Super Bowl 53 has come and gone
Dakota Allen Jersey nfl draft , and the New England Patriots are once again world champions after a strange 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams. ered showing between two explosive offenses, we got the exact opposite. Two struggling offenses and two defenses stifling each other time after time. Unfortunately for the Rams, the Patriots made just enough plays to capitalize and win.Let’s jump into the stock report:Stock DownQB Jared GoffJared Goff really struggled in his first Super Bowl, but to be fair, he wasn’t given any help what-so-ever. His two worst plays of the day were the late pass but would-be touchdown to WR Brandin Cooks who was running completely uncovered and waiting in the endzone, and his late-game interception to CB Stephon Gilmore. To be fair to Goff, he did have an absolute dime to Cooks on the right side of the field that absolutely should have been caught for a touchdown. Unfortunately for Goff, the very few chances the Rams had to make plays he just didn’t notice uncovered receivers. Outside of that handful of chances
Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , he had absolutely no time to operate in the pocket and his receivers were covered like blankets.Offensive lineWhat a terrible time for the offensive line to have their worst performance as a unit. Jared Goff was sacked four times and pressured on literally almost every dropback. Not only that, but the run game was absolutely non-existent as both Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson averaged three yards-per-carry.WR Brandin CooksIf you looked at the stat line, you’d think Brandin Cooks actually had a fantastic game as he reeled in eight receptions for 120 yards. The issue is that he dropped two touchdowns, one of which wasn’t his fault and one which slipped right through his hands. The missed opportunities hurt because they would have absolutely changed the entire outcome of the game, but there’s nothing you can do now. The Rams’ top dog needs to make those plays.RB’s C.J. Anderson and Todd GurleyThe duo which has looked electric both together and apart simply didn’t have it last night. Both players averaged three yards-per-carry and had a combined 57 rushing yards. The issue was the offensive line simply couldn’t open any holes, and when they did, a long run from Gurley was called back because of a “hold” by C John Sullivan. Also, C.J. Anderson was incredibly lucky his fumble bounced out of bounds because that could have been a crucial turnover.Stock UpILB’s Cory Littleton and Mark BarronIn the biggest game of the year
Dakota Allen Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , both inside linebackers in Cory Littleton and Mark Barron absolutely balled. Both guys were extremely aggressive in filling gaps and making tackles in the run game, but not only that, they were incredibly active in coverage too. Littleton obviously started the game with an interception off a deflected pass by CB Nickell Robey-Coleman, and had multiple other pass breakups and solid plays in coverage. Barron on the other hand nearly had an interception himself and make plenty of tackles in open space.DT Ndamukong SuhI will stake my hot taek right now: There has been no better Los Angeles Ram since the playoffs started than Ndamukong Suh. Suh was absolutely unblock-able once again last night, even if the stat sheet only shows two tackles. He’s as pronounced as you can get in the run game, but he’s also been a bull as a pass rusher (particularly last night). It’ll be a shame if that’s the last we see of Suh in horns because his postseason performance wholeheartedly earned his years salary.DT Michael BrockersJust like his counterpart above, Brockers probably played the best game of his entire season last night. Brock had a combined seven tackles, though he was a monster in the run game. It was nice to finally see the duo next to Aaron Donald play to their capabilities.CB Marcus PetersAfter allowing a catch to Julian Edelman in his coverage
Dakota Allen Jersey Baby , Peters was very solid and arguably the best defensive back on the team. From the top of my head I recall Peters being targeted 4-5 times and only allowing that single reception. He also had at least two pass deflections.Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals film preview: Sam Bradford is back! Sam Bradford is the best at what he does, which is making bank while making no positive impact on a team whatsoever. Oh hell yeah, brother. He hasn’t been in a Rams uniform in four years and nothing’s changed since then. If anything he’s gotten worse, especially when running the Arizona Cardinals offense which is the best example of a bad offense. Against the Washington Redskins, the Cardinals had nine offensive drives. Only four drives had more than five plays. Only two drives produced more than 40 yards of offense. It felt like Cardinals offensive coordinator Mike McMcoy accidentally brought his preseason play sheet to the game last Sunday. Sam Bradford’s excellenceLittle has changed about our once charming boy. He doesn’t respond well to pressure, he can’t really act on his feet and it seems like he doesn’t see the whole field and the options available to him in the moment—which is music to Ndamukong Suh’s ears. He cannot wait to see his old draft mate. An obvious third-down passing play (Cardinals were 1-of-8 on third-down) and Bradford stares down his receiver. The defensive back picks up on it almost immediately. WR Larry Fitzgerald is an obvious favorite for Bradford—he led the team with seven receptions for 76 yards. But more so than Fitzgerald, Bradford’s favorite target was the receiver closest to him. The Cardinals had a third-and-five situation. Bradford has two receivers running across the middle from left to right. Fitzgerald has tight man-coverage, but he’s ahead of his defender. A ball thrown slightly ahead of Fitzgerald could lead to a tight completion and a first down. Instead
Dakota Allen Jersey nfl draft , Bradford hits WR Christian Kirk, who is in front of his defender but a yard short of the first down. The drive ends and the Cardinals punt. McCoy playcallingRams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips could leave his defense in nickel and just sit in zone-coverage all day. It wouldn’t matter the down-and-distance. The Cardinals offense is that boring and predictable. Bradford didn’t go long very often. His only big completion of the game came on the first play of the second half (to Fitzgerald). After that, it was back to the same routine for the offense. This bunch formation has been a frequent card played by McCoy both in the preseason and in Week One of the regular season. Washington’s pass-defense only allowed 153 passing yards. The Cardinals put together one scoring drive—a 14-play drive for a touchdown in garbage time. It won’t be a chess match against Phillips and McMcoy on Sunday. It will be a game of checkers where McMcoy announces his moves as he’s making them. “Okay, I am moving my piece here which could leave me open to be jumped, but I am betting Wade will not see it.” *Wade jumps the piece without looking up from his Twitter*“Damn it. How does he know?”
