Kamren Kinchens' Big Play

[Allen2McVay]

No ... not the 103-yard interception pick-six.

Not the diving 2nd interception inside the five-yard-line either.

It's funny how you can miss something that is a huge factor in a big win. I was watching a re-play of Sunday's win for the 4th time; and there was a tremendous play by Kinchens that I had not previously focused on.

In Overtime, with the Seahawks driving, we all remember the 4th-and-1 stop .... AND ... we all remember the 3rd-and-1 stop to set-up fourth down. However, it's the second down play that I wanted to note. The Seahawks had 2nd-and-7 from the Rams' 22. Kenneth Walker went over the left-side and cut up-field untouched headed for a certain first down inside the 15-yard-line.

Kinchens came flying-up from inside the 10-yard-line. He and Walker were running at full speed and met head-on, chest-to-chest just inside the 17. There were no blockers or other defenders on the play. It was just Kenneth Walker (at 211 pounds) and Kamren Kinchens (at 207 pounds).

Kinchens stopped him cold ... dead-in-his-tracks. It was a beautiful one-on-one run-stuff by the rookie safety.

That play set-up the 3rd-and-1, which led to the 4th-and-1.

If any of you guys have access to view that play, I would strongly recommend taking a few minutes to do so.

Kinchens had his best game as a Ram last Sunday, for the reasons you stated. I noticed him flying around, rocking Rainy City Bitch Pigeons like he was hunting them to extinction like their cousins, the passenger pigeon.

He played like he wants a starting spot. Very hopeful for his future as a versatile safety.

Huge stand-up tackle. When that play happened I was conflicted as it is “hard to stop a team 2x needing only a yard”. But we did!

Kinchens had his best game as a Ram last Sunday, for the reasons you stated.

And for another reason too. Curl was dinged up and KK got his chance. The kid came advertised as rangy, a big hitter with great ball instincts. That's a dead-on assessment. Some guys get their chance (for whatever reasons) and are tentative, perhaps so as not to fook up. Others trust their instincts. 1 game does not a career make but dayem, give him more snaps.

Nice catch Allen.

The dude had what - 4 game changing plays in that game.?Definitely deserving of the player of the week award he got.

He really is exactly as advertised in his pre draft scouting report. Great instincts and play making ability along with big hit tackler when he wraps.

I believe he has only 4.65 speed ao not a perfect specimen. But he sure does have the game changing ability. I think he had 11 interceptions coming out but someone can fact check me.

Hopefully Tyreek hill doesn’t run past him for 3TDs thus week.

Looked pretty speedy to me running back that pick 6.
