    No one is playing better at QB than Matthew Stafford. He should be on the top of every NFL MVP list. Watching him play is like poetry in motion. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone with better arm talent at the age of 37.

    still can’t get over how the Rams lost the best DL of a generation and have come as close as you can to recreating him in the aggregate.

    I’m gonna be straight up with you guys, this may be the best red zone defense I have ever seen on the rams… like ever.

    According to Elias, Matthew Stafford has thrown 27 straight passing touchdowns without an interception, the longest streak by any player since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978.

    Los Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR
    In today’s game against the Buccaneers, OLB Jared Verse recorded the first multi-sack game of his NFL career (2.0).

    Rams Wire@TheRamsWire
    Davante Adams says he’s never had this much fun playing football

    Los Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR
    CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr. has recorded a pass breakup in each of his last four games, tied for the second-longest streak this season.

    Next Gen Stats@NextGenStats
    Emmanuel Forbes faced seven targets and did not allow a single reception against the Buccaneers. No defender since Week 12, 2022 has been targeted more times without allowing a catch.

    Forbes recorded a career-high 5 passes defensed in the win.

    Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
    Bucs QBs threw 17 incompletions tonight

    10 of them were either deflected or intercepted by Rams defenders

    …

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2025/11/23/rams-buccaneers-week-12-takeaways-win/87442332007/?taid=6923e7a9c9b8e40001d2e318&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    Secondary has become a strength. Even without Quentin Lake, the Rams’ secondary locked down the Buccaneers. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. broke up five passes, Cobie Durant knocked away a touchdown pass and scored his own touchdown on a pick-six in the first quarter and just about every player in the secondary is a sure tackler in the open field.

    With Lake and Ahkello Witherspoon both expected to return at some point this season, the Rams’ secondary is only going to get better as the year goes on. Even right now, Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Durant both look like No. 1 cornerbacks, with Darious Williams also playing well.

    Matthew Stafford was sublime, Davante Adams scored two more touchdowns and the defense scored a pick-six.

    The Rams are 9-2, winners of 6 straight and have the best record in the NFC.

    Doug Farrar@NFL_DougFarrar
    PFF’s initial metrics for Week 12 have Emmanuel Forbes allowing no catches on eight targets.

    That’s about what it looked like.

    Sam Monson@SamMonsonNFL
    Emmanuel Forbes is why people buy low on failed 1st round draft picks.

    The dude’s really becoming something for the Rams.

    Sam Farmer@LATimesfarmer
    Rams’ best defensive performance of the season in terms of yards allowed — passing and total.

    Josh@JoshiosTweets
    Sean McVay owns the highest point differential in the NFL.

    Not only that, it’s the highest point differential through Week 12 of his HC career.

    Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
    The Rams now lead the NFL in point differential at +124.

    They’re at +118 during this 6-game winning streak, with an average margin of victory of 20 points.

    Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
    The Rams have held 9 of their last 17 opponents to 10 points or fewer dating back to last December. Extraordinary.

    In 2024 Rams were in base defense 2nd most time in NFL and were still poor vs run

    In 2025 base defense = 20th in NFL and are good vs run

    doing more with less … a double improvement

    Rams inactives vs. the Bucs:

    K Joshua Karty
    WR Xavier Smith
    RB Jarquez Hunter
    S Chris Smith II
    OL David Quessenberry
    DE Desjuan Johnson

    With Stetson Bennett as the emergency QB.

    Xavier Smith didn’t practice much, so Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield will split WR3 reps.

    headed into wk 12, nacua leads the league in 3rd down catch rate (among players with 20 or more 3rd down targets), he’s the only player with a rate in the 80s.

    his high 86% rate also dwarfs all other rams receivers:

    nacua 86%
    williams 57%
    higbee 46%
    adams 36%

    from the wiki

    Nathan Landman (born 19 November 1998) is a Zimbabwean-American professional football linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes.[1][2]

    Early life
    Landman was born on 19 November 1998, in Harare, Zimbabwe, where his father, Shaun, was playing rugby union. When his family moved to the United States, they settled in Danville, California. He became a U.S. citizen during his second year of college.[3]

    He attended Monte Vista High School and played baseball, rugby union and football.[4] Landman played wide receiver as well as linebacker earning accolades in both positions. Over his four varsity years Landman amassed over 1,000 yards receiving and made over 160 tackles, 15 sacks and 4 interceptions. In his senior year Landman led Monte Vista in a state playoff run. In his final season Landman was the East Bay Athletic League MVP. He was awarded All-NorCal High School Football Team by MaxPreps and East Bay Defensive Player of the Year by the San Jose Times. He was named to all district and state teams for his final two seasons.

    Landman was ranked as the 5th best linebacker and 57th best player in California by ESPN. Scout.com had Landman as high as 2nd and 33rd.[5][6][7]

    College

    Landman had offers from multiple major Division I programs, including Arizona, Boise State, Colorado State, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon State, Washington State, and Wyoming.[8] Landman committed to Colorado on 20 July 2016.[9]

    College career
    Landman was given significant playing time as a true freshman, playing mostly special teams but also on defense. In his college debut against Texas State, Landman recorded one tackle for a loss. Later that year against Utah, Landman had six tackles and a forced fumble in a starting role.[10] Landman came into the 2018 Colorado football season as a starter; in the first game, he made a career-high 16 tackles[11] and had an interception against rival Colorado State.[12] Landman continued with 13 tackles and another interception against Nebraska on national television.[13]

    Landman finished the season with 104 total tackles (64 solo), four sacks, and two interceptions. In early 2019, Landman received an All-Pac-12 Conference from the coaches and media.[14][15][16][17]

    Professional career

    Atlanta Falcons
    Landman signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent on 2 May 2022.[20] He made the Falcons’ initial 53-man roster out of training camp. He was released on 10 December 2022, and re-signed to the practice squad.[21] As a rookie, he appeared in seven games in the 2022 season.[22] He signed a reserve/future contract on 9 January 2023.[23] In the 2023 season, he appeared in 16 games and made 14 starts. He finished with two sacks, 110 total tackles (66 solo), one interception, three passes defended, and three forced fumbles.[24]

    On 16 September 2024, Landman was placed on injured reserve.[25] On October 12, 2024, Landman came off injured reserve and was activated to the 53-man roster. [26]

    Los Angeles Rams
    On March 18, 2025, Landman signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. [27] He was named a starting inside linebacker to begin the season. In Week 1 against the Houston Texans, he forced a fumble, had 10 tackles, and earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.[28][29]

    Why Landman and not Jones?

    Theory:

    1. Jones is good but he’s not as effective as Landman. Landman is one of the reasons the Rams can play dime defenses a lot while also stopping the run. So he has schematic value, not just individual player value–he allows you to scheme in things like the Rams run-stoppin dime defense.

    2. Jones does not quite fit the Rams model of team leader. I am not judging that, just noting it. Landman seems more “Rams corporate” in his leadership style, while Jones was more rough-edged and outspokenly contentious.

    Jones was very WWE. Landman is more like Woody from “Toy Story.” While also being a honed-in field assassin with some range in his skills.

    How Chris Shula’s Hybrid Defense Dismantled the Jaguars
    A deep dive into the Fangio-Phillips hybrid that’s taken the Rams to the top of the NFL’s defensive charts.

    Cody Alexander

    https://www.matchquarters.com/p/chris-shula-rams-defense-hybrid-scheme

    Against the Jaguars in London, Shula’s defensive acumen was on full display. Trevor Lawrence had a season low QBR of 13.0 (ESPN). Though rookie Travis Hunter went for over 100 yards, the offense only mustered seven total points.

    The Rams’ defense used multiple attacking styles to keep the Jaguars off balance. From pressures to coverage rotations, Shula seemed to have an answer for everything. The Jacksonville offensive line has struggled all season, and the Rams’ defense took full advantage with seven total sacks.

    The use of Cover 3, combined with sub-packages, allows Shula to disguise coverage through post-snap rotations to confuse quarterbacks. Closed-Post coverages flood the underneath zones and limit explosives in the Post. By eliminating quick intermediate throws and forcing the quarterback to hold the ball, the elite pass rush of the Rams has time to hit home, which they did in London.

    Overall, the Rams’ secondary matches the NFL league average, but leans more toward Cover 3 (zone) than Cover 1 (man). In ‘25, LA is currently second in EPA/play when running zone coverage (FTN). Part of that surge in success has been the alignment within the secondary in year two under Shula.

    Under Shula, the Rams have run the most Dime in the NFL for the past two seasons. Part of that has been their front structure, but the main culprit has been the surge in play for Nickel Quentin Lake. The fourth year Safety has become the critical piece in the Rams ’ sub-package heavy defense.

    Though LA is 28th in Nickel usage (five DBs), they are first in Dime (six DBs). Currently, Lake is ranked fourth in Slot Havoc by Field Vision. Veterans Safety Kam Curl and CB Darious Williams are also excelling in the zone-based system created by Shula.

    Mina – “…the god damn rams”

    To be fair, though, they actually cover the game–albeit entirely from a Seattle perspective–at 36:00 in. Mina points out that the Rams rattled Darnold with interior pressure while also playing dime, which means they were stopping the run in dime, and that throws things way off for the Seahawks.

    And that, my friends, is Poona Ford and Nate Landman (+ development and coaching, ofc).

    The Rams would have lost this game last year.

    Yeah if they were stopping the run in dime, that means that there was no way for Seattle to either slow the pass rush or get the extra DBs off the field. Seattle had 135 yards rushing but that’s on 35 carries, which is less than 4 yards per carry (3.85 to be exact). (Plus that number is inflated by Walker’s run of 25 yards, which means on the other 34 rush attempts they were averaging 3.2 a carry). Basically the Rams just said run all you want, we’re still playing 6 DBs–Darnold has to throw against pressure into dime sets.

    According to snap counts, Landman played on 96% of the Rams defensive snaps.
