Yes, I know this video piece is about Robert Woods. But it’s hard to overlook the fantastic job that Henderson is doing in Pass Pro. The first clip shows great recognition on his part. Stafford initially directs him to protect the A Gap where the LB is showing blitz. But at the snap, Hendu immediately realizes that it’s a ruse and that the backer is dropping off into coverage. Almost instantaneously, he recognizes that it’s the other LB that’s coming. Henderson is able to get across the line to the B Gap to knock the blitzer off stride. Stafford is able to maneuver a little and deliver a strike to Woody.
Great play!

Roman has opened up the offense, giving Mark Andrews and Jackson the freedom to space hunt. It’s not always pretty but it’s hard to argue with results. https://t.co/LIh31alKs7

from Gregg Rosenthal, NFL QB Index, Week 6: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-6-2021-season-rankings?campaign=Twitter_atn
Rosenthal calls it ” an extraordinary year of quarterback play.”
On his list, MS is 12th. QBs 1-11 on his list are Brady, Herbert, Prescott, Jackson, Murray, Mahomes, Carr, Allen, Wilson, Rodgers, Cousins.

Is Stafford getting knocked down slightly because his degree of difficulty is easier as a Ram? Absolutely. Did too many Rams drives in the last two weeks end because Stafford missed open throws? Why else would I ask? Stafford’s talent and excellent closing ability make up for a lot, but his PFF grade has been worse each week this season for a reason. It’s enough to move him down a few spots in an extraordinary year of quarterback play.

znModeratorPFF: NFL Week 6 Offensive Line Rankings
https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-6-offensive-line-rankings-20214. LOS ANGELES RAMS (Up 2)
Best-graded: T Rob Havenstein | 75.9
Worst-graded: G Austin Corbett | 68.9The Los Angeles Rams announced themselves as real contenders this year when they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the statement their offensive line made in that game may have been even bigger. They allowed just 11 total pressures as a unit against a formidable opponent. Andrew Whitworth has a top-five PFF pass-blocking grade, allowing just seven total pressures from almost 200 pass-blocking snaps despite closing in on his 40th birthday, which may be as impressive as the age-defying feats of Tom Brady at quarterback.

Don’t look now, but the Rams are second in the NFL with 108 pressures on the season (@PFF).That defensive line is finding a way to step up.

PFF’s rankings for Rams OL through week 5
LT Whitworth- 11th out of 74 OT
LG Edwards- 21st out of 74 OG
C Allen- 9th out of 35 C
RG Corbett- 23rd out of 74 OG
RT Havenstein- 9th out of 74 OTznModerator69RamFan
The OL
After five games, against good teams that have a pretty good front seven,
They have been playing outstanding football.
According to Football Outsiders, the OL is ranked 7th for both run and pass protection.
Ranked 19th on the run block, in which I think thats a little miscued because we’ve been passing the rock more than using the run.
But the pass protection is outstanding and we are number one.
We are the top OL with the least amount of pass pressure percentage and only giving up 3 sacks after five games against good front seven defensive teams.
Four of those five teams were playoff teams last season with AZ an up rising team for this season was our only lost, and during that game, our OL still played outstanding.
Continuity has a lot to do with how this unit is playing,
After being together and going into their third year as a unit,
Plus building up the physical strength in the middle
With two experience bookends,
Has a lot to do with how they are playing IMO.
