znModeratorI’ve only seen a few minutes of it so far, but I can already tell this is an amazing interview.
znModeratorThey do the Rams game at 50:32 in.
znModeratorWV, so you know, I deleted a post of yours cause Zooey already posted Mina on the Rams/Seattle game, above.
No big. Duplicates can happen in a thread, but it’s just more efficient to delete them. So this time, we’ll let you live. If that’s okay with Zooey.

znModeratorAdams told McVay that he’ll be ready to go against the Seahawks this weekend, and McVay has no reason not to trust his receiver. So he expects Adams to be on the field in this pivotal Week 11 game.

znModeratorThey do the Rams game at 1:02:23 in.
znModeratorznModeratorPro Football Focus’ grading system puts into perspective just how dominant the Rams’ run blocking has been this year. PFF has given the Rams a grade of 89.1 in that department, making them the only team with a grade higher than 78.2. They’re miles ahead of everyone else, with the Lions (78.2) and Colts (78.0) ranking second and third, respectively.

1. Los Angeles Rams (Up 2)
This current iteration of the Rams feels like Sean McVay’s zenith. The passing game is excelling, and Matthew Stafford (92.5 grade; 2nd) is playing at an MVP level. The running game, which has often been a point of contention in recent years, is performing well, and the defense is one of the best in the NFL. The Rams cruised past the 49ers 42-26 to set up a collision course with the Seahawks in Week 11. Two of the best will go head-to-head.
…
8. Seattle Seahawks (Up 1)
The Seahawks blew past the Arizona Cardinals to move to 7-2 on the season and come just a little bit closer to making the playoffs for the first time since 2022. This Seahawks team is relentless on both sides of the ball and is top 10 in EPA per play allowed on defense. Two excellent defensive scores lifted Seattle. Although Sam Darnold (93.1 grade; 1st) only attempted 12 passes, the passing game looked like one of the best in the NFL — just as it has all season.

Sean McVay has already said Joshua Karty is “not going anywhere” and “he’ll be on the roster” despite being benched.The Rams can only elevate Harrison Mevis from the PS for 2 more games. After that, they have to make a decision.

November 12, 2025 at 7:53 am in reply to: Assessing Rams offensive schemes since the bye week #159288znModeratorRams added an intriguing TE to their practice squad, fwiw.
TE – Davis Allen. Height: 6’6″. 20 yard shuttle: 4.45
TE – Colby Parkinson Height 6’7″. 20 yard shuttle: 4.46
————-Practice Squad (7th round pick of Vikings in 2022)
TE – Nick Muse, Height 6’5″ 20 yard shuttle: 4.26w
vIt’s the old rule. If yer gonna play 1, you need 2. If yer gonna play 3, you need 4. Rams play 4, so they need 5.
BTW Ferguson was the fastest TE in his draft class. Ferguson: 6’5, 247, 4.6 40 time. He didn’t run a 20 yard shuttle at the combine.

Below is a summary of the top contenders for football’s most prestigious on-field award to this point, assessing each’s candidacy using PFF data — including PFF’s signature Wins Above Replacement [WAR] metric.
QB Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
PFF WAR: 1.98Most of the last eight months have been uncertain for Stafford, from navigating trade rumors to lingering concern about the state of his back in the preseason. Perhaps it’s only fitting, then, that his play this year has been anything but.
At age 37, Stafford is in the midst of his best season yet. The two-time Pro Bowler leads all quarterbacks in PFF passing grade (92.4) and big-time throws (23) and is also the most valuable player by PFF WAR. Stafford has been elite virtually everywhere, slotting second among qualifiers in passing grade under pressure (66.6) and fifth in passing grade when blitzed (81.4). After all, his last six games have featured 15 big-time throws and only five turnover-worthy plays, plus 20 touchdowns to zero interceptions.
With the Rams 7-2 and one of the best teams in the NFL, Stafford is shaping up to be the favorite to take home his first MVP. However, winning the NFC West — which Los Angeles has a 59% chance to do, according to the PFF Power Rankings — may be the key considering the competition, including within his own division.
QB Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
PFF WAR: 1.86Some questioned why the Seahawks would willingly swap Geno Smith for Darnold, especially after the latter displayed cracks in his game at the end of the 2024 season. So far, the move has been a home run for general manager John Schneider.
Through 10 weeks, Darnold is first among quarterbacks in overall PFF grade (93.1) and big-time throw rate (9.0%) while placing second in passing grade (92.3), passer rating (116.5) and WAR. Darnold has made his heyday throwing down the field, producing a staggering 99.5 passing grade on throws past the sticks and a 99.9 mark on deep (20-plus-yard) attempts.
With Darnold leading the charge, Seattle is 7-2 and one of the top teams in football. His two looming head-to-head showdowns with Stafford — starting on Sunday — will be large determinants in deciding the MVP race.
