-All WRs and all but 1 TE saw time on offense.
-Shula played around alot with the formations.
-Turner got the start at NT with Donald and Fiske.
-Ford's playing time dropped. Could be from shifting around for AD, the lack of a run threat, or his performance from last week.
 
I was wondering how having 99 play 1/3 of the defensive snaps would affect the rest of the DL.

Having Kobie Turner @ Nose Tackle was a slight improvement IMO.

I thought that NT Poona Ford played his worst Ram game against the 9ers. No idea why. By the end of the 2025 season, NT PF was playing at an All-Pro level & his pass rush was the best I have ever seen from him. NT PF is our highest-paid DL'er, and seeing his performance decline alarms me.

NT Ty Hamilton averaged 12% of all the 2025 defensive snaps & played on no ST's. In the first 2 games, TH is increasing & averaging near 19% & now McVay has him in on 25% of the ST snaps. So this is different.

Another big difference is Edge Rusher J Stewart's increase in defensive snaps to 79% was expected by all of us. Young got 71%. Seeing an UDFA Edge Rusher, Wesley Bailey, getting 19 snaps & a sack is great news!

I think Higs is done. Was looking at the snaps and thinking those 16 should go to Klare, or perhaps a share of them, as I'd like to see what he can do.
It's possible that Tyler Higbee could be getting set up for a Robert Woods & Brian Allen future action here....

I think we all know our 2027 TE room will become very youthful with T. Ferguson/ Max Klare & Dan Villari & possibly a return from now CFL Montreal Alouettes Rohan Jones

I was thinking last night that Higbee might not be on the roster by season's end.

Tyler Higbee's serious right-knee surgery after tearing both his ACL and MCL during the Rams’ 2024 NFC Wild Card loss to Detroit took much of his ability to get open & make big plays.

I always held safety Kerby Joseph as a nasty player on his hit.

Josiah Stewart had a weird game. He had a sack and let go of Winston for some inexplicable reason. He looked off to me.

Good rotation on the defensive line.

Turner 59%
AD 57%
Fiske 52%
Davis 40%
Ford 31%
T Hamilton 14%

A little surprised that AD had the second-highest total. Fiske didn't have a good game according to PFF. I'm surprised, as he wasn't effective. I expected he would have a good season.

Steward 79%
Young 72%
Bradley 33%

Young was on fire. Steward not so much, but he did have a sack.

They did well against the run and got help from blitzes. A much improve showing from last week.

If we're thinking about the same play, I think he assumed that the other Rams player had him and possibly vice versa.
Either way it was a missed opportunity.

Yeah, it was like he didn't want to get a roughing penalty because somebody else had his hands on the QB. Weird play.
It almost looked like he thought the ball was already released as it appeared he looked down field. Very strange play.

I re-watched this play in slo-mo and I'm pretty sure this is what happened. Stewart totally fell for Winston's pump fake. Stewart was looking for the ball downfield, he wasn't looking down at Winston to see if Turner had finished him off for the sack.

You can see the moment where Stewart is thinking, "where the hell is the ball then?" And then he notices that all the defenders are looking at Winston, and finally Stewart has his "oh crap" realization and resumes his pass rush.
 
Wonder how serious Ronnie Rivers injury is, might see Connors get brought up off practice squad.

I noticed that too. He looked like he was getting ready to celebrate thinking his teammates were going to finish the job. Hope he got called out for that today in film study.
