    #Rams coach Sean McVay ruled QB John Wolford out Saturday vs. the #Packers. He hasn’t practiced this week. Jared Goff will start, Blake Bortles will back up.

    Holmes maintained his status, and was even promoted, during multiple regime/location changes with the Rams. 18 years with one organization.

    That’s telling, in a positive way. Excited for him and for the Lions.

    Thanks to a new rule approved by the NFL in November, the Rams stand to earn two third-round compensatory picks if Holmes does land a GM job. It’s part of the league’s effort to reward teams for developing minority candidates, giving them a third-round compensatory pick in consecutive years if a coach or executive becomes the head coach or GM of another team.

    The picks would be in 2021 and 2022 so they get one this year.

    Jalen Ramsey has 581 coverage snaps during the regular season.

    He allowed the fewest receiving yards (309) in coverage of the 33 @NFL corners with 500+ snaps (per @PFF).

    Peter Bukowski@Peter_Bukowski
    Why the #Rams are so tough:

    – They play almost exclusively zone but let Jalen Ramsey shadow No. 1’s in man by himself at times

    – They play the most Cover-3 of any coverage but play the most Cover-4 in the NFL

    – No one plays lighter boxes but they have a top-5 run D.

    WTF

    Ramsey vs Adams is going to be so fun. Think Adams can get him off the release but Ramsey had the athletic ability to recover. Going to be a back and forth battle.

    Jon Ledyard@LedyardNFLDraft
    Seems relevant since the Packers have the best red zone offense basically ever

    2020 Rams RZ defense at home: 29.2% TD conversion rate allowed, by FAR best in the NFL

    2020 Rams RZ defense on the road: 91.3% TD conversion rate allowed, by FAR worst in the NFL

    CBS Sports HQ@CBSSportsHQ
    Aaron Rodgers is 0-4 in his last 4 starts when facing a team with the No. 1 ranked total defense.

    The Rams are No. 1 in total defense, scoring defense and passing defense.

    Asked if the problem with the run game was personnel or scheme, Mike Tomlin says it’s both: “When you’re dead last in anything, the answer is all of the above.”

    from that (link’s in the tweet):

    Dr. Medhat Mikhael, the lead pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast medical center in Fountain Valley, Calif., spoke to The Athletic this week about how Donald and the Rams’ staff will have to manage torn rib cartilage, what protective measures and pain-management measures he can take leading up to and during the game, and what the potential risks are.

    “As you know, every bone in our body can be contused, which means the cartilage of the bone can be severely damaged or injured without fracture,” Mikhael said. “Or, you can get some contusion into the intercostal muscles, the muscles that connect the ribs together in the front and partly in the back. Any chest wall traumas can be very painful, (but) rib contusions and intercostal muscle contusions are a form of mild injury to the chest wall area.”

    …

    Donald is not at a higher risk for further injuring his ribs by playing on Saturday, Mikhael said, because there reportedly was no breakage.

    “It’s not going to be like a ‘weak rib’ that ends up getting fractured, no,” Mikhael said. “Because that rib has not weakened because it’s contused. However, the only risk is that he gets hit in the area and he’s back in pain, needing to recover from that area getting a little more contused, a little more inflamed. … As long as it has not been fractured, it’s not a ‘weakened’ area.”
    …

    Mikhael believed that Rams doctors would have “breathing assignments” for Donald throughout the week and at the time of the injury, which might include a device called a “spirometer,” a device that measures how much air a person can breathe in and out, by that person blowing into a tube attached to the device. Mikhael said that continuing to fully inflate the chest and lungs to capacity is important, because the lung recoil from even a contusion can lead to pneumonia if the person does not continue to breathe deeply through the pain.

    Rams college scouting director Brad Holmes seems likely to land the Falcons or Lions GM job, which would hurt the Rams.

    BUT, they would get two third-round compensatory picks if he does leave

    They would get a third-rounder in 2021 and another third-rounder in 2022

    But would two mid-round picks really replace the value that Holmes brings? He’s been the director of college scouting for the last eight years and helped identify players such as Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Rob Havenstein and John Johnson. Jordan Fuller was another quality pick under Holmes, showing his propensity for identifying Day 3 talents.

    Cam Akers is going to be “really special,” according to Andrew Whitworth.

    He explained why he’s so bullish on the rookie RB on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday. “He’s a guy that didn’t really play in the same system that we’re running here and has adapted as the year has gone on and has learned a lot about being an NFL runner. It’s one of those things that just takes time and patience for those guys sometimes. I really think he’s done nothing but continue to grow every opp he’s had throughout this season and I think he’s going to be really special.”

    Aaron Donald says “No pain. I feel healthy.”

    “My damn side is sore…that’s it, I’m good.”
    Yeah, he’s gonna play.

    Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
    Aaron Donald says he’s feeling no pain, and that he’s not gonna talk about his “damn side” (ribs) the whole news conference.

    Been texting with an NFL source this morning who thinks there’s a very strong chance Eric Bieniemy isn’t hired for a HC opportunity this cycle. Cites concern about Reid’s coaching tree and timing w/Chiefs expected to make another SB run

    Bucky Brooks@BuckyBrooks
    It’s funny how this hiring thing works. You have an ex-NFL player who has ascended to OC role of the NFL No.1 offense thru years of work viewed as unqualified or not ready for the job but a 30-ish OC w/one-year of play-calling experience is a hot candidate. Make it make sense

    With Denver hiring George Paton as its GM, [Rams scout] Brad Holmes becomes the favorite to become the Lions’ GM.

    10 games
    7 elite WRs
    22 catches
    235 yards
    1 TD

    Jalen Ramsey was insanely good against top WRs this season.
