game was arguably won in the trenches. Tampa Bay’s defensive line has been causing teams problems dating back to last season, but the Rams offensive line largely shut them down and kept Stafford clean in the pocket all day. Nobody on the Rams line surrendered more than two total pressures, and the sack late in the fourth quarter was the first and only time the line allowed him to even hit the ground.”

Havenstein is on a mission this year. Extremely impressed with him so far.
Overall I think our OL is well within that top ten. Because they’re also playing well as a unit too. We may have a top 5 unit if things go well on the health front.
Carberry is off to a fantastic start. Remember these guys don’t get a preseason with live snaps and it looks like they’re in midseason form. We have not seen that from our line in McVay’s tenure yet. This is a first IMO

Both have looked solid in working on the side with trainers these last couple weeks.znModeratorAustin Corbett's play strength, anchor, & ability to strain are very impressive.

The NFL defenses who have allowed the most first downs in 2021.1. Seahawks (84)
2. WFT (77)
3. Chiefs (76)
4. Dolphins (73
5. Rams (73)The only team with a winning record here is the Rams.
Let’s be honest, teams have moved the chains on them this year.
The Bears and Colts blew it in the red zone, but moved all day. Brady had 432 yards against them.
They’ve held when they had to, but to do need to tighten up.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford on the rapport between him and C Brian Allen:“He’s been great. He thinks like me, which is great. Thinks like the quarterback and he sees things the way I see them. He’s making protection calls as I’m thinking them and saying them.”

Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury is kindly giving the LA beat writers some time this morning. A reporter asked whether it has gotten any easier planning for 3-time DPOY Aaron Donald over these years:“No. I wish it did.

znModeratorWait! There’s more?
I thought this whole season was settled last weekend.
I’m disappointed.
Think of it as another season.
This is the post-initial-euphoria season.
The only thing to do now is to wait for the post-first-disappointing-loss-followed-by-grand-rebound season. We just don’t know when that will be.
znModeratorRams have dominated the Cardinals since hiring Sean McVay in 2017.
8-0 record with a point-differential of +160.

Matthew Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks on third down this year. His quarterback rating of 140.2 on third downs this year leads the league.3rd down stats:
T-8th in comp. % – 70.4%
3rd in yards and YPA – 10.3
T-2nd in TDs – 3
3rd in TD% – 11.1%znModeratormerlin
Last year all the parts of the secondary played with great anticipation on the way to a #1 ranking.
Now when you ask how or why that happens, I think it starts with preparation in the film room on the part of the players, as well as great gameplanning by the coordinator. Last year Staley did that. Our defense was the best coached and most well prepared unit on the field in the NFL. This year it looks like we have a DC who is learning. Which, btw, should not be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to his background and experience when paired with the Rams keeping the Fangio scheme.
Also we have some issues with personnel. Or at least it’s close enough to where I don’t know whether it’s mainly Morris or say Rapp. Is it how he’s calling things that aren’t in Rapp’s areas of strength? Or is is just Rapp struggling with the thinking in real time and it’s slowing his effectiveness. No idea.
On the good side, it seems like they are developing Young nicely. This past game is the first game where I actually approved of him starting for us. He made enough splash plays to earn that spot on the field and then some, even with some mistakes (missed tackles, and coverage faux pas).
The DL is playing lights out and looks to be greater than the sum of their parts which is the greatest compliment you can give a coach.
So it’s not like it’s all bad. Rams just have to fix some things and they don’t have time to mess around. In this league teams are going to see what they put up vs Tampa and attack that. Starting this weekend.
znModeratorfrom https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2021/09/28/rams-terrell-lewis-snaps-justin-hollins-injury/
McVay has confidence in Terrell Lewis, who will see his role grow substantially in Hollins’ place. Coming off a game in which he played a career-high 34 snaps, Lewis’ workload is only going to get bigger with Hollins sidelined – and McVay is excited to see what he can do.
“He played close to over 30 snaps, which was by far his biggest workload. Thought he handled it well. He came in, he was feeling good. And so, seeing his maturation and him continue to progress is a big deal because Justin Hollins had done such a great job really solidifying that spot opposite Leonard Floyd over these first few weeks. But to see Terrell be able to do what he did was really encouraging. You can’t have enough good players that can apply pressure to the quarterback and be able to set edges and make the plays that he did. So, he’s definitely going to be a big factor and you can look for him to play a lot more snaps moving forward.”
