Reason 1,428 why i think PFF is nonsense,
Colby Parkinson had a higher rating than Davis Allen. Why is that a big deal? CP caught 2 passes for a negative 6 yards, including one of the catches he fumbled. So basically he'd have been better had he dropped the passes. And Allen catches 1 for a TD with no turnover and has a lower score.

Sure, shape your opinion of a player based solely on when the ball gets thrown to them. In actuality, everything gets taken into account, routes on plays they aren't targeted, run plays, etc.

Not going to be too critical about a win.
Like some others I thought the DL may have an even bigger impact but all in all they and the D were exceptional.

When I heard Texans RG Engram wouldn't start and then both Center Andrews and Left Tackle Robinson were carted off it seemed as though an unproven OL to start with was now ripe to be embarrassed and that didn't happen.

We won and really it was a fine start, the O should find it's rhythm against a less worthy Titan team and the D will hopefully continue to play at a high level

Limmer graded out 29.9 in pass blocking. He is so good at run blocking, but IMHO, is too much of a liability in pass protection. I would go with Dedich over him.

McVay always prioritizes pass pro. So yeah Limmer's ass will probably be on the bench for a while after that game. Dedich isn't as physical but he seems to know who his assignment is.

Ideally of course we get our starting five out there. We're gonna need them with the opponents on the sched.

Quick question: Dolac was credited with 1 solo / 1 assist.
I assume these are ST tackles?
Any idea where I can find ST stats? like, they're nowhere. Like, no one cares about STs or something.
 
Our biggest free agent pick up on defense was our highest rated player on defense.

That's a double whammy for Atlanta. :)
You know that their front office is thinking that they could have won this game with Landman back there.

Yeah the pass blocking is concerning since Stafford staying healthy and not battered is important to competing towards a title.

Now unless they feel Limmer can play and hold up in pass protection, I would go with McClendon at RG or bring up Bowles from the practice squad. Of course that is if both guards cannot play. If Avila can go at LG, then start Dedich at RG with Limmer as a reserve. Limmer is a better Center then Guard, but he struggles in pass protection and does not appear to have improved in that area.

Anyone know Shelton's grade? He looked awful to me. I was not a fan of his the first time around. He was very meh, and now he is years older, so perhaps he will only be worse this time around. He won't kill you, but ideally should not be starting. He's really just a useful backup IMO. But we paid him $12 million almost fully guaranteed! I would have rather ran it back with Limmer and spent that money elsewhere. Although not perfect, Limmer gives us more weight/anchor in the middle. I think people are bias against Limmer because he sadly got owned 2 plays in a row, at the most important time, against an elite DT in Jalen Carter, which likely prevented the Rams from a Super Bowl appearance. But Limmer wasn't bad last year. Particularly when you consider he was rookie. He should be improved as a sophomore with more experience making NFL calls and picking up on NFL stunts from opposing d-linemen. Would I like to update from Limmer? Yes. But I'd be surprised if Shelton is an upgrade.

The Rams draft insanely well, which has resulted in lots of talent at a cheap price. If we didn't fumble our pro level signings and re-signings so frequently, and instead were cap efficient with those dollars, imagine how unstoppable we'd be?

I read 59 or less. the fact that no one is talking about it is concerning, he's going to get Stafford creamed.
