Justin Herbert was pressured on 68.3% of his dropbacks per @NextGenStats (6/14 for 112 with an INT) and only saw a blitz on 12.2% of his dropbacks (obv Fangio doesn’t like to blitz if he can get base pressure).

To win a game despite that % is…breaking my brain.

Obviously you need a massive game from defense and special teams. But you also need a massively poor game from other offense. Whew man. 68.3%.

Breaking Down the Top-5 Offensive Lines

The Bears revamped their offensive line this past offseason, and it has paid off in a major way as they are currently the best unit in the league with an 88.9 OLi grade. Chicago leads the NFL in average time to throw (3.29 seconds), average time until pressure (4.57 seconds), and average time to sack allowed (4.56 seconds). Chicago has allowed pressure within 2.75 seconds on just 10.3% of dropbacks, which is second-best in the league. Their 4.5% sack rate is sixth-best in the NFL. On the ground, the Bears average 1.37 yards before contact (second-best) and 4.7 yards per rush (seventh-best).

Next up is the Rams, who are leading the league in average yards before contact (1.49) on designed rushes and averaging 4.8 yards per rush (fifth-best). In addition to their impressive run blocking, Los Angeles has a 4.1% sack rate (second-best) and a 31.4% pressure rate (fourth-best). They have allowed just 17 sacks (third-best).

I'm convinced Stafford takes redefining what a tight window is as a weekly personal challenge https://t.co/AZZ0hFZ09a

Rookie LB Shaun Dolan currently ranks T-10th in the NFL in special teams tackles (15). It’s the most for any rookie in the NFL this season.

Wyatt Miller@wymill07
Since their bye week, the Rams’ run game has been the most efficient in the league based on multiple metrics.

They rank 1st in EPA per carry, success rate, early-down success rate, late-down success rate and first-down rate, all by large margins, since Week 9.

Sean McVay said OC Mike LaFleur was the one relaying the play calls to QB Matthew Stafford in Sunday’s win over Cardinals

Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
Rams TE Colby Parkinson on Matthew Stafford:

“He understands the game unlike anyone I’ve played with before.”

Stafford’s 35 TD passes are 9 more than any other QB this season.

The tight ends have been a key piece of that with 10 TDs, including 4 from Parkinson.

Sarah Barshop@sarahbarshop
Stafford has 35 touchdown passes, which is 9 more than the next closest QB.

It’s the 6th time over the last 30 seasons a QB has at least 9 more TD passes than the next closest player through Week 14.

The previous five times, that QB won the NFL MVP.

Sosa Kremenjas@QBsMVP
Warren McClendon Jr. has given up 0 sacks and 6 pressures this entire season.

Rams Bros.@RamsBrothers
Rob Havenstein will be great depth in the post-season. But there’s no way in hell he enters the starting lineup again with how well Warren McClendon is playing.

Rams found their RT of the future. And he’s homegrown.

…

ME: A testimony to both the personnel people and the OL coach.

Rams starting tackles, with Hav sidelined…or at least their projected 2026 OTs…are a UDFA at LOT and a 5th rounder at ROT. Both playing well.

Finding a low-round pick who can play ROT is not rare (eg. Miller in 99, who was a 5th rounder). Finding a good franchise LOT as a UDFA is very rare. And I can’t think of any team that did both things on the same OL.

I actually left the TV to go do some other stuff right when Garappolo came i

Garappolo did not throw a single pass after he came in. They ran the ball 5 times with Ronnie Rivers for 27 yards to kill the clock and then Garappolo took the knee a couple of times.

Remember Howard Balzer from St. Louis? He covered the Cards in that city before the Rams. After the Rams moved back to LA he was hired in Phoenix to cover the Cards again.

This is the sardonic tweet he sent as the game was ending:

Howard Balzer@HBalzer721
Even Ronnie Rivers averaging 5.1 yards per rush

Anyway I know what you mean about Nacua. In he many ways he does not have the superb level of route running and finesse we expect from elite receivers, cause we’ve been spoiled (starting with the 80s, it’s been Ellard, Anderson to an extent, Bruce, Holt, Kupp, Beckham, and now Adams). But he is so clutch and has magnificent hands, he works sideline catches better than anyone, and is tough as they come. So he’s absolutely a pure receiver, just not the magic dancer kind–he’s more like a TE in a receiver’s body. Either way, he and Stafford have an uber level connection and he just comes through, he has hands like magnets, he adjusts his body in mid catch like nobody else, and there’s usually a lot of physical impact involved, either him being hit by defenders (or running into them) or hitting the ground outstretched to take the crash on the length of his body while protecting the ball. He doesn’t have perfect receiver skills in some respects but in other respects he has other high-end receiver skills in spades.

I like the vid of Verse on the sideline open mouthed speechless in astonishment at Nacua’s TD catch against Seattle:

Most total yards for the Rams in a single game under Sean McVay:

556 — 2018 Week 4 vs. Vikings
549 — 2019 Week 13 vs. Cardinals
530 — Sunday vs. Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR
Through a player’s first 30 career regular season games, Jared Verse has passed:

– Nick Bosa (135) for the third-most pressures

– Joey Bosa (92) and Aidan Hutchinson (93) for the most hurries in a player’s first 30.

– Von Miller (41) and DeForest Buckner (41) and tied Josh Hines-Allen (42) and Will Anderson Jr. (42) for the 6th-most QB hits.

As we all know, Puka one hand? No Problem. Nacua is a human highlight reel!
