Nice. Can we resume talks about changing the new midfield logo?

SJD is going to morph into the new Brock (depending on if we extend him). I see him as the new hard-working, fun, vocal leader of the D Line that may not make it to any Pro Bowls but does the dirty work and will have a solid, long career.

Maybe like William Hayes. He was one steady MF.

I agree and I'm not sure how many Rams fans realized that SJD was actually better than Brockers last year

Not really. Tackles they’re pretty even, but Brockers had 5 sacks to 1 for SJD. Brockers had 10 QB hits to 4 for SJD. So Brockers was still more of a threat in rushing the passer.

You should provide stats with a comment like this. In general though, its difficult to compare two guys playing different roles. Brokers did not line up at NT at all.

Stats wouldn't tell us much because of that.

I thought SJD was better (eye test) and I think PFF rated him higher - I read that SJD rated highly but I can't remember where.

Different responsibilities and hard to guage, but I thought he was the better football player last year.

Given their positions that's to be expected. SJD was the main reason for our improved run defense - we have plenty of data showing Brockers starting and the Rams having awful run defenses.
