You're not missing anything. It's just a nice pic of Robert Quinn. Maybe tomorrow they will have some quotes from him.

Refocused: Los Angeles Rams 46, Indianapolis Colts 9

The Rams came out scorching, going up 10-3 on the strength of a CB Trumaine Johnson interception return for a touchdown. In the second quarter, a RB Todd Gurley rushing touchdown and a QB Jared Goff to WR Cooper Kupp touchdown connection put the the Rams way ahead.
Not much changed in the second half, although the Colts did get a RB Marlon Mack rushing touchdown. They would go on to lose 46-9 to the Rams however. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.
TOP 5 GRADES:
DB Lamarcus Joyner, 93.1 overall grade
CB Trumaine Johnson, 89.8 overall grade
T Rob Havenstein, 81.4 overall grade
EDGE Ethan Westbrooks, 81.0 overall grade
G Jamon Brown, 80.8 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
QB JARED GOFF, 80.7 OVERALL GRADE
This was as good as Goff has looked in the pros. You can debate how easy the Colts made it for him but there’s no doubt he looked more comfortable than at any point in his rookie year. He spread the ball out to what suddenly looks an exciting trio of receivers and showed a willingness to work it downfield with eight attempts over 10 yards in the air, going four-of-five on his deep ball attempts.
WR COOPER KUPP, 75.8 OVERALL GRADE
It could have been a better day for Kupp, who dropped a gimme and then got flagged in a bad series for him. But that shouldn’t take away from the fact he was the most targeted receiver by Goff and got down the field for two deep ball grabs. To say he hit the ground running would be something of an understatement and the Colts had a tough time getting close to this savvy route runner. 3.17 yards per route run currently leads all rookies and is fifth most of all receivers for the week.
DB LAMARCUS JOYNER, 93.1 OVERALL GRADE
Joyner had a stellar outing against Colts’ backup QB Scott Tolzien. Joyner was targeted four times in coverage, and he came away with an interception returned for a touchdown, a pass breakup, and allowed just one catch for a measly three yards.
CB TRUMAINE JOHNSON, 89.8 OVERALL GRADE
Johnson found similar success in coverage against the Colts’ offense. He came away with an interception of his own, and gave up two passes on five targets. Johnson and Joyner combined to allow just two catches for 24 yards to WR T.Y. Hilton on six targets, including both interceptions.
TOP 5 GRADES:
TE Jack Doyle, 83.3 overall grade
G Denzelle Good, 81.6 overall grade
DI Al Woods, 80.3 overall grade
DI Margus Hunt, 80.2 overall grade
EDGE Tarell Basham, 78.3 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
TE JACK DOYLE, 83.3 OVERALL GRADE
Doyle had just two catches in the game, but both went for 20-plus yards and first downs, with a combined 25 yards after the catch coming against Rams’ linebackers in coverage. The Colts as a whole did not block well in the run game, but Doyle had a few nice blocks to open up some rushing lanes.
RB MARLON MACK, 40.0 OVERALL GRADE
Mack’s first outing as a pro was a perfect example of the college career that we saw from here over the last few years. He showed off his athleticism and big play ability with a 21 yard catch and run with a missed tackle forced, and 25 yard run where he was able to get to the edge.
He didn’t have as much success inside though and he also fumbled within his first 11 NFL touches, a seeming continuation of his 12 fumbles in college. He showed the ability, and if he can improve his ball security and be a bit more consistent, he may carve out a decent role as a rookie.
DI AL WOODS, 80.3 OVERALL GRADE
It may have been a lopsided affair, but the Colts actually did a good job shutting down the Rams running game. At the heart of that was Woods, who was a nuisance all afternoon, doing a good job clogging up A gaps on inside runs while impressing in getting across the face of linemen when the Rams stretched it out. In a defense seemingly always in rebuild mode, perhaps Indianapolis has found someone to stick around.
EDGE JABAAL SHEARD, 45.2 OVERALL GRADE
Perhaps the biggest free agent move for a defense in need of talent, and most definitely not the start anyone in Colts blue wanted. Sheard was ineffective, logging as many tackles as ones he’s missed, while most importantly failing to register a sack, hit or hurry. That will need to improve if Indy are going to improve on defense.

Joyner looked really good out there. He's very aggressive out there at Safety, and he played guys tight without getting flags thrown....
great day all around

Any word on Webster.... I know he left with an injury, but I didn't notice if he came back.

Is it just me, or what!? It seems Like PFF was being over critical when they where grading the Rams Players, and gave them lower grades than they deserved, for the most part!You're not missing anything. It's just a nice pic of Robert Quinn. Maybe tomorrow they will have some quotes from him.

Come on man.
It was Gurley and the offensive line that softened up the defense by beating on them for three-and-a-half quarters and then fresh as a daisy Malcolm Brown jumps off the bench to finish them off.
I mean that is the way it's supposed to work and props to Malcolm Brown but he's no Gurley. ( as of yet anyway )

Gurley's foot speed in the open field makes Malcolm Brown look like he's got the foot speed of Sean Mannion.

The theme over at PFT this morning from Mike Foolio is not that the Rams were good but that the Colts are terrible. He couldn't even spell "Rams" correctly.

Rams defense makes history (thanks to bad Colts offense)
Posted by MikeFlorio Foolio on September 10, 2017

The new-lookRans Rams have started things off with an impressive win over the Colts, thanks in large part to a suffocating defense. Or maybe a suck-offating Colts offense.
Either way, the Rams became the first team in league history to rack up a pair of pick-sixes and a safety in a season opener. That’s a stat cultivated and circulated by the NFL.
The touchdowns off of interceptions were scored by cornerback Trumaine Johnson and safety Lamarcus Joyner. Defensive end Morgan Fox added the safety.
One other team started a season with a pair of interceptions returned for a touchdown. The Vikings did it 10 years ago against the Falcons in the game that also featured the debut of Adrian Peterson.

Sean McVay was my coach of the day. The Rams were just plain awful last year, averaging just 14 points a game, by far the worst in the NFL. And Jared Goff was the worst quarterback in the NFL, averaging just 155 passing yards a game. Yesterday, in McVay’s first game as the Rams’ head coach, they beat the Colts 46-9, and Goff totaled 306 passing yards despite not throwing much in the second half after L.A. jumped out to a big lead.
Meanwhile, in Washington — the place McVay left to take the Rams job — the offense struggled mightily, turning the ball over four times in a 30-17 loss to the Eagles. The 31-year-old McVay is an offensive wunderkind, and he’s off to a great start in his first head-coaching job.
The Colts are a terrible franchise masquerading as a good franchise. Think back about how terrible the Colts were before they drafted Peyton Manning. Then think back about how terrible they were when Manning got hurt and missed a full season, allowing them to draft Andrew Luck. And now look at how terrible they were in yesterday’s loss to the Rams with Luck hurt.
For the Colts to go into this season with no one better than Scott Tolzien to quarterback their team was beyond stupid. The Colts happened to have the No. 1 overall pick when Manning and Luck — the two best quarterback prospects of the last 30 years — entered the NFL draft. If not for those two No. 1 overall picks, we’d probably think about the Colts the same way we think about the Browns.

Rams announce paid attendance of 60,128 but far fewer show up
Posted by Charean Williams on September 10, 2017
If the Rams win a game and no one is there to see it, does it make a sound?
The Rams announced a paid attendance of 60,128, but judging by the pictures on social media, far fewer people than that showed up. The Coliseum seats 90,000, and it looked less than half full.
That’s with tickets going for as low as $6.
But if the Rams keep playing like they did in Sunday’s 46-9 victory over the Colts, their crowds are sure to grow.
Notes to fans in L.A.: Good seats are still available.

Speaking of good seats available... My seats for next weekend are available. Again. A "friend" of mine "bought" them two weeks ago. I spoke with him this morning asking where the check might be. "Oh...uhh... that's next weekend? Oh...ummm...we ummm...we can't go. We have to go to a thing...sorry man..." :shocked::redcard::rant::headexplosion:
I miss those old style phones...you can't slam down a cell phone. It's totally ineffective...
Anyway, I've got two really good seats available vs. Washington.
