Power Rankings After Week 6

[SteezyEndo]

A lot of guys need to get more snaps especially Reynolds, and Thomas... Try them out on those long routes, or contested end zone plays where they got length.

 

[Ram65]

Granted they don't know the plays so it's hard to see how they can be on point all the time.

QB Jared Goff - 75.5 #16 QB
WR Sammy Watkins - 74.5 #45 WR
WR Cooper Kupp - 79.3 #20 WR
WR Robert Woods - 72.6 #50 WR

These seem to be ok. Even though Woods is lower he has had the most targets. Goff has come down in the last two weeks.

C John Sullivan - 78.1 #8 C
C Austin Blythe - 53.0 NES
G Rodger Saffold - 77.9 #15 G
G Jamon Brown - 42.9 #50 G
T Andrew Whitworth - 82.4 #7 T
T Rob Havenstein - 70.9 #33 T

About what you would think.

For those interested in this kind of stuff. NES = Not Enough Snaps to be Ranked


RB Todd Gurley II - 74.8 #24 RB (This is insane)
RB Malcolm Brown - 71.0 NES


CB Dominique Hatfield - 66.4 NES
CB Keyvon Webster - 80.4 #34 CB
CB Nickell Robey-Coleman - 82.0 #29 CB
CB Trumaine Johnson - 43.7 #103 CB
CB Troy Hill - 74.2 NES
S John Johnson III - 82.7 #16 S
S Cody David - 77.5 #29 S
S Lamarcus Joyner - 88.7 #3 S
S Marqui Christain - 60.1 NES
S Blake Countess - 46.9 NES
LB Mark Barron - 80.9 #15 LB
LB Alec Ogletree - 33.0 #83 LB (he's been mediocre, but this is ridiculous)
LB Bryce Hager - 64.3 NES
LB Cory Littleton - 75.9 NES
DL Tyrunn Walker - 47.7 #107 DL
DL Tanzel Smart - 43.5 #119 DL
DL Michael Brockers - 85.9 #15 DL
DL Aaron Donald - 95.6 #1 NFL OVERALL
DL Ethan Westbrook - 74.1 #70 DL
DL Morgan Fox - 71.3 #79 DL
ED Connor Barwin - 45.9 #98 ED
ED Robert Quinn - 56.4 #80 ED
ED Matt Longacre - 71.0 #68 ED

Some of these are flat out ridiculous, but thought some might be curious.

Not sure how in the world you can lead the NFL in QB hits, pressures and be 2nd in sacks with some many poorly racked front 7 guys.

Don't know how they rate the running backs. You would think Gurley would be ranked higher. Before this week his YPC was only 4.1 and he did have some fumbles. Keyvon Webster seem to give way too much cushion but, makes some tackles. The defense has come on of late but they have had some bad play earlier in the year. TruJo, Tree and Quinn are not playing well. Donald, Brockers, Barron and Joyner when healthy leading the way.

 

[Rmfnlt]

I know they tout their analysis, down to every play being reviewed.

But, it's always seemed like there's a lot of subjectivity to it... and how qualified are these people who review every play and assign a rating?

I have always had my doubts.

I have always had my doubts.

They don't even know what play was called, who the primary receiver was, etc.

Then they will often vastly change their scores after the All-22 broadcast on NFL Network proving how bad their original score was.

#3 is a reach imo, it's nice to get props like this but it's overblown right now. I say we're in the 5-10 range for sure

I hope the players don't read their press clippings..."Stay hungry my friends" !!!

 

[shaunpinney]

WTH is with "dilly dilly?" The first time I ever heard that expression was from Misterjaw.

I don't know Pally. I hear it has something to do with Game of Thrones.

Dilly basically is an old english way of saying excellent...

So I guess an American version of "Dilly, dilly" would be "Most excellent dude..."

 

[The Ramowl]

I agree with those saying #3 is a bit too high. I would rank us around 9-10ish.

However, this season has a strange feeling of balance, as a lot of recently mediocre teams show some good things (us, Jags, Titans, Bills)

6. Los Angeles Rams (4-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 10

The Rams are a first-place team after six games and still way ahead of any realistic rebuilding schedule under first-year coach Sean McVay after the triumph over the Jaguars. They probably aren’t the team to beat in the NFC West, not after losing to the Seahawks a couple weeks ago. But they show no signs at this point of disappearing from the race.

11) Los Angeles Rams
Last week's ranking: 13

Most recent result: W, 27-17 vs. Jaguars

Why they're here: Sean McVay's offense has been the story thus far for the Rams, but it was the third phase of the game that saved them vs. the Jags. A kickoff return for TD and blocked punt return for TD boosted them to their third road victory in three attempts, a sign that one of football's youngest rosters is playing beyond its age. They're now in first in the NFC West.

9. Los Angeles Rams
2017 record: 4-2
Week 6 ranking: No. 11

The Rams are heading into one of the toughest stretches of the year. Seven of their next eight games are against teams that are currently .500 or better, and six of those games are against conference foes and three will be division games.

Power rankings seriously? I guess they can be fun to debate but after only 5 games they're really meaningless unless they somehow now have playoff implications like in college.

I hope the players & coaches don't read this stuff...geez

It's time to just understand that without GROB, we're good team ya bastid!

*I won't b happy until we're #1 in every power ranking for three years straight!:rockon:

Agreed, 3 is not realistic at this point...

A little known secret about these rankings.
Next week, they'll be different....
