    Kobie Turner has generated 25 pressures this season, the fourth-most among all defensive tackles. Leading up to last Sunday’s game, he had produced 50 career pressures vs double teams, 9 more than any other player since he entered the NFL in 2023, according to @NextGenStats. His 12.2% pressure rate in 2025 is a career-high.

    Braden Fiske was terrorizing the Jags yesterday to the tune of 8 pressures on a 22.6% pass rush win rate. His 15.5% pass rush win rate this season ranks 6th amongst all DTs and his 19 pressures rank 14th amongst DTs

    via Next Gen Stats: The Rams utilized 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs) on 38.7% of their offensive plays in Week 7, the highest usage rate by an offense in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016).

    Asked Sean McVay postgame yesterday about activating the TEs and Davante Adams in the redzone as part of gameplan and what he liked about it.

    As others have said, predicated in part by personnel availability for both sides (no Puka for LA, no Devin Lloyd for JAX). But McVay still thinks “this is an exciting thing for us to be able to build on.”

    The Rams’ offense has gotten a lot of praise for yesterday’s performance, but the defense was just as impactful, especially on late downs.

    Jacksonville went a combined 5-for-21 on 3rd and 4th downs, which totaled an EPA of -15.4.

    from https://www.turfshowtimes.com/los-angeles-rams-scores-results/128739/rams-takeaways-week-7-jaguars?utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=%3Cmedia_url%3E&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

    Kam Kinchens was, as fans in London might chant, ‘he was here, he was there, he was every freaking-where.’ The second-year safety was all over the field on Sunday. Quentin Lake had his first sack of the season and also had a pass breakup on a third down. Lake has been making plays on a near-weekly basis.

    The Darious Williams revenge game

    After the 2021 season, Darious Williams left the Rams for the Jaguars. Williams got his pay day and then had four interceptions in 2023. The Rams brought him back last season as a familiar face in the cornerback room. He started the season on the bench, but has played well over the last two weeks. Williams arguably had his best game of the season against his former team. While he had a penalty, he also had four pass breakups and was credited with one dropped interception. However, he probably could have had two interceptions. This was the type of performance that the Rams have needed out of their cornerback room.

    Thats high praise comparing him to Boldin.

    Kurt Warner makes the same comparison. Here, at about 6:54 in. Kurt goes on for a bit but then mentions Boldin at the end of his spiel.

    Can you elaborate more on why you think you might struggle in a KC offense?

    Kurt Warner@kurt13warner
    From what I see in the outside, it’s not as defined as I would like! The route combinations don’t always line up with my sense of timing, spacing and putting players in conflict… there is a bit more free-lancing within the structure of plays that is not something I liked!

    I wanted everything detailed and defined by guys around me, so I could be more definitive with my reads and anticipation… more free flowing movement would have given me more hesitation, even though I think I “FEEL” (seeing spaces & openings not everyone can see) the game in a very similar manner to PM2!

    So. You are raising the freelancing debate again. I see.

    w
    v

    Ah but there’s a difference!

    When Kurt changed a playcall he expected the receiver to do precisely what the change entailed. Like the TD to Proehl in the Bux championship game. In that play, Proehl runs a different route than the one assigned by the play, except that Kurt chose the new route. Proehl was supposed to be mechanical within that new framework.

    When he talks about the Chiefs offense, he means there are more options built in where a receiver alters a route during the play in response to what the defense shows. Kurt is saying he was not built to play that kind of offense.

    For example. In being pedantically literal, I am not free-lancing in this post.

    PFF grades:
    Mahommes 62.2
    Geno 67.2

    Mitchell Schwartz@MitchSchwartz71
    Here’s the thing with PFF grades for QBs that it seems like is totally lost on most people who casually see grades:

    1) Their “turnover worthy plays” get graded much more negatively than normal positive plays do, for good reason. Turnover avoidance is hugely important.

    2) If you don’t have any extremely difficult throws then your grade isn’t going to look amazing, especially if you have a TWP or two. A game being “easier” means you don’t have the ability to be positively rewarded for what they call “big time throws,” which skew the grade higher.

    3) Depth of targe matters too. Shorter throws are easier, and if the game develops in a way that the QB is throwing shorter and again, easier, then the grading isn’t going to be as favorable.

    4) You don’t get graded for how difficult your assignment is (at least I don’t think) unless you’re making difficult throws. It’s just grading the read/throw itself on a given play. The fact that KC can run the highest level of offense and put so much on Pat’s plate isn’t factored into the grade. That’s a subjective piece you have to add yourself.

    5) What other easily digestible and quantifiable metric do you like better to evaluate QB play?

    Matthew Stafford faced a season-high 55.9% blitz rate against the Jaguars and threw all five of his touchdowns against the blitz.

    Rams Bros.@RamsBrothers
    Rams knew the Jags defense was starving to rack up more takeaways (they may still be leading the league). They play fast but were undisciplined from the jump. Blitzing a veteran QB who’s gameplan features a ton of TE-heavy personnel groupings and play action boots was a recipe for disaster. Just gave Stafford a better feel/view of the field/control at the LOS + allowed him to execute on explosives (when they presented themselves).

    Everything the Rams did in terms of preparation, gameplan, travel was all PERFECTLY executed.

    Stafford tied Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield for the most TD passes against the blitz in any game since 2016.

    The number of drops #Jaguars players have had today is unreal. It’s crazy… and not the first time it has happened this season.

    The #Jaguars started today’s game with three straight punts.

    Then they missed a field goal.

    Since then, they’ve had three drives reach FG range — went for it on 4th down each time — and failed on all three.
