TLDR: Teams pass quick because AD exists but the secondary playing constant off-zone coverage with huge cushions make it impossible to actually stop those passes or impede the QB. Also no one *EXCEPT* Donald is winning their one-on-ones.
> According to Pro Football Focus, the Rams have a league-low 66 pressures this season. That’s 21 fewer than the next-closest team (Bears) and 36 fewer than the 30th-ranked team. Nothing about that is good.
> The most concerning part about the Rams’ lack of pressures is the source of them. Donald accounts for 27 of their 66 pressures this season, with Floyd (13) ranking second on the team. Amazingly, no one else has more than five. Other than Donald, the Rams’ defensive linemen and edge rushers have just 27 pressures. Defensive backs and inside linebackers have 11 pressures themselves.
I don’t always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis
Secondary is not good.
The secondary is playing 10+ yards back. Teams just quick pass us to death. You can’t get pressure when they only need 2 seconds to throw.
Maybe the Rams should try changing things up and tighten the coverage. Maybe just mix it in every now and then before the opposing team marches down the field and gets into the redzone; where the Rams are forced to tighten the coverage.
TLDR: Easy. Fewest Pressure – Shitty game planning and coaching. Highest Pass-Rush win Rate? Aaron Fucking Donald.
Because 👏 morris 👏 fucking 👏 sucks 👏
How can we ever defend short game passes when we start 10yards off their WRs? Its the easiest time for the offense.
Throw it behind the line -> 4yrd gain minimum. Repeat until W.
Every time we have them 3rd and 10-12 i wanna fucking cry before the play even snaps because i know whats going to happen every single time.

Should’ve have traded AD. He’s lost a step
