October 24, 2024 at 1:35 am in reply to: Kupp on the block, apparently + Titans trade E.Jones to Seattle #152729znModeratorDon’t give him away, like they did Ernest Jones.
Bill Barnwell@billbarnwellOdd one. Jones was available for a swap of Day 3 picks at the end of camp, but maybe Rams didn’t want to trade him in division. Seahawks basically paying more draft capital for that and for the Titans to eat the rest of Baker’s base salary (~$1.2m)?…me (@moi.com):.Titans traded a starter to a team that was trying to pry him away. Rams traded an injury recovering player everyone knew they were trying to unload. Titans proved Jones could still play, and Seattle pursued him. The 2 situations were just different..Maybe the story here is that Seattle was willing to overpay.znModeratorSarah Barshop@sarahbarshopTroy Reeder (hamstring), Jordan Whittington (shoulder) and Joe Noteboom (ankle) have been ruled OUT for Thursday night.znModeratorGary Klein@LATimeskleinRams CB Cobie Durant named NFC defensive player of week.znModeratorfrom PFF: Defense Win Rate: Evaluating effectiveness against the run, https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-run-defense-win-rate-week-7

Alex Smith joined the pod to break down how Jared Goff carved up the Vikings D. A brilliant performance and genius game plan!

Difference between Johnson & the Rams in handling Goff. McV publicly ripped him for his performance against the Flores D in the 2020 Miami game. Just publicly ripped him. Johnson approached the Detroit offense and Goff as having to build the qb’s confidence. In 2020 Goff ended up in the doghouse and the Miami game against the Flores D was a big part of that, in 2024 Goff’s performance against the Flores D is getting him MVP talk.

So much for all the Cooper Kupp to Chiefs stuff Twitter ran with yesterday… this was the ace in the hole and had been discussed for quite some time.znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueSo this is interesting. Rams don’t have ILBs on the field on third and 4 and have six DBs. That means the green dot is not out there (Reeder) and communication goes to Lake on the back and Hoecht up front. You could see Hoecht getting the DL re-set right before the two minute hitznModeratorLos Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPRS Jaylen McCollough became the first rookie UDFA since 2014 to record two or more interceptions in a game. His three interceptions over a two-game span during his rookie season are the most by an undrafted free agent since Everson Walls who accomplished the feat twice during his rookie season in 1981 (he recorded four interceptions between Weeks 7 and 8 and three interceptions between Weeks 3 and 4).October 23, 2024 at 12:38 am in reply to: Kupp on the block, apparently + Titans trade E.Jones to Seattle #152716znModeratorRams Bros.@RamsBrothers
If Cooper Kupp is in fact on his way out — we’ve been extremely impressed by Jordan Whittington so far this season. Big slot, position versatility, understands zone vacancies, can be used in motion both as a blocker and pass catcher, really good down-field run blocker in general.@speed_kills@speedk1lls
IMO the Rams should not trade either Kupp or Stafford. I don’t believe either rumor is true at all. Now that being said pay attention to what Schrager is saying… that will be the taleznModeratorPFF LA Rams@PFF_Rams

znModeratorCobie Durant has had some good moments this season as a starting CB. His best game certainly has come against the Raiders
Durant stuffed the stat sheet and was one of the players who deserved a game ball. This was the player I expected Durant to mold into as a pro! Feisty! pic.twitter.com/wi3gW8ukWN

znModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefterRams listed WR Cooper Kupp as a full participant in today’s practice ahead of their Thursday night game vs. the Vikings.znModeratorroberto clemente@rclemente21212024 marks just the 4th time in the last 59 years (super bowl era) that a rams team has thrown 3 or fewer tds through the first 6 games of a seasonznModeratorLos Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPRS Kam Curl (@KCurl_2) has three passes defended over the last two games. That is tied for the third-most across the NFL from Weeks 5-7, despite having a bye in Week 6.znModeratorLos Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR RB Kyren Williams has 29 runs that have resulted in a first down, second most in the NFL behind Derrick Henry of Baltimore (30).
Wes@Sleyson80Williams is on pace to score 25 total touchdowns this yearznModeratorDare
Witherspoon has IMO locked down the starting boundary CB opposite Durant who emerged as an up and coming starter. I thought it was short sighted in not resigning Witherspoon but now they have their starting boundary CBs in Witherspoon and Durant.
McCollough was the big surprise to me. He lacks the normal athleticism you want in a safety, especially in terms of speed. But he has something more important. Jaylen thus far has shown the ability diagnose what is happening quickly and react properly allowing him to break on the ball. This in turn frees up Lake to play nickel where he is excelling.
Meanwhile Curl has shown why he was signed as his play continues to shine.

Let’s not forget the loss to Flores’ Dolphins in 2020 too. 471 yards of offense (4 turnovers) to 145 yards of offense (2 turnovers) by Miami. 28-17 loss.
Minnesota is currently the #6 defense in points allowed (17.8), #20 defense in yards (340 yds/g); #30 vs pass (260 yds/g); #2 vs rush (80 yds/g). Is that last one a result of their offense getting leads? 255 pass attempts vs (most in NFL), #3 in sacks (24). 120 rush attempts vs (third least in NFL), 4.0 yds per attempt (5th best).
Not expecting a win based on our offensive performance so far but it’s the NFL and for a lot of reasons (travel, time, post-Detroit, etc) combined with getting some guys back, it wouldn’t be a HUGE shock.
Would this be a game if the toss is won take the ball?
I hope to see a lot of Kyren and Corum to keep their O on the sideline and perhaps dent that run defense a bit?
Considering how many guys we have on IR, being the #20 offense isn’t bad. #15 passing; #26 rushing. A product of trailing a lot? #23 in points (19 ppg). A product of missing a lot of guys?
znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsSean McVay said Jordan Whittington’s 9 offensive snaps vs. Raiders was due to Whittington not being able to practice a lot last week because of the limitations with his shoulder injury. McVay said he hopes Whittington will have “a little bit more of a workload” vs. VikingsznModeratorDurant pick -3rd & 9 Rams in one of new dimes

znModeratorJ.B. Long@JB_LongUndrafted rookie safety Jaylen McCollough has 3 interceptions in just 33 defensive snaps over the last two games for the RamsznModeratorSean McVay said today it’s about as “live” a game as an offense will have to play, inclusive to playcaller and players adjusting.
You know what it sounds to me like? They didn’t work on preparing for the Raiders as much as they usually would in a week before a game. Looks to me like they spent part of that time prepping for the Vikes, which means less prep for the Raiders–so they trusted a more scaled down offense against the Raiders.

Jared Goff putting up yet another great performance vs a Brian Flores defense that’s stymied the rest of the NFL is so, so impressive
How I remember folks writing off Rams Jared Goff after the disastrous outing vs Flores'-coached Dolphins.
There was more to that story than Goff–his work vs pressure at Cal was fantastic. #DetroitLions Goff is more like Cal Goff.
Good work vs blitz. pic.twitter.com/RndU0C22M6

<p id=”j2Ynws”>The rookie UDFA played 18 snaps against the Raiders and is steadily gaining more opportunities. He has a knack for finding the football, which is always a useful skill on defense.</p> -
