did you watch the one TFL for Donald when he faked like a head slap and blew by the lineman?? he showed what they mean about "handwork" by a lineman on that play.

I saw that...and I'm not saying Donald doesn't deserve his props...I'm saying Brockers had the better game.
Take a look as the tackle of Lynch that ended the game, Brockers had Lynch by the legs, he beat his man clean. Donald got there after Brocker got him by the legs.
Anyhow this is a great breakdown by ESPN:

Honestly, I can't even fathom, or remember, so many different, worthy, candidates. Team ball. The FO, if I have to give one out.

It's all in the "Team-Work" That's the way the Old Fearsome-Foursome always approached the game!!
And I got that straight from Deacon Jones personally!

That isn't the point though. Obviously it's a team game. The point I make is there are many things other players do that makes others successful as a team.It's all in the "Team-Work" That's the way the Old Fearsome-Foursome always approached the game!!

I listened to ESPN 101 most of the day...and those guys got it right they credited Donald and Brockers with a great game.
This is "after game analysis"...where things get pointed out that help fane see the game from a better perspective.

Michael Brockers is what makes that line tick. he busted up that last play as it was put "blowing by the center" was one quote i heard. he reminds me of another #90 DL from the 70's . Larry Brooks. not always mentioned or being in the spotlight, but when he wasnt there (playoff loss to dallas) you did notice.

Aaron gave The Incredible Brock the credit for stopping Lynch. These DL guys all have a "all for one & one for all" mentality.

The biggest single factor in the win was the play of Foles. The dude made so many clutch passes to sustain drives that I was downright shocked by how good the offense looked. He has energized the receivers and the linemen, they believe in him and have ALL improved their play across the board. That is serious leadership impact on top of his clutch throws. So if there is one game ball it goes to him plain and simple.
If I can give one to the defensive side it's Donald by a landslide. Even Fish said it was the best game he'd seen by a DT, and that is saying a lot. 2 sacks, plus the pressures, plus 9 sacks? Just about unheard of impact from an interior DL. As I have said before enjoy watching him and know that you are watching a Hall of Fame player. Some special stuff.
But like some of you have said I actually hate giving out a game ball in this one given how many players stepped up. Just look at the offense alone. It's crazy. And then Cigs... I'll tell you right now the Seahawks are watching film and recognizing they just got dissected by an outstanding young offensive coordinator. Foles play was outstanding, granted, but the Rams offense is no longer the dumb unit that gets out-schemed on most weeks. For the first time in Fisher's tenure his offense dominated the Seahawks defense and that bodes incredibly well for us this season.
Lastly I think Fish deserves a lot of credit. Swallowing his pride and bringing back Williams as DC is going to pay enormous dividends this season as the offense comes online. And the offensive staff... Taking a risk with Cigs as a first time OC, adding Weinke as QB coach to keep Foles' mechanics and mentality sharp and also adding Garcia whose addition looks to have helped the receivers all look like shrewd moves. He finally has a staff of guys in key positions that are capable of giving him an edge on most Sundays.
I'm praying these guys don't fall flat next Sunday. From that perspective this is another huge game for this young team to demonstrate they can focus and dominate a lesser opponent which is a requirement to be a good team.

I know a few have mentioned it but a Brockers may have played his best game as a Ram. 13 tackles!!
