RamsWire Snap Counts Vs KC-NRC Only 13%

[I like Rams]

Two things.

1. You said completion percentage in the first post of yours I quoted. It is impossible to have a completion percentage over 100.

2. I just checked PFF. They grade players on a 0-100 scale for every aspect of the game.

Maybe you're thinking of passer rating, not completion percentage? That would make sense.

Yes, i corrected myself above and fixed the original post. Sorry for the confusion.

Not at all. If you draw the top wideout every game your grade is going to be lower than if you draw JAGs. Because PFF doesn't adjust their grade for quality of the opponent. It needed to be mentioned given the direction of the conversation.

So would you say Hill is above NRC bc Hill guards the #2 while NRC the slot? I would say NRC is clearly ahead of Hill yet he is strictly slot db and doesn't go against wide outs.

No. I judge players based on what I see on game day. But to your question the quality of slot weapons and #2 wideouts is relatively similar. Some teams one is tougher than the other, but the big thing to remember is that slot weapons typically aren't deep threats, they're usually good at quick separation due to routes or agility, or sometimes bring size/physicality but aren't capable of making their money outside the hashes.

In other words it's apples and oranges to a certain extent. NRC isn't an outside the hashes CB. And I'll add that slot corners are very easy to find vs guys who can survive outside. Back to NRC vs Hill, I would summarize it as NRC is a very good slot corner and Hill is a subpar CB2.

And btw all this is why PFF grades need to be taken with a grain of salt.

I know we don't play 2 TE much and I don't want that to change because that's part of what makes this O special, but we need to get Everett on the field more.

And yes, I know Higbee's value as a blocker but Everett is a Jordan Reed type weapon, WR skills in a TE body. He's proven himself as a difference maker.

I get what youre saying, and i agree. Ive seen qbs picking on Peters every game, with the exception of the Chiefs game, simply bc Shields had the unfortunate duty of covering Hill. Troy doesnt get mentioned as much bc he gets the lesser of the looks when it comes to opposing qbs.

No, I don't care about "facts." Troy Hill draws the worst WR and still gets burnt. I obviously have a "boner" for the guy who actually can be a good/great CB, not the guy who is a liability. Stats are facts. Your conclusion that Hill is a better CB is an opinion. Your conclusion that Peters is our worst CB is an opinion. Neither are facts.

I get that Peter's can be good to great and he has shown before in his career, but recently he has not shown that and he doesn't always draw the top wide receiver he often draws a second wide receiver and still gets beat. Just like he did against Williams in the San Diego game. From what I've seen wade doesn't play the type of Defense where the top cornerback always follows around the top wide receiver at least he hasnt been since Talib has been out.

We've done that in a number of games this year. Regardless, Peters has bounced back since that horrible Saints game where he was shadowing Thomas. He played well against Seattle and KC. Troy Hill was the guy getting burned against Seattle.

Dante Fowler Jr. has clearly become a starter and even made Matt Longacre a healthy scratch Monday.

By: Cameron DaSilva

On Monday, Sean McVay was asked about the decision and whether Fowler is now a starter outside. Longacre hasn’t exactly been effective or productive this season. In 10 games (seven starts), he’s yet to record a single sack in 249 snaps played. Fowler has one sack for the Rams in three games and has been far more disruptive up front as a pass rusher.

“Dante’s played a lot of downs. That was specific to the game plan because we stayed in a lot of nickel situations just based on some of the personnel groupings and things that the Chiefs presented,” McVay said. “Matt’s a starting player in our base alignment, so that was really just specific to the game plan. Don’t expect that to be something that is the norm moving forward.”
