EAGLES GAME

==

I talked to seven current and former Kenosha cops and a Kenosha prosecutor in the weeks after Jacob Blake was shot 7 times. They described a police department bereft of diversity, steeped in racism and willing to break the law to cover up for their own. https://t.co/AP1NIQSASl

No update on Akers, Brown or Noteboom from McVay

Dan Orlovsky@danorlovsky7
The @RamsNFL ran 67 plays today on offense. Sean McVay used pre snap motion or quick count (get up to ball and snap it right away) 36 times times. Clinical attack. Never allow a defense to play settled…

Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
Here’s a breakdown of Jared Goff’s 13-for-13 start today:

9-of-9 for 116 yards & a TD off play action
6-of-6 for 62 yds & a TD against the blitz
4-of-4 for 42 yds, 4 first downs & a TD on 3rd down
3-of-3 for 23 yards & a TD under duress

HoldenCantor@HoldenCantor
David Edwards really came in today and balled like that job was supposed to be his

It’s only 2 games obviously but fwiw, last year an avg. of 18 points a game allowed on defense would rank 3rd.

Van Jefferson might already be WR3

Jefferson has seemingly surpassed Josh Reynolds as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart, especially after his performance against the Eagles. He caught four of the five passes that came his way, turning them into 45 yards with a long of 21.

Jefferson’s route running was on display against the Eagles and showed why the Rams were so high on him in the draft. Two of his catches came on third down, too, though one of them was just short of the sticks.

Reynolds finished with only two catches on two targets for 33 yards with a long of 20 yards. The Rams will continue to give both players snaps, but Jefferson looks good in the early goings.

Kylo RN@real_kylo
Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown combined for 168 yards today on 25 touches. So much for missing Todd Gurley

TurfShowTimes@TurfShowTimes
Season is unfolding nicely for #Rams and the schedule will get easier

Joe Curley@vcsjoecurley
Doubted after significant changes, Los Angeles Rams look like an NFC contender after 2-0 start

PFF LA Rams@PFF_Rams
Philadelphia’s usually elite pass-rush was barely able to affect Goff all game, putting him under pressure on just nine of 45 dropbacks.

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
This is one of those games so full of great moments and gut-out situations that as a sportswriter you just really miss a postgame locker room for details and adequate followups, context checks, etc. for the fans and readers. Zoom rushed assembly line just isn’t the same.

(I know, this is not a real problem contextually and we are lucky but I just miss really getting into those moments…as Sean McVay says, “this Zoom stuff is for the birds.”)

McVay says Darious Williams made one of the plays of the game with the pick and that Darrell Henderson was a real bright spot.

That’s a big moment for Troy Hill, who switched over this summer for only about two weeks of live work at nickel and, despite some inconsistency, has put a little more together there every week.

Still some things to iron out in this pretty young Rams secondary but it’s promising to see how everybody swarms to the ball and stepping up in those types of situations.

still some things to iron out in my grammar and sentence structure, too. lack of a preseason hurts here.

Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
“We feel like a physical bunch… we’re popping our pads and hearing good collisions,” Sean McVay on the Rams defense.

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Jalen Ramsey’s name was barely called today. He had one tackle and no PBUs.

Yet, it’s a sign of his dominance. Carson Wentz refused to test him, and understandably so

Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
Rams QB Jared Goff on the front office’s personnel changes: “Every year they make moves and people question them and doubt them, and every year it turns out to be the right move. I don’t know why people keep questioning them and doubting them.”

BTHRams@BTH_Rams
Paradoxically, one unit that deserves credit for the offensive gameplan and execution?

The defense.

If the #Rams needed to chase points, they wouldn’t have been able to keep things simplified. Defense lightening the load for Goff & O-line.

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
It’s rare that the Rams go an entire game without a single tackle for loss or sack, but they had zero of either today.

And still played well defensively, for the most part

DOWNTOWN RAMS [DTR]@DowntownRams
Love the trips formation with Higbee there. Offensive creativity this season

Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
The @Rams look like a playoff team

Colin Cowherd@ColinCowherd

Field Yates@FieldYates
DeAndre Hopkins now has 20 catches (and counting) in his first two games with the Cardinals. That’s the most catches for any player in his first two games with a team in NFL history

Instant impact.

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
That was a 7-point fumble by Kupp – a punt he should’ve let go in the first place.
