If you care about such things.

Nothing surprising. Was wanting to mention how A'Shawn Robinson had a really good game and seemed to be everywhere last night. PFF agrees apparently so thought that was worthy since he's gotten some shit lately from fans. CBs are no bueno though, yeesh.


Rams PFF grades: Best and worst performers in Week 9 loss to Titans​

The Rams have had weeks where they looked like the best team in football. Then, they’ve had performances where they lay an egg and cause fans to wonder if this team is any better than the Rams squads they watched in the last two years.

Sunday was one of those nights where Los Angeles looked out of sorts and completely overmatched. Tennessee cruised to a 28-16 win at SoFi Stadium, beating the Rams in their own building without Derrick Henry.
Understandably, there weren’t many banner performances for Pro Football Focus to highlight in their game grades. Below are the best and worst on offense and defense, as well as other notables.
Top 3 offense

Surprisingly, two of the Rams’ three highest-graded offensive players were linemen. Whitworth played well and didn’t allow a single pressure, but Rob Havenstein gave up four pressures and two sacks, so it’s shocking that he earned a respectable grade of 71.7 because Denico Autry and the Titans’ other pass rushers made it look easy against him.
Woods put together a solid game with seven catches for 98 yards, including a 22-yarder and a 6-yard rush. He was also great as a run blocker, earning a grade of 90.7 in that department.
Top 3 defense
  • OLB Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: 90.8
  • DE A’Shawn Robinson: 90.4
  • DT Aaron Donald: 88.6
Okoronkwo continues to play at a fairly high level in a limited capacity at outside linebacker. He had three pressures, a half-sack and one stop in only 18 snaps played, 10 as a pass rusher. That was tied for the most pressures on the team Sunday night, making an impact despite not playing much.
Robinson was stout against the run, making four stops and also generating one pressure as a pass rusher. Donald was in the backfield often with three pressures and three stops, finishing with two QB hits and a tackle for a loss to go with his sack.
Bottom 3 offense
  • TE Tyler Higbee: 54.7
  • WR Van Jefferson: 52.1
  • QB Matthew Stafford: 52.1
This was by far the worst performance of Stafford’s Rams tenure up to this point. He was the lowest-graded offensive player with at least 10 snaps. He was pinned with three turnover-worthy plays and finished with two interceptions, struggling for most of the night.
Van Jefferson had one drop on a throw that should’ve been caught deep down the middle for a huge gain, so his grade was lower as a result of that mistake. Tyler Higbee was given an unsightly 20.1 pass-blocking grade, though he only had two snaps where he was blocking in pass protection.
Bottom 3 defense
  • CB Robert Rochell: 57.6
  • CB Dont’e Deayon: 56.9
  • CB Darious Williams: 54.9
See a common trend with these three players? Outside of Jalen Ramsey, the secondary did not play well. Deayon gave up three catches for 18 yards on five targets, which was the best of the three. Williams allowed three catches for 36 yards on three targets and missed one tackle on third down. Rochell played the least of the three and allowed just one catch for 10 yards on a single target.
The Titans didn’t throw for many yards, but there also wasn’t much resistance from the secondary when Ryan Tannehill did drop back to pass.
Other notables
  • S Jordan Fuller: 87.7
  • CB Jalen Ramsey: 79.9
  • NT Greg Gaines: 76.6
  • WR Cooper Kupp: 68.2
  • RB Darrell Henderson Jr.: 66.8
  • C Brian Allen: 59.7
Fuller barely missed out on a top-three defensive grade but he deserves recognition for the job he did tackling in the open field. He made three stops and a team-high seven total tackles, also breaking up one pass.
Ramsey had a terrific interception and allowed three catches for 20 yards on five targets, coming up and making two stops, as well.
Gaines was tied for the most snaps played on defense and he turned it into just one run stop and two pressures – including a half-sack. He played well in place of Sebastian Joseph-Day.
On offense, Kupp was fourth on the team but it was his second-lowest grade of the season. He finished with 11 catches for 95 yards. Henderson was running effectively with 55 yards rushing on 11 carries, earning the fifth-highest grade on offense. And as for Allen, he allowed four pressures and committed one penalty, so he’s had better performances this season.

Well when the receiver can run 10 yards before even encountering the CB who is playing 10 to 15 yards off the receiver - that defense just boggles the mind

The pass rush was fairly heavy all game but Tannehill was allowed to throw within 1.5 secs to open receivers who had gone 5 to 8 yards

Oko and Lewis will be great backups behind Von. They both have to work on that contain though, as both those guys completely forget about the edge at times in their rush.

I do want to say there were some good things in that game...

1. Run defense was stout. If the Rams offense hadn't spotted them a TD and played complimentary football things may have turned out differently.

2. Rams run game was there. Just like vs the Cards it looks like prioritizing stopping the pass is the way to go vs our offense. McVay has to be ready to mash when teams do that. IF he wants to get past good defenses in the playoffs.

3. Rams secondary was mostly good. Kind of pissed off at Williams right now tbh but we are still in good shape on the back end they just have to get better at complimenting the rush by snuffing out the short shit.

So it's not like we were rolled in all aspects. Main prob was our pass pro got trucked. McVay really has to have that plan b for when the rush is too much for 9 to counter. He's a pocket QB and can deal with some breakdowns but what we saw last night was too much for him to handle, that's the way it goes.

It makes NO SENSE to me why we aren't playing man with that rush. The zone is effectively killing our rush with easy underneath throws. Infuriating.

I actually though Deayon did good last night, aside from him not shutting his mouth. It's not his fault he's told to give the receivers catching room.

I thought he about ended Petersons career last night on that tackle for a loss.

Not only that, Morris is also trusting his corners to make an open field tackle with 3-4 yards of separation. That is no bueno.

That was one hell of a tackle by a 5 9 player.

The two times i saw him abused last night he was playing man.
I don't remember every play so you could be right on that.

However, I remember the majority of the plays had CBs playing 10 to 15 yards off especially on the 3rd and long plays.

Williams is losing lots of $ this year, which could make resigning him much easier or much easier to let him walk. Jeffersons bad score must be attributed to that long bomb he dropped. It wasn't the easiest of catches, but, as a NFL WR when the ball hits you in both hands, you gotta come down with it. Could have changed the game dramatically.

Biggest hit by a Ram since McCleod almost killed Emmanuel sanders. From what I can remember.
I must have been in the bathroom. I don't remember this hit by Deayon. Was it better than Lewis puncturing Gronk's lung?
