Opposing View: 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expecting same Aaron Donald, Rams in Week 12

This is a man who understands that giving AD extra motivation is a bad idea.

Too late for that! One of his OL punks called out Aaron after the last game. claiming Aaron gave up & quit. As if defending our NFC West divisional lead was not sufficient motivation enough, Shanny needs to learn to tell his guys to shut the hell up about The Kraken! if he wants to maintain the continued health of his QB, RBs, or OL.

POLL: Inappropriate Gift Scenario

Imagine you have a close friend and he's congratulating you on your wedding anniversary. He wants to get you both a gift as you walk through Nordstroms (pre-Covid). You walk through the women's evening wear and he picks a very sheer negligee.
"She'll look good in this, " he says.... You would...
First off, if he was trying to shop at Nordstrom's, we wouldn't be friends (even in the before times).
Second, is assume he's joking and as such I would find a more inappropriate joke to make back. Something like "I don't know. It wasn't very flattering on your wife last week."
Third, if he clearly wasn't joking I would take it as a compliment, get through that shopping trip, never shop with him again, and then deeply contemplate why I went out shopping with a dude in the first place.

Kupp, Woods, and defense top lists

Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods are 1st and 2nd in key receiving stat since 2019

When the Los Angeles Rams extended Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp this year, hardly anyone thought twice about questioning the decision. And there’s a reason for that.

Since they became teammates in 2017, they’ve been as consistent and reliable as any wide receiver tandem in the NFL. They have a knack for creating big plays, too, even if they’re not the fastest or most athletic guys in football.

They’re not considered deep threats, but where they gain big yardage is after the catch. According to Pro Football Focus, no wide receivers have gained more yardage after the catch than Kupp and Woods, who rank first and second in that department since 2019.

Jared Goff trusts both wideouts immensely and it’s easy to see why. When he puts the ball in the right spot, there’s a good chance Kupp and Woods will gain yardage after the catch – often turning a short gain into a big one.

Just look at Monday against the Bucs, for instance. Kupp broke at least 4 tackles and was elusive in the open field, while Woods turned a short screen into a 35-yard gain to set up a field goal before the half.

You can bet Goff is thrilled to have both of his wideouts signed long-term, continuing this connection for the foreseeable future.



Rams defense has been insanely good vs. deep passes this season

There are a lot of areas where the Rams have improved defensively this season. They’re better against the run, have generated pressure at a high rate and are playing excellent coverage at all levels of the field.

But unquestionably, their biggest improvement has come on deep passes. The Rams have been excellent when it comes to limiting big plays, allowing very few deep completions down the field. In fact, it’s hard to believe how good they’ve been against passes 20-plus yards downfield.

On Monday night, Tom Brady was 0-for-6 on deep passes, throwing two interceptions to Jordan Fuller. On the year, the Rams have allowed just five deep completions on 34 attempts, according to Next Gen Stats.

That’s good for an NFL-best 14.7% completion rate, which is just the start of it. The Rams are also tied for first with five interceptions on such throws, they’ve allowed a league-low 5.1 yards per attempt, have given up an 8.7 passer rating on deep throws and quarterbacks’ completion percentage over expectation is -16.4% – also best in the NFL.

If the Rams continue to take away deep shots down the field, they’re going to be really tough to beat. Teams are going to have to dink and dunk their way toward the end zone, which isn’t easy against a defense that has aggressive cornerbacks and safeties who know how to hit.

With the Seahawks and Cardinals still on the schedule, the Rams will need to be at their best taking away deep passes because those are two of the better teams in that department.

In A Rams Elite Defense - There's a name that should be mentioned more often

Were all wrong at some point. I have been wrong many many times
and will be wrong again. No biggie.

It just part of being passionate about our Rams,
And if you're going to be wrong, isn't it a great way to be wrong.
A player on our beloved Rams has outplayed your expectations.

I'll take being wrong like that.all day long. :biggrin: :fistbump::beer2:
There is good wrong and bad wrong.
Going to smoke a brisket and a turkey for Thanksgiving and realize late-ish last night I forgot (somehow) to pick up pellets......that’s bad wrong.

Seeing a LT vastly outplay my expectations.....that’s good wrong.

I’m thrilled to be wrong to this point and happy for Boom as well.

Taylor Rapp?

JJ3
Rapp
Burgess
Fuller

I too was impressed with Rapp as a rookie and now Fuller is shining in his first season. Burgess was playing week before getting hurt too.

Snead is drafting talented safeties who are excellent tacklers, like to hit, and have a nose for the ball. Rapp’s area of concern was coverage, but just before getting injured, he was showing a lotta progress.

Rolling into the playoffs with JJ3, Fuller, Rapp, Ramsey, Hill, and DWilliams? Ouch. It’s gonna be 2 step drops all day until we get a lead or 3rd and long. The Rams are looking good on the back end.
