Reeder is the lowest rated defender.

Really like what I am seeing from Warren McClendon. Rating higher then Havenstein and thus ensuring Big Rob can be 100% when coming back. Although they could stick with McClendon as he is the future and the future is now.

I agree.
He has certainly looked better. At the least it allows the team to not rush Havenstein back. Same with Puka and the WR/TE depth.
No need to rush.
One thing for sure, if he can maintain this level of play that is a major plus as Rob gets to the end of an all time great (if the Rams had a ring of honor.....and why don't they?.....Rob would be in it) Rams career.

Fiske has been very disruptive. On the very 1st play of the game he is the one that flushed Lawrence to Verse, for example.

One thing that is really enjoyable is the DL/Edge group working together. Running stunts, edges pushing QBs back inside etc.
This extends to guys like Davis, Murcheson and Hamilton....Murch has two sacks this year....I think the pashrush as a group has matured together this year.

Jimmy G had a rating on that one post.

Byron Young is just a perfect fit in this pass rush. He wins on his own enough.. but his sub-4.5 speed and relentless motor makes him the ultimate "clean up" guy on top of his own pass rush work.

Tutu>Whittington>Mumfield.

Whittington leaves meat on the bone on those screen plays, and he’s had some drops.

Tutu isn’t targeted as much but he probably has the second best hands on the team behind Puka. Tutu’s ability to draw pass interference penalties needs to be taken into consideration. He’s a big reason we beat the Colts and almost beat the Niners.

Devante would like a word... oh wait, 2014-2024 Devante would like a word.

Also on the defensive side I am very happy with what I've seen of late of Williams. He has covered well and actually been aware of the ball and playing it, which was badly needed. So if Spoon returns in the good form he was showing from that late season stretch on, and Williams keeps this up, our defense will be very tough.

We still could use a corner in trade. But it will be a big deal for us if Williams can continue playing how he has been.

Looks like the CB he was a couple years ago. Appears to be a guy that has full trust in the front seven and is using his instincts to be productive.
