This is absurd. No team has allowed fewer pressures on offense (63) or created more pressures on defense (134) than the #LARams. Talk about owning the line of scrimmage.

Game 6

in person Giants beat down

Been waiting for a time to see them live when it would be a good game for years now … Saw them twice in the end of the Fisher era (Jets, Ravens) and the games were so bad that I basically forgot what live football looked like.

Also highest amount of Rams fans I’ve seen at a game … probably almost 50/50. At least where I was up top. And it was a gorgeous day.

The loss of Kadarius Toney changed the game rhythm … there’s just not an explosive player on their offense. And Danny Dimes was really inaccurate. Actually was surprised by his lack of accuracy. He was wayy off on some easy throws.

I left after the Henderson wheel TD … but i was satisfied because I had one of the best gyros of my life. Seriously the place was rated “best at the stadium” but I didn’t think it would rate along with the best I’ve ever had.

This list will include some “really enjoyed seeing it in person” moments because I was calling plays as I could se the whole field.

The Great

1) Obo’s strip sack. In real time watching his get off and bend was epic.

2) Donald’s blowing up of a Booker run play … he was on the other side of the LOS so fast it was like a blur.

3) Terell Lewis and Floyd with sacks along with Obo and Donald. That’s the production I want from the position.

4) Rapp being Johnny on the spot … good to see him making the most of his reps.

5) How many 4 TD games will Stafford have this year? My guess is 5.

6) No TDs given up.

7) Cooper freaking Kupp. Finally he’ll get the pro bowl nod he deserves.

The Good

8) Hekker back to his old self for this game at least, and the fake punt to Skowronek …

9) Fuller on his run fills … that was impressive.

10) Rochell being able to be up to speed at the NFL level year one bodes well for how much value we’re going to get for that pick.

11) The running game was something I could see a lot better … and I’m not good enough at line technique to se what nuances Carberry is putting in … but both backs have multiple lanes to choose from on most running plays and our short yardage/goalline runs seem to get push where they need it. If you had told me we’d be able to run inside the 5 on Lawrence and Williams I would not have believed it.

12) Henderson looks more confident. His running isn’t as jagged and he gets to full speed faster … it seems like he didn’t trust the plays to develop earlier in the year so he would stall on hitting the Jets.

13) I’m happy for Kenny Young that he developed into the player I imagined he would, sad that we won’t keep him, and happy for the likely 5th round draft pick we’ll get for him.

14) Oh and Skowronek on special teams is something to watch live … those battles are intense and he’s always around the ball.

15) Dontay Deayon (sp?) stepped right in.

The Bad …. in a game like this these are nit picky

16) Stafford’s placement on the pass to Higbee on the 5.

17) Stafford taking some sacks.

18) Why is Cooper Kupp, during his record pace season … returning freaking punts?

19) For that matter why is Tutu Atwell not part of first team offense ever?

20) Why is Desean on the field in this game?

21) Mundt injury? How bad? He’s the unheralded man and that loss will be noticeable. Is harris ready to fill? Because we use him on ST he’s the best option yeah? Even if he’s only 225?

22) Again, D Henderson gets tired after 4 runs. He needs to be subbed every long drive. Tired leads to lazy cuts … and that leads to dings …

The Ugly

23) I kept Tee Higgins over Kupp in my keeper league and didn’t draft him in any of the non keeper leagues. I deserve this.

Chris B@BiggameCB
Sebastian Joseph-Day has 33 total tackles through the first 6 games…So errrr he’s on pace for roughly 85-95 tackles from the Interior Lineman position… Just letting you know how outrageous that is. Perhaps a record pace for a DT?

Johnny Mundt and Jake Funk are both out for the year, per Sean McVay.

Mundt torn an ACL. Funk tore a hamstring.

If Deayon getting 46 more snaps on defense than David Long DAYS after coming off the practice squad doesn’t tell you David Long’s future on the team, I’m not sure what does…

After how he played yesterday, Deayon shouldn’t see the PS again this year.

Fun Fact: If Matthew Stafford never threw another pass for the Rams, he’d have the highest QB passer rating in franchise history.

Justin Rogers@Justin_Rogers
Michael Brockers said Aaron Donald works like an undrafted free agent. Spends more time in the film room and weight room than anyone on the roster. Brockers said it still motivates him on a daily basis and has made him a better player and a better leader.

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2021/10/18/rams-sean-mcvay-halftime-record-bill-belichick/

Following Sunday’s blowout victory over the New York Giants, McVay is now 41-0 when the Rams lead at halftime…. Belichick once had 42 consecutive wins when leading at halftime with the New England Patriots, which is the current record.

Sosa Kremenjas@QBsMVP
Dont’e Deayon was targeted 12 (!!!!) times yesterday but had a great game (@PFF).

– 37 yards allowed
– 56.6 passer rating allowed
– 0.71 yards per coverage snap allowed

The passing game wouldn’t be able to function nearly as well without the OL’s performance. According to
@PFF, neither Andrew Whitworth nor Rob Havenstein gave up a single pressure. Completely blanked.

Taylor Rapp was targeted four times in coverage (@PFF), gave up zero catches, and had two INT’s. Was probably the best game of his NFL career so far.

Matt Stafford is obviously playing excellent football right now but every now and then he still does the thing where he just refuses to take the easy throw that's wide open pic.twitter.com/xv6uGZguRn

While the Rams did win yesterday, and they won BIG, it is nice to see McVay and the players not satisfied. Easy to look at a 38-11 win and say you didn’t do very much wrong. Not the case. This team is looking to get even better.

Okoronkwo and Lewis are stepping up big

Losing Justin Hollins for 8-10 weeks was a major blow to the defense. However, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Terrell Lewis have stepped up opposite Leonard Floyd. They each had a sack against the Giants, with Okoronkwo forcing a fumble that Floyd recovered and helped set up a touchdown by the offense.

Without Lewis and Okoronkwo, the defense wouldn’t be playing as well as it has been. In the last two weeks, they’ve only allowed 28 points, a better trend than the previous three weeks.

Blink… and you'll miss it. 👀
