Not sure what’s going on with him, but if I was the Rams, I’d be all over this guy

Might as well start this with Coach's show:

First a caveat. I don’t intend to sugarcoat anything and so my thoughts might ruffle some feathers on certain posters with ‘sacred cow’ fandom for particular players.

And in no particular order:

Regarding Offense

McVay needs to turn over playcalling to LaFleur. Too many impulsive and irrational calls and decisions now being made that defy explanation. Our O stats speak for themselves. I really think that Rams would be 7-3 today with better decision making and play calling. This needn’t wait until the offseason, it should be done before the upcoming Cards game.

QB. Stafford is a warrior but he’s been too wobbly/injured of late. Unless Rams are prepared to commit to Wentz as their franchise QB for next 5 years then they must draft their future heir to Stafford with their 1st rounder. Maybe even have to throw in picks to trade up to get their reasonable favorite. Yeah, expensive and somewhat risky, but we’re talking about a franchise QB here without which nothing else much matters. Too good of a QB class to pass on this rare opportunity. Gotta do it.

RB. Gotta keep drafting one every year. Freeman does look like a pretty good #3 RB but we need to bring in someone to really challenge Williams. Unfortunately, probably not gonna happen until after 3rd round because of other more pressing needs.

LOT. Either sign a proven stud (emphasis stud) LOT in FA or draft one high. Probably with their 2nd, actually. No more pussyfooting around with this OL. Stafford deserves at least that much. Jackson will be a fine swing OT/OG.

OC. Here again, either sign a real stud OC in FA or draft one fairly high, such as with the 3rd. Both Stafford and KW deserve at least that much. Rams need to stop ‘making do’ on their OL if they want a dominant O once again. Shelton will be a good swing OC.

OG. Extend Dotson. He’s certainly earned it and such investments are exactly what those newly available cap dollars are for. This move will complete Rams OL.

TE. Effective immediately I recommend reducing Higbee’s snaps in order to experiment with Allen, Hopkins, and Long. Higbee is playing hurt anyway and he’s been missing too many blocks, dropping too many passes, and not scoring as he should be. I recommend that the 4 above each share approximately 25% of snaps until someone steps up to claim that starter role. Also, be prepared to draft and/or sign a TE for next year. Hopefully, our new play caller will actually use his TE’s in his game plans.

WR. We all love Kupp but he’s always injured lately. Time to bring in another WR via draft or FA for the future. Btw, Trammel seems to make plays when given opportunities.

Regarding Defense

OLB. Hoecht is playing out of position and though he flashes occasionally he is mostly a liability on the field. Opponents constantly abuse him. So bite the bullet and sign a proven vet OLB, dammit! Sure, it will be costly but it will transform this D. And that’s exactly what those cap dollars are for. Draft doesn’t look like a realistic option because we’ve already invested our top 3 picks on O above (unless Snead gets incredibly lucky again). Just do it.

CB. Gotta keep drafting CB’s for the foreseeable future. I like Durant and still think Tomlinson could be a quality starter but they scarcely give him snaps unless others are injured. Maybe hedge their bets with late pick and a 2nd tier FA signing? I’ve soured on Witherspoon and Kendrick.

DL. What to do? AD won’t play forever, 2024 might be it for him. So I see Rams drafting DL relatively late here and maybe sign a FA if there’s any money left. Hoecht could help on DL and Mathis looks promising. DL is gonna be tricky for Rams in 2024.

S. Keep drafting for the foreseeable future. Fuller is a goner and should be. We’re not there yet at S.

Regarding ST

Actually might be finally coming around.

PK
P
Snapper
Returner (Trammel seems fine back there)

McVay’s patience with Blackburn might be rewarded in these final 7 games.


So there you have my thoughts.

Major changes in several areas:

Playcalling
QB
LOT
OC
TE (emphasis, anyway)
WR
OLB
CB

I do believe that if Snead can address these personnel areas with some combo of FA and early draft picks AND if McVay can bring himself to hand over playcalling duties, then Rams can be a force in next year’s playoff run.

Thoughts?

I have an in-law going to the Browns game with one of his kids. He inquired if there was anywhere to seek player autographs pre or post game. Thanks for your help.

Could be worse.

He plays a physical style. It’s part of what makes him great, and a big part of his injury history.

@SWAdude and his beautiful wife were on TV during the game yesterday. The camera zoomed in on just those 2 and stayed on them for a while. They didn't realize it from what I could tell... so my wife texted his wife to let them know they were on the National broadcast.

But... I didn't record the damn game and I didn't think fast enough to snap a pic. Hopefully our Brudda SWAdude or someone can find it and post it here !

It was cool that @Ramrasta was over watching the game with me because he, my wife, and I met them at the Super Bowl in Atlanta. So we were all like HEY... look who it is!

Sure hope we can find the clip or at least a pic of them.

Monday Night Football - November 20, 2023

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs: 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC

RamsOnDemand Sportsbook:

Anyone know where I can watch a replay of the game? Missed this one and my dvr didn't record.

IT'S A SWEEP!!!!!!

1. A common sports fan mantra is that there is no such thing as winning ugly when your team does the winning.

2. Today's game tested that theory.

3. But, WHO CARES... WE WON!!!!!

4. Let's start with Matthew Stafford. He did not have a good game. He missed some huge opportunities, including a chance at an 80+ yard TD to Darrell Henderson. He also was a big part of one of the most poorly executed flea flickers I've seen in a long time - a play that resulted in an INT and Stafford losing a layer of skin on his left arm. But, as Matthew Stafford has done more than any active QB, he made enough plays to lead a 4th Quarter comeback for the win. He's still that guy.

5. Sean McVay had another tough day. I didn't love his play-calling on the Rams' first Red Zone opportunity, and he nearly blew the game by failing to run the ball on the final drive, thereby delaying the Seahawks' use of their final time out and giving them an extra 45 seconds to work with on their last drive. Had the Seahawks made the winning FG, McVay's gaffe would have been monumental. Instead, he'll probably acknowledge the mistake, and it will quickly be forgotten. Hopefully, he'll learn.

6. Man... we really have the Seahawks' number, don't we?

7. 21 total penalties for 222 yards!!!! And, to be honest, I don't think there were any particularly bad calls. Maybe a bit ticky-tack on a couple (PI on Cooper Kupp, for example), but there were a lot of legit infractions on both sides.

8. Derion, Derion, Derion... 3 tackles, 3 passes defended, 1 big INT... and two really stupid penalties. Sigh.

9. My offensive MVP is Royce Freeman. His 73 yards on 17 carries really allowed the Rams to keep enough balance to move the ball when they needed to.

10. Puka Nacua had another nice game.

11. Kills me to see Kupp go down again.

12. My defensive MVP... welcome back, Ernest Jones (12 tackles, .5 sacks, 2 QB hits).

13. Aaron Donald had 3 QB hits, including the one that sidelined Geno Smith and allowed the Rams to make their comeback.

14. Over the bye, I noted that the Rams had really done poorly in the 4th Quarter this year. Its great when the team pays attention, takes heed of my advice, and makes the necessary adjustments!

15. Or, maybe its just a Seattle thing? We have outscored them 23-0 in two 4th Quarters this year!

16. The November losing streak ends!

17. Looking forward to getting Kyren Williams back next week.

18. The Rams will have to play much better than they did today if they want to string some wins together.

19. I like our chances at Arizona next week.

20. We're still in the hunt. Barely, perhaps, but still.

Rams win and this coach approves!!

ATLANTA (Nov. 19, 2023) — Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, a passionate champion of mental health, caregiving, and women's rights, passed away Sunday, Nov. 19, at 2:10 p.m. at her home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 96. She died peacefully, with family by her side

NFL 2023 – Comparative Offensive Line Ratings & Rankings​

Comparing NFL Offensive Lines

The Individual Offensive Line Summaries can be found here: NFL 2023 Offensive Line Ratings & Rankings

Rating NFL Offensive Line units is a bit of a tricky proposition. Most rankings involve looking at the individual linemans’ grades and or block win rates. These individual grades are excellent for determining the play and value of individual lineman, but do not really speak to the effectiveness of the unit as a whole over the course of a season.

Like almost all the ratings on nfllines.com, Offensive Line Ratings are COMPARATIVE. The offensive lines get their scores in each metric based on their performance against all other teams, not against a set standard. While against a set standard, every offensive line could grade out or score an 80, meaning they are all equally good.

In comparative ratings, the chances of that happening are virtually zero. Comparative ratings will almost always sort out a ranking. Unfortunately that means someone has to be first and someone last, even when such a title is not deserved. In rare instances, this can lead to the best of a mediocre bunch being #1 and appearing great, or the worst of a fantastic bunch being last and appearing incompetent.

Individual Lineman Grades vs Effectiveness of the Offensive Line as a Unit​

As an example, let’s take a line in which all 5 lineman are grading out at 90% pass block win %. Every ten snaps, each misses one block. However, there is a big difference in the final result of a play dependent on when each of the 5 misses their 1 block over 10 snaps. If all 5 were to miss their block on the same play, the result would be 9 clean pockets and one hell of a disasterous 10th play.

Contrast this potential outcome with the possibility the each of the 5 linemen misses their one block on 5 different plays. In this outcome, the result would be 5 clean pockets, and some combination of 5 hurries, scrambles, sacks, and quite possibly completions/incompletions since now only one rusher is breaking through instead of 4 or 5.

While this is an entirely theoretical example, it should be clear that the individual grades of linemen can lead to a wide outcome of actual play results. Essentially, the timing of the fail % of indivdual lineman play a huge role in the overall effectiveness of the offensive line as a unit. In a cruel statistical twist, it may actually be more beneficial for individual linemen to all make their mistakes at once, 5 out of 5 failing at the same time, as opposed to 4 out of 5 doing the job on 5 different occasions.

The quarterback also plays a role in making up for the occasional lineman miscue. In our first example where there is a jailbreak, a statuesque quarterback is toast, and a mobile quarterback has a small % chance of escaping. In the latter example, the mobile quarterback is probably going to have a high % chance of avoiding the single free rusher, while the less mobile quarteback probably has a fair chance of making one guy miss.

Thus the type of quarterback will determine which of the failure outcomes is preferred. Teams with a non mobile quarterback would probably prefer the linemen to all make the mistake at the same time. They would give up a sack 1 in 10 dropbacks, but would leave their non mobile quaterback a clean pocket 9 times out of 10.

Teams with a mobile quarterback would probably prefer for their linemen to make their mistakes at different times. Their mobile quarterback has a high % chance of avoiding a single rusher and still making a play. Only a jailbreak kind of rush can negate an extremely mobile and savvy modern quarterback.

Note – This was written before ESPN published win block rates for entire lines and against run and pass this week. I will use these line win rates in the rankings and calculations as they are now publically available. I posted the chart below but here is the link 2023 NFL pass rush, run stop, blocking win rate rankings

The Role & Metrics of the Offensive Line

For the offensive line ratings, we are going to assume that the offensive line’s 4 main objectives are:

• Open holes for the rushing game
• Identify, adjust and negate blitzes
• Protect the quarterback for a reasonable amount of time
• Win & hold blocks as a unit

In addition, like any other player or unit on the field, they should accomplish this without drawing fouls. Since this is basically a given for all units/players, I won’t list it as a main objective, but offensive lines will be scored on their ability to avoid costly penalties.

The List of Offensive Line Metrics​

• Rushing Yards Before Contact x 2
• Blitz %
• Pressure %
• Blitz Deflection %
• Average Pocket Time
• Sack %
• Estimated Penalty Yards
• Overall Block Win%

Let’s look at each objective and identify the metric(s) used to measure the line’s effectiveness.

Opening Holes For The Rushing Game​

Clearly one of the offensive line’s main tasks is to run block effectively. An offensive line that cannot run block and create opportunities for ball carriers is going to find itself forced into a lot of predictable pass block situations. Without the threat of an effective running game, defensive players can sit on pass routes and pass rushers can pin their ears back.

The metric to be used to measure run block effectiveness is Rushing Yards Before Contact(YBC), and this will be the only rushing metric used.. While the ball carrier’s ability is certainly a part of the metric, the size of the hole, or the time until the first defender can make contact with a ball carrier, is primarily a result of blocking. And while wide receivers and tight end blocking is also a factor, we can simply assume that all wr/te blocks are equal(which they surely are not), and assume these blocks are simply an extension of the line blocking(or that the wr/te in the play assume linemen status for the play).

Because the run game can in and of itself win ball games, and an effective run game compliments an effective pass game, the value of this metric will be doubled(the score each line receives for this metric is multiplied by two). Thus the score you see in the Standardized YBC column is the sd value, and the next column shows the YBC score(its SD value * 2).


NFL Offensive Line Ratings Yards Before Contact Pivot Table

​

Identifying, Adjust To, And Negate Blitzes​

This is probably the most difficult and important task assigned to the offensive line. Before providing time for a quarterback to throw, the line must identify the pass rushers, call the line protection, and still be aware of any misidentifications or additional blitzers not accounted for pre-snap. If any of this goes wrong without a blitz, it can lead to a negative play. When it goes wrong with a blitz, the potential for disasterous outcomes rises significantly.

We are going to assign three metrics to measuring this task:

Blitz % – An offensive line that faces a high amount of blitzing will score more higher in this metric. The purpose of this metric is to measure the amount of blitzes the line has had to face while producing the stats it has. It should be clear that a line facing 30% blitz % who gave up just 5 sacks, is probably more effective than a line who faced a 15% blitz % and gave up 5 sacks. Either the blitz pickup of the latter line is not good OR they are getting beat without a blitz.

Pressure % – Pressure % is simply the amount of hurries, knockdowns and sacks as a cumulative total, changed into a percentage by dividing that sum by the amount of pass attempts, scrambles & sacks. It assigns equal weight to a knockdown, a hurry and a sack even though they each have different Expected Point values, and affects on down/distance/outcome.

For measuring purposes, offensive lines that allow the least amount of pressure will score highest.

Blitz Deflection % – This is a metric you have never heard of because I just made it up. I am defining Blitz Deflection % as [1 – (Pressure % / Blitz %)]. Let’s look at a simple example of what it is and why it may be a valuable metric.

Let’s assume a line has faced a Blitz % of 25%. Let’s also assume, that every blitz leads directly to pressure. Thus a Blitz % of 25% should lead to a Pressure % of 25%. Essentially, blitzes always work. Thus if a team faces 25% Blitzes, then the average line would allow 25% pressure.

A line that could keep pressure % BELOW Blitz % would be doing a better job than a line who’s Pressure % was higher than their Blitz %. If this happens the line must be giving up pressure outside the Blitz and negating little to none of the blitzes sent.

Looking at the chart, Baltimore’s offensive line has faced the blitz on 30.68% of designed passing plays. Their pressure % is a mere 14.49%. While this cannot show the exact breakdown of how often Baltimore’s offensive line picked up the blitz and how many time they allowed pressure without a blitz, it should be obvious that line is picking up blitzes.

The ratio [1 – (14.49% / 30.68%)] = 52.78%. Thus Baltimore’s offensive line is deflecting 52.78% of blitzes.

Conversely, let’s take a look at Pittsburgh’s offensive line in this metric. The Steelers Offensive line faces a blitz 18.08% of the time(by far the lowest % in the league, Cincinnati is second least blitzed at 21.61%). However the Steeler offensive line allows a pressure % of 25.32%.

The ratio [1-(25.32 / 18.08%)] = -40.35%. The Steeler’s line is not deflecting any blitzes and giving up pressure outside of being blitzed.

Just remember Blitz Deflection is not measuring the actual amount of blitz pickups, but the theoretical amount a line is negating blitzes.


NFL Offensive Line Ratings – Blitz Pivot Table

​

Protect the Quarterback for a Reasonable Amount of Time​

Regardless as to whether the blitz pickup has been identified and executed properly, the offensive line is still tasked with giving the quarterback enough time to go through his reads and complete the passing motion. It would be great if the qb is still standing and in the pocket when this is completed, but sometimes things go wrong and quarterbacks get sacked.

The two metrics being used in this portion of the offensive line ratings are fairly straightforward.

Average Time in The Pocket – The amount of time the quarterback has before contact or being flushed is average time in the pocket. It should follow that allowing more time for the quarterback would be good, and allowing less time bad.

This is a bit of scheming that plays into this as some times have an extremely quick read system that inherently gets the ball out faster than other schemes looking for deeper, or double, routes. But it is a fairly reliable indicator on the ability of the line to pass protect and form a workable qb pocket.

Sack % – Sacks are the worst kind of pressure as they come with loss of down and yardage by the very definition of a sack. This is an inverse metric in that it is better to have a lower sack % than a higher one. Lines that allow a lower % of sack will score well, while porous lines will score poorly.

Minimize Penalties​

Another metric in measuring offensive lines will be their ability to avoid getting in their own way. Every penalty on each individual line is collected and the entire line is responsible for the total penalties.


NFL Offensive Line ratings – Penalties Pivot Table


For estimating penalty yardage, a false start is 5 yards, holding and any other penalty is 10 yards(the other penalties are a mix of 5 yard and 15 yard infractions, thus I decided to use 10 yards as the punishement for each. Offsetting and declined penalties are still counted. Multiplier out the types of penalties and the estimated yardage for each results in an estimated total penalty yardage total for each offensive line. This is also an inverse metric. Lines that have been penalized the most will score poorly, while the mistake free lines will score high.

Winning Blocks – Overall Offensive Line Blocking Win Rate​

ESPN Offensive Block Win Rates


The final metric is another metric you may not have seen before, Overall Block Win Rate. To calculate this metric, ESPN’s Pass Blocking Win Rate and Rush Blocking Win Rate percentages were used for each team(which just so happened to be published this week).

Then the breakdown between passing and running plays for each team were taken into account. To find the overall block win rate, the pass block win rate was multiplied by the passing play %, and the rush block win rate was multiplied by the rush play %. Turning the resulting metric back into a percentage, leads to overall block win rate.

For example, a team has a pass block win rate of 60% and a rush block win rate of 70%. They pass 60% of the time and run 40% of the time. What is the overall block win %?

Overall Block Win % = [(0.60*60)+(0.70*40)]/100 = 64%

You can see all the data and calculation in the main chart. Perhaps you think everything before this section is nonsense and overall block win rate % is the true measure of offensive lines. In that case, here is the ranking based solely on Overall Block Win Rate %


NFL 2023 – Offensive Line Overall Block WIn Rate % by Team

Final Offensive Line Ratings & Rankings​

Summing up the score from the 8 metrics(and doubling the YBC value), we arrive at a final rating for each of the 32 offensive lines. Like any rating system there are sure to be disagreements and niggles in the methodology. However it did seem to correctly identify the best and worse of the offensive line play thus far in 2023.

The Offensive Line Ratings see Baltimore, Philadelphia, Miami, & The LA Rams as the having the best offensive lines. It sees Houston, Pittsburgh, Carolina, and the extremely woeful NY Giants as having the worst performing offensive lines thus far in 2023.

That's right, I used vittles. Deal with it. I, myself, have marinated this monster of a bavette and will have it with scalloped potatos. I will be washing it down with Sierra Nevada. Whatchu folks grubbin and sippin on?

The Former Los Angeles Rams assistant took a job nobody else wanted. In fact, the Athletic department of the University of Arizona was broke and Fish promised when he took the job, he would build the football program up, which would aid the athletic department in turning around their misfortune.

It is refreshing in the age of 76 million dollar buyouts that like Jedd Fish, passed over many times received his chance, albeit, taking a job nobody else in the collegiate sport world wanted. Fish started out 1-11, last year 5-7 and now after 10 games has his Wildcats at 7-3 and they have fought in every game they have been in.

There are times that doing things the old fashion way works, however, the adage "Necessity is the Mother of Invention." also percolates as the Wildcats had no where else to turn, but to give Fish the time to build the program and put on the right path. As the move to the Big 12 next season and the athletic department also tries to right the ship, it will be interesting to see if Fish can now take that program into the upper echelon and possibly challenging for the college football playoff in the future.

IMO Fish now ranks up there with Kansas Head Coach Lance Leipold resurrecting a program that had not only fell on hard times, but had no money too. Congrats to Jedd Fish for doing an exceptional job under the most challenging of circumstances.

First off, I'm not giving up on the season and most certainly will watch all the games with great anticipation (Youtube ticket). Next year we will be playing the NFC North and AFC East and I believe our 17th game game will come from the AFC west and will be a home game. We could or should end up with Raiders (or Broncos), Giants or Commodes, Falcons or Carolina, plus NE, Packers, Bears, Vikings, Cardinals (twice obviously), Jets (with a 40 year old Rodgers), Bills, Shitchickens twice and then of course SF twice, Lions and the Dolphins. Should be a whole lot easier next year. Another homerun draft with some impact defenders in free agency could very easily propel us to playoffs next year. Have a great day Ram fans!
