ams are 14th in the league when it

At 56.67% Taylor Rapp Jersey Cheap , the R comes to scoring in the red zone. That�s up by a little over 3% since last season. As of late, they�ve seemed to be more willing to ride with runningback Todd Gurley in those situations, as his 14 touchdowns indicate. Speaking of Gurley, it was nice to see him get some breathers as Malcolm Brown got to grind out a few possessions. In general, with the Rams� bye week still a month away, it was great to see a handful of starters getting some rest in the fourth quarter. All in all, it was luxurious day for the team, back in the California sunshine with plenty of Rams fans scattered around the lower bowl at Levi Stadium. The tight ends may never become a major part of the passing game. Entering the season it seemed conceivable that Sean McVay may go back to using his tight ends more often as a wrinkle to stay a step ahead of tape crunching defensive coordinators around the league. However, with Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Brandin Cooks only improving Rob Havenstein Jersey , it seems like the Big 3 will be on the field the overwhelming majority of the time. That makes it more difficult to draw any real conclusions about the Gerald Everett selection in the 2nd Round of the 2017 draft. Is the lack of production Everett�s fault, or is he simply buried in a blizzard of talent? It is worth noting that San Francisco 49ers� prolific tight end George Kittle was drafted a full 102 picks behind Everett that year. What would Kittle do in this Rams offense? And would Everett be capable of being more of a featured offensive weapon elsewhere? The same questions can be asked of the Rams other tight end Tyler Higbee. But really, who cares as long as the Rams offense keeps the scoreboard spinning?Worth noting, is that both Everett and Higbee have been graded decently by Pro Football Focus this season.

The offense certainly made an appearance, though it wasn�t quite the shock-and-awe type of assault that they have launched so often this season. Their final stats may have been somewhat minimized from continuously working short fields following the numerous turnovers created by their defense. The defense, who has often been treated as an afterthought behind Goff & Co. came to play on Sunday. No, Jimmy Garoppolo wasn�t out there, but the Niners are still 2nd in the league in rushing behind a strong line, and have capable weapons in Pierre Garcon, George Kittle, and Marquise Goodwin. The game turned out to be the best display of what the Rams� pass rush is capable of that we have seen thus far in 2018. Samson Ebukam finally got home Authentic David Edwards Jersey , as did Cory Littleton; and Aaron Donald�s game exceeded any possible description. Also worth note is that the Rams corners basically blanked the 49ers wide receivers, which has now happened in 4 of the Rams� 7 games so far. Only the Vikings, Broncos, and maybe the Chargers enjoyed any success outside. With Marcus Peters getting healthier, and the eventual return of Aqib Talib, that kind of coverage should continue to be a deadly compliment to the pressure up front. LOS ANGELES (AP) � Although the Los Angeles Rams hadn�t lost a game until last week, their spectacular season has featured several close calls.Not many were closer than their 33-31 victory just five weeks ago in Seattle, where the Seahawks racked up 190 yards rushing, intercepted two passes by Jared Goff and came agonizingly close to a huge NFC West win.With the second-place Seahawks (4-4) visiting the Coliseum on Sunday for the rematch, the Rams (8-1) have a chance to essentially end the division race with seven weeks to go. The Rams aren�t looking that far ahead, but Aaron Donald hopes Los Angeles will learn from that narrow win in Seattle � and a 45-35 loss at New Orleans last week.�We�re in a good place David Edwards Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , and we�re locked in,� said the Rams� superstar defensive tackle, second in the NFL with 10 sacks. �We play these guys twice a year, so we�ve got respect for them. We�ve just got to get after them.�The Rams have never lost back-to-back regular-season games in their 1½ seasons under Sean McVay, but they�ve thrived primarily on the strength of an offense that has been able to outscore nearly every opponent, including the Seahawks. NFL scoring leader Todd Gurley rushed for three TDs in Seattle, and the Rams kept the ball out of Russell Wilson�s hands in the final 3:38 by running out the clock.The Seahawks also are coming off a loss after the Chargers won in Seattle last week, but the Seahawks know they can beat the Rams because they did it last season at the Coliseum.Even if the division race might already be out of hand, they�ve got a chance to begin their playoff rally with a statement victory.�We can�t allow them to score as many points as they put up,� Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. �We feel like we did a really good job against the run for the most part. We have to find a way to do that, make them one-dimensional Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , make sure Todd doesn�t get into the end zone as many times as he did.�More things to watch in this NFC West showdown:TOUGH CHECKDonald has sacked Wilson eight times in their careers, more than any other quarterback. But Donald and the Rams didn�t manage to sack Drew Brees last week, and they still have something to prove to the Seahawks � particularly to guard D.J. Fluker, who wasn�t impressed by the toughness of the Los Angeles defense in the clubs� previous meeting.The Seattle offensive lineman said the Rams �want to be pass rushers,� but hadn�t �seen a team go out there and actually take it to them.� Donald had no interest in starting a public discussion this week: �We�re just going to go out there and play a game and let our play speak for us.�RUN AROUNDSeattle�s impressive rushing performance in their first meeting with the Rams included 116 yards from Chris Carson, but he is in question for the rematch because of a hip injury that caused him to sit the final 2½ quarters last week against the Chargers. Mike Davis and seldom-used Rashaad Penny probably would replace Carson.But Seattle also has offensive line concerns after Fluker injured his calf late in the loss to the Chargers. Fluker�s addition to the offensive line helped spark Seattle�s turnaround in the run game starting in late September.GURLEY GOESGurley has scored a touchdown in a franchise-record 12 straight games, and his 868 yards rushing are the NFL�s most by a whopping 162 yards over Pittsburgh�s James Connor.Gurley�s 16 TDs this season are the most in the league and the second-most in NFL history through nine games, trailing only Jim Brown�s 17 in 1958. That�s the challenge facing Seattle�s run defense, which is giving up 4.8 yards per attempt � tied for fourth-worst in the league � but has been effective in stretches.GET MARCUSFormer Washington Huskies defensive back Marcus Peters was targeted repeatedly by the Saints, and the Rams� top corner took the blame for much of Brees� success. The Seahawks undoubtedly saw the former Pro Bowl cover man�s struggles on video, but Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has limited options in the continued injury absence of cornerback Aqib Talib. The Rams� best solution might be increased pressure on Wilson David Edwards Jersey nfl draft , who has been sacked 25 times already this season.SAFETY PLANBradley McDougald has been one of Seattle�s defensive standouts, but with a quick turnaround to facing Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers next Thursday, McDougald may end up sitting out against the Rams because of a bothersome knee injury. If McDougald can�t play, the Seahawks would turn to second-year safety Delano Hill, which could create an extremely young secondary. If Hill starts, he would play alongside second-year free safety Tedric Thompson, second-year cornerback Shaquill Griffin and rookie cornerback Tre Flowers. Nickel cornerback Justin Coleman, in his fourth season, would be the veteran of the group.
