    That’s not how C0 works. When the Rams left in 6 to block, Miami brought 7 to pressure. The defense is always a man up when they don’t have to account for the QB.

    Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
    It’s hilarious that the Rams didn’t run a single screen against these cover-0 looks (that I can remember)

    But McVay will call one on third-and-11 in the red zone……..

    Sean McVay once again shared some insight on Cam Akers’ limited role. He sees the potential, but wants the rookie to improve “without the ball in his hands”

    Rams midseason grades: Cooper Kupp has twice as many drops as he did last season, in half as many targets and Goff is 1 of 9 for 17 yards and an interception on “deep” throws to Kupp.

    Trump can’t just ask the Supreme Court to stop ballot counting, GOP election lawyer tells CNN

    https://news.yahoo.com/trump-cant-just-ask-supreme-095738297.html

    President Trump early Wednesday said he thinks he won the presidential race, prematurely claimed victory in states that still have millions of votes uncounted, and said he will ask the Supreme Court to halt the vote count — or stop the “voting,” as he said. Officials in Pennsylvania and other states that won’t finish counting votes for hours or days vowed that every ballot will be counted. And legal experts said Trump can’t really just petition the Supreme Court to halt the counting of legally cast votes.

    Ben Ginsberg, who spent decades as a top Republican Party election lawyer, told CNN’s Jake Tapper early Wednesday that even if Trump did have a mechanism to petition an end to the vote counting or toss out votes, that request would “be viewed by any court, including the Supreme Court, as just a massive disenfranchisement that would be frowned upon.”

    Tapper asked Ginsberg, who was national counsel to George W. Bush’s campaign in the Florida recount, if he had seen anything like Trump’s statement. “No, not even close,” he said. Ginsberg retired over the summer, then started criticizing Trump’s constant and baseless claims of voter fraud.

    Trump’s “unsubstantiated talk about ‘rigged’ elections caused by absentee ballot ‘fraud’ and ‘cheating’ has been around since 2016,” Ginsberg wrote in The Washington Post last week. But “this is not about finding fraud and irregularities. It’s about suppressing the number of votes not cast for Trump.” CBS News estimates that there are five million legally cast votes left to be counted in the five uncalled swing states.

    Before we freak out, look at Arizona. This state has been red except for two times -1996 and 1948. What is different about AZ is that we counted mail in and early votes first. Most other states counted in person votes first and are just starting to count mail-in votes today. Mail-in and early voting favors Biden which is why AZ is so blue so early.
    Take a breath.
    We will not know until the end of the week. Let’s keep flipping the senate and let’s strengthen the house and let’s win the presidency by Friday.
    As votes are counted in AZ from in person voting today, Trump will climb back up and it will get closer. The same will happen for Biden in the upper Midwest as mail-in and early votes are counted tomorrow and the rest of the week.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2020/11/02/rams-michael-brockers-dolphins-defense-quote/

    Brockers could only watch from the sideline, but after the game, his reaction to Flores’ game plan was candid and enlightening.

    “They just brought as many as they could. They brought more than we can block,” he said. “That’s how I felt. I felt like they had 11 guys on the line of scrimmage and had all our WRs one-on-one and once you snapped the ball, everybody was coming. To be honest with you, I’ve never seen that before, that many times. That was zero-pressure, man-on-man, he has to get the ball out fast because there’s an unblocked player. It was a lot. It was a little crazy to look at, because I was like, ‘Man, they’re going to keep zeroing us like that?’ I have a lot of confidence in Jared and in Coach to get those things fixed and if they see it again, I best believe they’ll go ahead and chop it up, for sure.”

    From a defensive perspective, he was asked what the Rams could’ve done to neutralize and counter the Dolphins’ relentless attack.

    “I truly don’t know,” he said. “Maybe you run some draw plays to catch them off-guard. Maybe you run some screens, some running back screens, something. To be honest with you, I’ve never seen that before where a team just zero-pressures you every play and it was tough.”

    So … this was a game where we were the better team, but got outcoached. I am proud of our defense, I can definitely say that.

    This is another game where Sun Tzu and I were yelling at the TV because the offensive playcalling.

    The Great

    1) Defense holding them to 7 real points and what … 100 yards of offense?

    2) Donald’s strip sack welcome to the NFL was satisfying.

    The Good

    3) DBs held up without Ramsey.

    4) Rapp’s FF. He can get so low and keep his head up, just impressive.

    5) The running game.

    6) Can Jefferson’s sideline catch.

    7) We even had a chance late … which makes everything that comes after this so freaking frustrating.

    The Bad Some of these really could be in the ugly, but I wanted to try to differentiate a bit.

    8) Why, when getting 5 yards a clip, are we not running until they stop us? Why the obsession with trying to pass against the blitz from the pocket?

    9) How can they allow in the NFL that temperature disparity on the sidelines? Shouldn’t there be an awning or something? 140 is literally dangerous.

    10) Ummm … it’s the 3rd quarter and we’re down by 18 … I get that you don’t want to hurry up completely, but can we snap the ball at 15 or 12 instead of 3? How is there not a medium speed?

    11) Goff missing Kupp on the TD.

    12) Everett’s drop.

    The Ugly

    13) Lack of adjustment to the 0 blitzes. No slants. No designated hot routes. Guys running downfield and having deep drops when you don’t have 3 seconds.

    14) Whew I’m glad Henderson got out of Ogbah’s way on the scoop and score … he might have dinged his shoulder. All he has to do is be a speedbump and Goff is at least “throwing” when hit. 10 point swing at least.

    15) What was that FG miss? Is his foot the right shape?

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    I think the Rams are in a good spot with their line in that yes, if they want to retain some of these guys they will have to pay them – but none outside of Whit are going to be your high-dollar guys and I think the chances of being team-friendly is good there. I do like what they have been doing to develop Anchrum, too, though unfortunately can’t get much of a read on their depth because at this point we don’t get to see a ton of practice.

    They were expecting that type of pressure from Flores and his staff, and in my mind – if they were really going to be determined to pass – they should have done more quick outs/LOS stuff to kill the blitz. It would really only take one “blitz killer” to hold the Dolphins front more accountable, and they failed to execute. If the Rams got it to Cooper or Robert on a little pop-out, there was nobody in the second or third level to stop them. But they never got it to them, and Jared didn’t take sacks when he needed to, and lost the football and so then the Dolphins knew they could pin their ears and keep coming at him because the blitz-kill plays were not working. When they work, they stop the blitz. I think that is on the quarterback, but doing the same thing over and over again in that way is a reflection of the entire operation. But the Rams couldn’t beat it one time, for a variety of I think scheme and execution issues, and so the Dolphins smelled blood in the water and kept doing it.

    This defense is trending the way it needs to be. But they haven’t put four quarters together on offense yet. . I really think they have sooooo much potential…if they can put four quarters together on offense on a consistent basis, the sky is the limit for these guys.

    Don’t Expect a Contested Election

    Charlie Cook

    Charlie Cook, one of the best political handicappers in the business

    https://cookpolitical.com/analysis/national/national-politics/dont-expect-contested-election?fbclid=IwAR20Sl1_IWmpemvxPx_iflTN44IokKLVNherCPomFV5WEHprcBw_e2Y-v6M

    On a hundred-odd Zoom meetings, webinars, and conference call speeches that I’ve participated in over the past two months, virtual attendees continue to raise the possibility of a contested presidential election, even though the chances of that have been getting smaller all the time. Every day that Trump remains behind in the polls, outspent badly and with the early vote gushing in, the cone of uncertainty narrows, and the odds of such an upset goes down.

    Joe Biden’s path to 270 electoral votes seems pretty straightforward: Hold all 20 states (plus the District of Columbia) that Hillary Clinton carried four years ago, which total 232 electoral votes, just 38 short of the majority threshold of 270. Then win each of the three states that Clinton lost by eight-tenths of a point or less: Michigan (0.2 percentage points) Pennsylvania (0.7), and Wisconsin (0.8). That gives him 278 electoral votes, eight more than needed. Biden will likely also carry two congressional districts that eluded Clinton in 2016, Nebraska’s 2nd District and Maine’s 2nd, giving him 280 electoral votes. That would represent a “skinny” Biden win.

    A big Biden win would bring in Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina, and might also include one or two states from the next tier, mostly likely Georgia or Iowa, although don’t count out Ohio or Texas. Generally speaking, Trump is underperforming his 2016 pace by 3 to 8 points, depending upon the state or district.

    The RealClearPolitics average of national polls pegs Biden’s lead at 7.4 points, 51.1 to 43.7 percent. But that’s a less discriminating measure, including as it does some mediocre surveys, some that seemed congenitally slanted toward one side or the other, and some that would be better utilized lining hamster cages. The FiveThirtyEight modeled average of national polls, which is more selective than the RCP average but still includes some surveys that I consider rather sketchy, puts the Biden lead at 8.8 points, 52 to 43.2 percent.

    I believe his actual lead is more like 9 or 10 points, based on the higher-quality, live-telephone-interview national polls conducted since the first debate, as well as the gold standard of online polling, the Pew Research Center’s mammoth poll of 11,929 voters released two weeks ago.

    Any way you slice it, these are pretty good leads, considerably higher than the 3.2-point national margin that Hillary Clinton had over Trump in the RCP average on Oct. 29, 2016. When all the votes were counted, the margin ended up being 2.1 percent.

    In fact, one of the stories of this election is how Democrats have opened their checking accounts to candidates and causes this year. As reported by Advertising Analytics on Wednesday, the Biden campaign has bought $626 million in TV time, $268 million more than Trump’s $358 million by the Trump effort.

    All told, Advertising Analytics reported that political campaigns and causes dropped $8.12 billion in TV ads so far this cycle— $4.633 billion by Democrats on all levels, $2.606 million by Republicans, and $907 million by independents. Of the $2.948 billion spent on television by presidential campaigns, $2.163 billion came for Democratic candidates to $780 million for Republicans. Senate candidates spent $2 billion, $1.130 million spent by or for Democrats and $870 million by or for Republicans. Of the $1.105 billion spent on House advertising, the split was $649 million on the Democratic side, $500 million for Republicans.

    Democratic donors have bucked recent trends to deliver a substantial spending advantage for their side, voting with their wallets long before anyone voted with a ballot. Democrats have had their hair on fire since Election Night 2016 and that has shown no sign of abating. In my judgement, a landslide is more likely than a contested election.

    The House looks likely to see Republicans lose a few more seats on top of the 40 they dropped in 2018. If the over/under is 10 seats, I tend to come down on the higher side.

    The Senate is increasingly less a case of whether Democrats will take a majority, but how large will it be. The chances of the GOP keeping its losses down to a seat or two are dropping; I am thinking that a five- or six-seat gain is becoming highly possible. The three most likely GOP incumbents to lose are Martha McSally in Arizona, Cory Gardner in Colorado, and Thom Tillis in North Carolina. Right on the bubble are Joni Ernst in Iowa, Susan Collins in Maine, and both Georgia seats. A touch back from that are Steve Daines in Montana and Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, as well as the open seat in Kansas. All three states are likely to be won by Trump, so look for a possible repeat of 2016, when every Senate race went to the same party that won the presidential race there—the first time that had happened since the start of direct Senate elections in 1914.

    What I am wondering is if this will be one or the rarest species of national elections—a wave election in a presidential year ending in a zero, meaning it will reverberate for a decade thanks to the coming redistricting. There are not a dozen Republican Senate seats that could fall, as Democrats suffered in 1980, but Joe Biden may well replicate Ronald Reagan’s 10-point victory over President Carter. The odds are it will be a bit less, perhaps in the 53 to 44 percent range, with 3 percent going to independents and write-ins, half of the number from four years ago.

    We’ll soon know. It won’t be long now.

    11 Personnel Podcast is once again very good…

    [me note: that’s here: http://theramshuddle.com/topic/11-personnel-donald-shines-podcast-2/ ]

    Basically if you had to pick one unit before the season that would be clear-cut top 5 and one that was struggling, which would you have picked (offense or defense)?.. Considering the installation of a brand new scheme and how it had to be phased in gradually (with no preseason) the first 4-5 games the defense overall has been remarkable.

    Offensively, something is wrong when you have an experienced HC leading the offense, OC, etc. and still have breakdowns like what we saw Sunday. It’s not the first time they saw zero pressure defense and they should have known (from the Super Bowl vs. NE) it was coming. They don’t script the offense at all but, when you seemingly have trouble making in-game adjustments when things go wrong, maybe you should. Adjustments made vs. MIA were made WAY too late. Empty sets weren’t working at all yet they were slow to abandon them. The Dolphins came in pressuring QBs 36% of the time and were terrible vs. the run (allowing 5.0 YPC) and yet the Rams weren’t adequately game planned and prepared for it (though “held” Dolphins to 33% pressure rate…).

    Re: Goff- he IS a limited QB. But then so are all QBs but probably Mahomes and Wilson. Same limitations he shows now he had in 2017 and 2018- and he was very good in both of those years. He has shown he can lead and excel in this offense but fair to say he was terrible this week- that may have been his worst game since 2016. Was facing a top-10 defense. Again, have to check out of things or recognize they’re coming. The talk of replacing him (Wolford, trade, etc.) is total nonsense. Has to look to his right under pressure better and HAS TO hold onto the ball (take a sack vs. forcing it).

    After watching the sack fumble play, I have no doubt in my mind that DH missed the assignment,

    Because after that play, the RAMs had the exact same play but in reverse, and Brown motion across to block the DE on Whit side.

    Rams hold Dolphins to under 100 yards passing and under 60 yards rushing. They are the only team in the NFL to hold a team to under 100 passing and under 80 rushing in the same game — and they’ve done it twice.

    Sean McVay on RB Cam Akers through the Rams’ first 8 games, what he wants to see out of Akers through second 8:

    “I think the (rib) injury at Philly really set him back a handful of weeks where he missed a lot of opportunities that he would’ve gotten.”

    McVay said some of the touches Akers got vs. Washington and Miami showed “an extremely dynamic, exciting player” that they’re confident has a “bright future.”

    Moving forward, McVay wants to see Akers continue to “mature, ascend and learn how to compete without the ball.”

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    Editorially speaking, I think this would really REALLY be a benefit to the Rams re. working [Akers] into space in the short-passing game w his ability to make guys miss. But if they were not totally sure about his pass pro/ yet, would make that a little tougher to rep consistently.

    Kurt Warner@kurt13warner
    Dumbfounded that @MiamiDolphins repeatly brought blitz 0 vs @RamsNFL & they never came up w/ an answer!!! Cost them all day long & MIA dropped another Pick 6! Even more amazing when u think same Blitz cost them SB53… How do u not have a plan?

    Anatomy of a Play: How the Dolphins beat Jared Goff with Cover-0 pressure

    Doug Farrar

    * https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2020/11/01/anatomy-of-a-play-how-the-dolphins-beat-jared-goff-with-cover-0-pressure/

    Coming into Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, per Sports Info Solutions, Rams quarterback Jared Goff had faced Cover-0 defenses — a high-blitz scheme with no deep safeties — on just three of his dropbacks. On those three dropbacks, Goff attempted two passes and completed one — to 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett in Week 6, on a red zone situation that obviously calls for no deep safety.

    So, Cover-0 is not something Goff had seen a lot this season. But in 2019, he completed 7 of 16 passes for 71 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions against Cover-0. That said, Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and defensive coordinator Josh Boyer decided to throw more of it right at Goff, and it turned out beautifully — in the Dolphins’ 28-17 win, Goff completed just 35 of 61 passes for 355 yards, one touchdown in garbage time, two back-breaking interceptions, and two lost fumbles — one of which was returned for a touchdown. In the first half, when Miami brought most of its pressure, Goff completed 15 of 32 passes for 136 yards, no touchdowns, both of those picks, and a passer rating of 32.8.

    As edge-rusher Emmanuel Ogbah, who caused the fumble that led to linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel’s 78-yard return, said, “The key to this game was attack Jared Goff.”

    After the game, Rams head coach Sean McVay talked about how difficult it was to handle what the Dolphins were bringing — the pressures that forced McVay out of his preferred empty formations in certain instances, and took Goff out of his ability to cut the field in half with boot-action.

    “They were bringing zero pressures,” McVay said. “We had some answer. We didn’t execute them, and ultimately, the answers were not good enough on my part. That falls on me… we were not in alignment, and the communication wasn’t on par with what the expectations were with how we execute those plays…. those situations never allowed us to get into rhythm.”

    The first interception came out of zero pressure — Miami brought an extra pressure look, and then dropped defensive tackle Christian Wilkins into coverage. Goff didn’t pick that up on a quick pass attempt to Cooper Kupp, and Wilkins had his first career pick.

    It wasn’t just the zero blitzes that took Goff out of his game — Flores and Boyer showed him all kinds of blitzes with all kinds of coverages behind — but as McVay said, it was the zero blitzes, and the ability to combine pressure with the illusion of pressure, that made the difference in this game.

    In a game where the dolphins said “The key to this game was attack Jared Goff” and did so successfully, Sean McVay decided to full Mike Martz by having Goff throw it 61 times.

    For the first time since he took over from Jeff Fisher, fans are starting to question Sean McVay.

    Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
    The Rams threw the ball 61 times against a Dolphins defense that is best against the pass. Miami’s run defense is bad, but Sean McVay wanted no part of pounding the ball

    J.B. Long@JB_Long
    Lot to be positive about. Better record than most; better health than most.

    Sure 5-3 could be 6-2 or 7-1… and the back half of schedule likely will feature better competition.

    But I also don’t think LA has put together many (any?) complete performances. They’re still ahead.

    Biggest victory of the Rams first half has to be that only two projected contributors (Burgess & Howard) won’t dress for a game in the second half of 2020.

    The opportunity to come out of the bye and start Wk10 with your two-deep almost entirely intact is a tremendous advantage.

    Michael Brockers was stunned by how often the Dolphins zero-blitzed Jared Goff.

    I don’t know why the Miami defender was not called for pass interference on that play.

    The ball hasn’t reached the Rams receiver yet, but the defender tackles him anyway.

    I think Goff has reached his ceiling. He’s not going to get better than he is now. He’s still good enough to win with, but he’s likely not going to be more than a second level QB.

    I don’t agree.

    First I don’t agree that he has reached his ceiling.

    Second I see him having a weakness–even with a run game and a solid OL, he struggles against teams that can BOTH bring pressure AND execute strong coverage.

    Which btw describes both SF and Miami.

    But that’s just SO FAR he has been flawed in those games.

    Meanwhile Washington is 4th on defense and that defense is 6th in pressure percentage, but the Rams ran the ball on them 35 times.

    And Miami’s offense gained exactly 1 less yard against the Rams defense than Washington’s did.
