Film Study: Could the Los Angeles Rams Move To More 12 Personnel in 2019?
The Los Angeles Rams went from using 11 personnel to more 12 personnel at the end of last season. Will Sean McVay utilize two tight ends more in 2019 or will he go back to what got him here?
Over the past two seasons, the Los Angeles Rams have been the home of one of the most explosive and creative offenses in the league under head coach Sean McVay. Since McVay took over, no team has scored more points than the Rams, Jared Goff went from draft “bust” to “franchise quarterback”, Robert Woods has led one of the most prolific wide receiver groups in the NFL, and Todd Gurley became a staple in MVP conversations.
To say the least, McVay’s offense took the NFL by storm.
What makes that even more impressive is that he is doing it with one personnel grouping. The Rams offense isn’t diverse and they don’t show multiple looks. They run everything in one formation. With the Rams, McVay has primarily used the same personnel grouping on the field: three wide receivers, one running back and one tight end – otherwise known as 11 personnel.
In fact, over the last two seasons, the Rams have only used a total of only five personnel groupings which is by far the least in NFL with the Chiefs being the next closest at 12.
In 2017, the Rams ran 11 personnel 81% of the time which was 9% more than any other team in the NFL and way up from the league average of 52%. It was no different last season. In fact, McVay increased his usage of 11 personnel as the Rams ran 11 personnel on an astounding 90% of their plays.
However, that 90% mentioned is slightly misleading. In Week 1-15 the Rams actually ran 11 personnel on an extraordinary 95% of their plays. The next closest in that time span was the Miami Dolphins at 76%. In other words, in Weeks 1-15, the Rams ran 11 personnel 19% more than any other team in the NFL.
No team utilized 11 personnel more than the Rams last season, and only the New England Patriots (5%) and Oakland Raiders (10%) used 12 personnel less (13%)
It makes sense for the Rams to use 11 personnel. With wide receivers Brandin Cooks, Woods, and Cooper Kupp, the Rams are able to have all three on the field along with Gurley and the tight end of their choice. One of the main reasons the Rams are able to get away with this high of a percentage of one personnel grouping, specifically 11 personnel, is because of the blocking abilities of both Kupp and Woods.
While most teams need to insert a second tight end for blocking purposes, whether it be for pass protection or run blocking, Kupp and Woods excel in this area. According to Pro Football Focus, the Rams duo are both ranked in the top-5 when it comes to blocking.
