znModerator15 advanced stats to know from first half of Rams’ season
Cameron DaSilva
* https://theramswire.usatoday.com/lists/rams-advanced-stats-first-half-next-gen/
The Rams are ready to embark on the second half of their regular-season schedule, hoping to improve on their 5-3 start. They have their work cut out for them, facing a grueling slate of games still to come in November and December.
But before we look too far ahead to those upcoming games, we’re taking a look back at some key stats to know from the first half. The following statistics are courtesy of Next Gen Stats and Pro Football Reference, providing some context to the Rams’ first eight games.
1
Jared Goff averaged 2.76 seconds from snap to throw
Goff is near the middle of the pack in average time to throw, getting rid of the ball in 2.76 seconds. That’s the 19th-longest in the NFL and can be attributed to two things. It’s an indication of the offensive line giving Goff a lot of time, but can also relate to him holding onto the ball for a while – sometimes longer than he should.2
Goff has 11th-lowest intended air yards average
The theme of this season for L.A. has been taking what the defense gives you. Goff has rarely pushed the ball downfield, averaging 7.2 air yards per attempt – 11th-lowest in the NFL. Last season, he averaged 7.8 air yards and in 2018, it was 8.8. He’s thrown underneath frequently this year.3
Goff rarely throws into tight windows
Aggressiveness measures how often a quarterback throws into a tight window where a defender is within 1 yard of the receiver at the time of the completion or incompletion. Goff only makes such throws 13.7% of the time, which is 11th-lowest in football. For comparison, Mitchell Trubisky is No. 1 at 31.4%, followed by Joe Burrow (22.4%).4
Goff’s completion percentage is 1% lower than expected
Goff has completed 65.5% of his passes this season, which is 1% lower than his expected completion percentage, according to Next Gen Stats. His -1% differential is 12th-worst among all quarterbacks, which indicates he should be completing slightly more passes than he is.5
Aaron Donald has the fastest sack in the NFL this year
Donald’s fourth sack against the Washington Football Team was also the fastest in the NFL this season. He got to Alex Smith in just 2.17 seconds, knocking the ball out of the quarterback’s hand in a hurry. Keanu Neal of the Falcons has the second-fastest sack (2.2 seconds), followed by Vince Williams of the Steelers (2.26 seconds).6
Rams allow lowest average depth of target in NFL
Opposing quarterbacks simply do not test the Rams much downfield. According to Pro Football Reference, the Rams allow the lowest average depth of target in the NFL at 7.1 yards. That’s tied with the Bills and 2.6 yards better than the Steelers, who are last in the NFL (9.7). The Rams have also allowed the fewest air yards in the league (790).7
Rams are 20th in pressure rate
Despite having Aaron Donald, the Rams still don’t generate enough pressure on quarterbacks. They’re 20th in pressure rate this year with an average of 20.8%. The Steelers lead the league by a huge margin at 36.1%, which is 9.7% more than any other team.8
Rams have missed 9th-fewest tackles
Much was made about the Rams’ tackling issues earlier in the season, with even Sean McVay and Brandon Staley pointing out the problem. But it seems they’ve fixed those struggles, missing just 50 tackles in eight games. That’s the ninth-fewest in football, but is still 23 more than the league-leading Colts.9
Rams allow a pressure rate of just 15.2%
Goff hasn’t been under much pressure this season thanks to improved offensive line play. The Rams have allowed pressures on just 15.2% of Goff’s dropbacks, which is tied for third-lowest in the NFL. That’s quite indicative of how well the line has played in 2020. Like all quarterbacks, Goff is much better when given time in the pocket.10
Goff has attempted most play-action passes of any QB
Play action has been a staple of the Rams offense this year, more so than even in years past. Goff has thrown 106 passes off play action, which is the most of any quarterback. He’s racked up 891 passing yards on those plays, which is second-most, only ranking behind the Josh Allen and the Bills (975).11
Only 8 RBs face more loaded boxes than Darrell Henderson
Teams are focused on stopping Henderson, even though those efforts have mostly failed this season. Henderson has run the ball against loaded boxes (8-plus defenders) 27.37% of the time, which is ninth-most in the NFL. Damien Harris leads the NFL at 39.68%, which is also partly because Cam Newton is the Patriots’ quarterback and is always a threat to run.12
Henderson ranks 4th in rushing percentage over expected
Only three running backs gain more yards than expected at a higher rate than Henderson. He ranks fourth in that department, having 48.4% of his runs go for more yards than expected by Next Gen Stats. Malcolm Brown is much lower on the list at 38.4%.13
Gerald Everett is third in average separation, Robert Woods is 13th
On average, Everett gains 4.2 yards of separation from his defender in coverage. That’s third-best in the NFL, ahead of even George Kittle (4.0). Robert Woods is 13th in that category, creating an average of 3.7 yards of separation on his routes run.14
Everett is last in average targeted air yards
Everett may create a lot of separation, but it doesn’t translate to throws far down the field. He has the lowest targeted air yards of any player in the NFL, averaging 5.3 air yards this season. Tyler Higbee’s targets are also an average of 6.3 yards within the line of scrimmage, which is 14th-lowest in the league. That’s not surprising when you consider how infrequently Goff throws deep downfield.15
3 Rams rank in top 13 of YAC average
The Rams have some of the best players in the league at gaining yards after the catch. That comes down to field vision, ball placement from Goff and sometimes blocking downfield, making it a complete team effort. Woods is sixth in yards after catch per reception (7.0), but Everett (6.6) and Cooper Kupp (6.5) also rank in the top 13 of all players.znModeratorThe main thing these judges have been saying when they toss the lawsuits (so far) is you don’t have any evidence of fraud.

I would not take voter turnout for the green party as any indication of what an actual left/progressive voting bloc might look like. This time around everyone knew the stakes and that meant, for a large percentage, voting for Biden. Meanwhile the number of actual progressives who get voted in, when the DNC lets them run, is interesting. Again, for example, indications are Charles Booker would have actually beaten McConnelly, as opposed to rag-doll whats-her-name.

znModeratorMy fear is we are in danger of losing a peaceful transition unless we exercise the 25th amendment now and to do that we need the Congress which we don’t have at this time. This could end up, god forbid, in invalidating any and all elections. We then have a true dictatorship-which may have been his goal all along.
I think all that stuff is toothless on his part, W. Attempting to maintain the power of a dis-elected president is not only something the military would never support, it would positively resist it. What would he do then–send ICE and militias against the American military?
And there is no Congress that would sanction disavowing direct elections.
I’m not saying he’s going to be all accepting and reasonable.
I’m saying there is really nothing he can actually do to stay in power.
…
znModeratorWell, to be honest, it doesn’t matter that he commands the military. I can’t think of any possible conditions under which the military would act to maintain him in office. If anything they would forcibly remove him. He is no longer president after a certain date and at that point Biden commands the military. And he will have no legal grounds to claim the election is void, no matter what he thinks of the fairness of the vote. His presidency expires. Removing him is easy–at a certain point he just no longer has the right to occupy office, or the white house, or to expect to be able to command the federal government.
znModeratorIn some ways the horrific times for blacks then explains that how in a relatively short period of time (today) the remnants of that prejudice still exist. And its likely to continue albeit declining but slower than it should. Maybe the grandkids of our young adults will be able to live in a relative racist free society. But not in my lifetime or yours.
Sad but true.

znModeratorFirst-half reflections and midseason awards
J.B. Long
https://www.therams.com/news/first-half-reflections-and-midseason-awards
Most Valuable Player – Aaron Donald, DT
He put together another four-sack performance in a win at Washington. He’s the top-rated defender in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. And he’s coming off a career-high grade against Miami.
But just as he wrecks game plans, Aaron Donald also spoils the fun of awards season. So let’s give him the top honor then exclude him from the rest of this column, so that others may participate.
Here are the rest of the Rams 2020 POTFHs (Players of the First Half).
Defensive – Jalen Ramsey, CB
His coverage skills speak for themselves. How about his hits?
Amari Cooper felt his presence in the opener. Kyle Allen was knocked out of the contest in Washington. Golden Tate got his serving at SoFi Stadium. And against the Bears, Javon Wims’ progress was suspended short of the line to gain.
Honorable Mention: Darious Williams has more than held his own across the field as opponents shy away from Ramsey. Where would L.A. be without his diving interception at Philadelphia or equally sensational game-clinching pick versus New York?
Offensive – Andrew Whitworth, LT
38-years-young and playing some of the best downs of his career.
If the offensive line took the fall for the Rams 2019 regression, then their marked improvement has to be the offensive story of the first eight games. Whitworth is the driving force behind it all, as the whole room (and team) takes its cue from him.
Special Teams – Johnny Hekker, P
The lone bright spot in the third phase, thank goodness for all the watermelons Hekker has planted inside the opposing 10-yard line.
Most Improved – Austin Corbett, G and Darrell Henderson, RB
Hate to split the vote, but these two go hand-in-hand, anyway.
As the highest-drafted lineman on the roster, Corbett is proving to be a “steal” relative to the fifth-round selection the Rams sent to Cleveland for his services. Aaron Kromer and Sean McVay have turned his career around, and likewise, he’s stabilized a tumultuous right guard position for L.A.
Meantime, Henderson saw the Rams use their top pick in this Draft on Cam Akers and effectively said, “Not on my watch.” Refusing to cede reps as the number one running back in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus, Henderson has helped this offense thrive despite moving on from Todd Gurley, to the point they’ve become the most efficient running game in the NFL.
Rookie – Jordan Fuller, S
It speaks volumes about the impact that Fuller’s had that he takes this honor handily, despite missing essentially five full games (he only played the first eight snaps at Buffalo).
The breakout star of training camp has become a starter the Rams can’t wait to get back from the injured list after the break.
Comeback – John Johnson, S
Our friend and colleague Kirk Morrison was sharp to pick to Johnson as his defensive POTFH on this week’s Between the Horns. It’s bittersweet to see this fan favorite return from a 2019-ending shoulder injury with a great first half, only because of the fear he’ll price himself out of next year’s roster given the skyrocketing values of high-end safeties.

znModeratormerlin
People keep getting wowed by Hendy but he’s a change of pace back at this level. Akers is going to be the bell cow and once that happens this offense is going to look drastically different and more consistent.
The WCO has always had a far higher dependency on the run game than people realize. McVay’s offshoot scheme is no different and in fact even more dependent since he likes to take shots and stretch the field vertically.
Once Akers settles down the offensive backfield and Jefferson replaces Reynolds this offense will settle in.
McVay will have Goff check to pass if they’re stuffing the box like usual. And if they come with zero blitzes Goff will actually use his outlets and execute the scheme correctly.
Rams will still run the ball just like they did vs Miami. McVay always keeps his offense balanced, it’s up to the players to execute and take advantage of a poor Seattle defense and I see no reason to think they won’t succeed.
He’ll also have “refreshed” route combos in particular the hots. To ensure Seattle can’t blindly follow what Miami did. If Seattle tries to bring a zero blitz the Rams will be ready and Goff will burn them.
Defense has far exceeded expectations. Staley has done a great job of disguising weaknesses. Only poor game was Buffalo and some of it was freakish QB play and scramble drill. His anticipation in scheme is fantastic. He knew that teams would want to attack that right side when Rapp was in there and simplified things for him by moving Hill out and playing Ramsey and sometimes Williams on an island. The guy is for real. Most DCs you’d see those changes over several games and in the mean time that weakness would be exposed but this guy is a step ahead and teams and owners know it.
I love this defense man. Can’t wait to get Fuller back and when that happens we’ll see more dime with Rapp up there next to Kiser and we’re gonna see this unit really settle in for the stretch run.
IMO our weakness is speed in the front 7 and mainly at LB (and when we go dime being able to stuff the run). So the Seahawks loom as a huge test. Can’t wait to see how this defense does. If this really is a top defense they can win vs the Seattle offense and keep their points down. Great defenses do that. So it’s a good test either way.
I think Metcalf gets doubled/a lot of attention of course, and Ramsey goes on their 2. But Staley is an interesting dude in his strategy so we’ll see.
Seahawks’ defense is abysmal. It’s the only poor defense we face in this stretch of games

znModeratorDemocratic leaders play a ridiculous blame game with progressives
If a football coach went into a game saying “we’ll rely on passing the ball,” executed that strategy, lost the game, then blamed the loss on running the ball, everyone would laugh at that coach. And yet that’s exactly the approach Democratic moderates are taking after Tuesday’s disappointing House and Senate results: Reject progressives’ suggestions, then blame those suggestions anyway for their failures.
Remember, from the Democratic primary onward, party leaders warned against running on Medicare-for-all, a Green New Deal and other progressive ideas. That approach, they said, would lead Democrats to lose states such as Florida. (About that…) Instead, Democrats went small, focusing on saving the Affordable Care Act and providing a check on President Trump.
But after the party lost House seats and failed to retake the Senate, the knives are out for the left anyway. On a House Democrats conference call on Thursday, party leaders and moderates blamed their failures on progressives. Majority Whip James E. Clyburn of South Carolina warned against running on defunding the police or socialized medicine. (Since 2007, Clyburn has collected more than $1.2 million from pharmaceutical PACs, among the most of anyone in Congress.) The attacks were best summed up by Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.): “We need to not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again. … We lost good members because of that.”
Spanberger’s view was echoed by Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on “Meet the Press”: “I don’t think the American people want to sign up for the Green New Deal. … I don’t think they’re interested in Medicare-for-all or higher taxes that would slow down the economy.” But this diagnosis is at odds with the numbers. A near-majority of voters in swing districts supported the Green New Deal. Fifty-three percent of Americans support Medicare-for-all (and 70 percent support a public option). In exit polls, 57 percent of voters expressed support for Black Lives Matter. In Florida, while moderate Democrats up and down the ticket fell flat, voters passed the $15 minimum wage that the left has been pushing for years. As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) observed, every swing-district House Democrat who co-sponsored Medicare-for-all kept their seat.
Yet even if we assume that these polls and results are all misleading, as Ocasio-Cortez pointed out on CNN on Sunday, “not a single member of Congress that I’m aware of campaigned on socialism or defunding the police.” It’s understandable that congressional Democratic leaders want to blame something other than their own candidate recruitment process. But if a candidate didn’t run on defunding the police, yet still couldn’t avoid being tied to “defunding the police,” that’s the candidate’s fault. If a candidate ran on reaching across the aisle, yet got defined as a socialist, that’s the candidate’s fault. And if that candidate couldn’t manage to tie his or her Republican opponent to almost a quarter of a million covid-19 deaths in the United States, a tanked economy or a dozen other policy fiascos, at least one of which was probably directly relevant to the candidate’s district, that’s the candidate’s fault.
And it’s the fault of a party that is far behind the times when it comes to campaigning online. During the George W. Bush presidency, Democrats dominated the digital space: Forums and blogs (the so-called Net roots) gave the party an edge in both advertising and organizing. But in 2020, sites like Facebook and (especially) YouTube absorb Americans’ attention spans, regardless of affiliation. Yet Democrats are still playing catch-up from 2016 on the former and have barely begun to mobilize on the latter. Progressives such as Ocasio-Cortez have built their brands in this new online space with techniques the whole party could learn from. Yet leadership has all but ignored their successes.
Offline, things are little better. Black, brown and working-class voters delivered Joe Biden the presidency; the hard work of turning out those voters wasn’t done by the national party this year, but by grass-roots organizers over many years. Stacey Abrams, whose 2018 Georgia gubernatorial campaign cemented the organizational groundwork that turned the state purple this cycle, noted on CNN that “for minority communities, there has to be consistent engagement.” Running away from Black Lives Matter and real health-care reform is the opposite of that approach.
This is not to say there is a one-size-fits-all approach to contesting 100 Senate seats and 435 House seats. But it is simply false to claim that standing up proudly for policies such as Medicare-for-all and a Green New Deal hasn’t worked, when the truth is it hasn’t been tried. For decades, congressional Democrats have run every cycle with a moderate message engineered by moderate, high-priced consultants. When this plan succeeds, the party establishment trumpets their wisdom. Yet when it more frequently fails, the leadership and moderates blame the progressives they rejected the entire campaign. It’s a “heads we win, tails you lose” approach, and it’s a farce. Until congressional Democrats stop punching left and start fixing their mistakes, more disappointments are sure to follow.
znModeratorBy calling Biden a moderate REPUBLICAN is no different than calling him a communist.
He’s not a communist. None of his ideas, beliefs, policies, or political programs match anything remotely like communisim.
His ideas, beliefs, policies and political programs do match those of moderate republicans like the 2 Bush presidents.
znModeratorBut just the fact progressives have to fight another decade to get something the rest of the world has had for ages, says a lot about the Corporotacracy.
Remember when we were on one of the first incarnations of this board and discussing Obama and Clinton and the dem. primaries? Back then discussing M4A (which wasn’t even called that then) was like having a conversation about Latvian medieval history. Very few people were in on that discussion. A lot of what we discussed was ground-breaking. And now? Biden has to openly declare he’s against it. So it’s on the menu. It may take 10 years but more than 10 years ago, it wasn’t even comprehensible discussion to a lot of people.

znModeratorBefore there can be any real progressive movement in this country they have to let the following sink in: Over 40 million people in this country think Biden is either a socialist or a communist.
There is a real progressive movement in the country. In terms of what voters want, when polled, they identify with progressive positions, too. It is also true that unlike more advanced democracies (in Europe for example), the USA is still dealing with good old-fashioned red scare tactics. But I will say this. People who warn us about that kind of thing actually reinforce those tactics. Sometimes I even think that’s the point.
