Right now, the LA Rams are an enigma at 4-5 halfway through the season.\u00a0 On Monday Night Football, they embarrassed themselves with a 20-15 loss at home to the Miami Dolphins.\u00a0 They face a short week and must fly across the country to play the Patriots at home.\u00a0 The Rams are getting healthy with both WRs Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp healthy together for three games in a row.<\/p>\n

Offense<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On Offense they rank 17th<\/sup> overall with 328.7 yards per game.\u00a0 The passing game even without both Kupp and Nacua is ranked 8th<\/sup> at 234.6 yards per game.\u00a0 When running the ball, they are ranked low at 26th<\/sup> with 94.1 yards per game.\u00a0 In Scoring they are ranked 26th<\/sup> at 20.6 points a game.\u00a0 However, they are 1-3 on the road with 18.4 points per game. \u00a0The lone win was in OT, a 26-20 win at Seattle.<\/p>\n

Matt Stafford was the 2009 1st<\/sup> overall pick in the draft by Detroit.\u00a0 The 6\u20193\u201d 220-pound QB was later involved in the big trade for Jared Goff.\u00a0 The trade appears to have benefited both teams.\u00a0 However, Stafford is not having a good season this year and is ranked #30 by PFF.\u00a0 His rating for the season is 64.1.\u00a0 That can be attributed in part because both of his top receivers were out, and he did not have 2nd<\/sup> year sensation Puka Nacua until game #8. \u00a0Add to that a mediocre running game and everything fell on Stafford\u2019s shoulders.\u00a0 \u00a0When playing away from home, this is a different team.\u00a0 His stats for the season are a completion percentage of 66.5%, 2262 yards, 9 TDs to 7 INTs.\u00a0 Former Patriots Jimmy Garoppolo is a very capable backup should Stafford get hurt.\u00a0 Third String is the gutsy Stetson Bennett, the 5\u201911\u201d 196-pound University of Georgia 2x National Champion and 2x Championship Game MVP.\u00a0 He also won the Manning award (Best College QB) and Burlsworth Trophy (Best Player that was originally a Walk On).\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know the story of Brandon Burlsworth I highly recommend watching the movie Greater.
\nKyren Williams is an exciting Running Back. Williams was drafted in the 2012 draft in the 5th<\/sup> Round (#164) by LA Rams.\u00a0 For the season he has 664 yards, 3.8 yards per carry and 8 TDs.\u00a0 The Notre Dame product stand 5\u20199\u201d 194 pounds. \u00a0His 40-time was a disappointing 4.65.\u00a0 Williams has 25 receptions on 31 targets for 136 yards, 5.8 yards per catch, and 2 TDs.\u00a0 Williams PFF rating is 65.7 good for 64th<\/sup> in the league.\u00a0\u00a0 Rookie Blake Corum is the backup.\u00a0 The 2023 3rd<\/sup> round pick (#83) is another shorter back at 5\u20198\u201d but a stout 210 pounds out of Michigan.<\/p>\n

The Wide Receiver group is a very good one led by Cooper Kupp.\u00a0 The 31-year-old Kupp is a former NFL Offensive Player of the Year (2021) and holds many single season NFL records. \u00a0The 8-year veteran stands 6\u20192\u201d, 208 pounds and was drafted in 2016 3rd<\/sup> round (#69) out of Eastern Washington where he was a teammate of Patriots Kendrick Bourne.\u00a0 \u00a0His stats for the year are 41 receptions on 56 targets for 382 yards, 9,3 YPC and 2 TDs.\u00a0 Kupp PFF rating is 76.5 for a 30th<\/sup> rank. \u00a0\u00a0Puka Nacua burst on the scene last year as a rookie out of BYU.\u00a0 Nacua has played in just 4 games and has 21 catches on 31 targets for 250 yards, 11.9 YPC and no TDs.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 74 and would be 41st<\/sup> if he had the minimum required catches.\u00a0 He had 9 catches last week against the Dolphins.\u00a0 Tutu Atwell is a small slippery slot receiver out of Louisville that was taken in the 2021 draft 2nd<\/sup> round (#57).\u00a0 At just 5\u20199\u201d 165-pounds, Atwell will go across the middle fearlessly.\u00a0 He has 26 catches on 40 targets for 372 yards, 14.9 YPC and no TDs.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 70.2 and a rank of 48.\u00a0 DeMarcus Robinson is another explosive, big play WR.\u00a0 The Florida WR was drafted in 2016 by KC in the 4th<\/sup> round (#126).\u00a0 He has 22 receptions on 43 targets for 350 yards, 15.9 YPC and 5 TDs.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 69.4 good for 60th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

TE features up and coming Colby Parkinson.\u00a0 The 6\u20197\u201d 265-pound TE was signed away from Seattle with a 3 year $22M contract.\u00a0 He was drafted by Seattle in 2020 4th<\/sup> round (#132) out of Stanford.\u00a0 For the season he has 23 catches on 36 targets for 214 yards, 9.3 YPC and no TDs.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 62.6 and a 51st<\/sup> rank.\u00a0 Backup Hunter Long has a slightly higher 63.2 PFF rank good for 44th<\/sup>, but just 5 catches on the season. \u00a0Tyler Higbee has been listed as Out.<\/p>\n

The Offensive Line is anchored by Alaric Jackson at Left Tackle.\u00a0 The 2021 UnDrafted Free Agent out of Iowa has performed remarkably well.\u00a0 At 6\u20197\u201d and 285 pounds, he is little underweight which hurts him in the run game.\u00a0 His PFF grade is 69.2 good for 36.\u00a0 Jackson will be an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2025 and will be able to back up the Brinks truck and name his price id the Rams don\u2019t Franchise him.\u00a0 He is a player to keep an eye on.\u00a0 Jonah Jackson is the LG.\u00a0 He has returned from injury last week and showed some rust.\u00a0 At 6\u20194\u201d 311 pounds he has ideal size.\u00a0 He was drafted by Detroit in the 3rd<\/sup> round (#75) of the 2020 draft out of TCU.\u00a0 His PFF grade is 53.4 which would have been an 87 rank.\u00a0 Steve Avila also returned last week and fared a little better than Jonah Jackson.\u00a0 He stands 6\u20193\u201d 332 pounds and the TCU product was a 2nd<\/sup> round pick in 2023 by the Rams.\u00a0 His 63.4 grade ranks 27th<\/sup> amongst Centers. \u00a0Right Guard is Kevin Dotson a 6\u20194\u201d 321 Louisiana Ragin Cajun.\u00a0 He was a 2020 4th<\/sup> round pick (#135) of Pittsburgh.\u00a0 His 66.4 rating is 41st<\/sup> among Guards.\u00a0 Right Tackle is Rob Havenstein who is entering his 10th<\/sup> year in the league. \u00a0He missed last week\u2019s game versus Miami and was listed as DNP in both Wednesday and Thursday practices.\u00a0 His backup Joe Noteboom was also listed as DNP both days.\u00a0 Noteboom played very badly last week subbing for Havenstein.\u00a0 If both are out on Sunday, then third string Warren McClendon may have to play.\u00a0 McClendon is one of the worst Tackles in the league with 120 ranking.\u00a0 \u00a0His ranking is worse than Chukwuma Okorafor.\u00a0 This could be an interesting matchup for newly acquired Yannick Ngakoue.<\/p>\n

Defense <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Rams Defense is in the bottom 3rd<\/sup> of the league ranked 22nd<\/sup>, giving up 347.1 yards a game.\u00a0 Scoring Defense they are 22nd<\/sup> at 24.1 per game and against the rush they rank 19th<\/sup> at 127.6 yards a game. \u00a0Against the pass they rank 22nd<\/sup> with 219.6 yards per game.\u00a0 In the Red Zone they defend at a 51.6% and on 3rd<\/sup> down they are at 37.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Left Defensive End has rookie Braden Fiske from Florida State.\u00a0 The 6\u2019 5\u201d 297-pound DE was taken in the 2nd<\/sup> round (#39).\u00a0 His PFF rating is a poor 54.4 for 116th<\/sup> among DEs.\u00a0 Nose Tackle Bobby Brown is a stout 6\u20194\u201d 324 pounds.\u00a0 He played for Texas A&M and was drafted in the 4th<\/sup> round (#118) of the 2021 draft.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 65 for 47 ranking.\u00a0 I watched a little of the MIA \/ LAR game last Monday and Kobie Turner really impressed me. The 6\u20193\u201d 288-pound RDE was disruptive all night.\u00a0 His play is reflected in his PFF rating of 70.7, the #25 DL in the league.<\/p>\n

Weakside Linebacker Byron Young is listed as Questionable, but I expect he will play on Sunday.\u00a0 He has been Limited in both practices this week.\u00a0 The 6\u20192\u201d 250-pound edge player from Tennessee was taken in the 2023 draft in the 3rd<\/sup> round (#78).\u00a0 His PFF rating is 57.2 good for 125th<\/sup>. Young leads the team in sacks with 5. Left Inside Linebacker is filled by Christian Rozeboom, a 2020 UnDrafted Free Agent from South Dakota State.\u00a0 He stands 6\u20192\u201d 230-pounds.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 52.5 ranked 128th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Jaylen McCollough is a Strong Safety playing in the box at Right Inside Linebacker.\u00a0 The 6\u2019 206-pound safety from Tennessee was a 2024 UnDrafted Free Agent.\u00a0 His PFF Rating is a very good 78 which is good for 15th<\/sup> amongst Safeties.\u00a0 However, he had a horrible game last week against Miami in which he had a 34.7 rating.\u00a0 Jared Verse is the player the Pats will need to plan for on the Defense.\u00a0 The 2024 1st<\/sup> round selection (#19) from Florida State, Verse has 4.5 sacks on the season.\u00a0 His 86.9 PFF rating is the highest of active players on the team.<\/p>\n

The secondary features Left Corner Back Darious Williams who was a 2018 UnDrafted Free Agent from University of Alabama Birmingham.\u00a0 He was signed originally by Baltimore.\u00a0 The 5\u20199\u201d 187 back has a PFF grade of 66.3 which is good for a 74th<\/sup> rank.\u00a0 Strong Safety is Kam Curl.\u00a0 The 6\u20192\u201d 198 Safety from Arkansas was a 2020 7th<\/sup> round pick (#216) by Washington. \u00a0His PFF rating is 57.8 for a 101st<\/sup> rank.\u00a0 Free Safety is Quentin Lake a 6\u20191\u201d 201-pound product from UCLA.\u00a0 Lake was taken in the 2022 draft in the 6th<\/sup> Round (#212).\u00a0 His PFF rating is 60.5, good for 88th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Josh Wallace is the Right Corner Back. The 6\u2019 190-pound DB played at Michigan and was a 2024 UDFA.\u00a0 His PFF rating is 51.2 which is good for 172nd<\/sup>.\u00a0 Lake and Wallace were listed on the injury report as Limited.\u00a0 If they can\u2019t go, the Rams have quality backups in Safety Kam Kinchens and Ahkello Witherspoon.<\/p>\n
