Is this accurate?

Why I’m asking is that I saw this site list numbers that didn’t match what I saw on other posts. I don’t have a subscription to PFF to check overall grades.

Has he lost a step? Yes
Has he helped shore up a consistently weak ILB corp? Absolutely.
Now all we need is a decent Edge rusher and health in the secondary.

I haven't gotten to watch most games. But seeing this board during games, you'd think he was the worst LB in the league. Glad to see this!

 

[I like Rams]

He's a huge upgrade in the middle from what we were working with last season. Him and Jones are doing a real good job imo.

There’s your answer

A lack of pressure on the passer is always going to make your ILB'ers appear less effective.

One might also add that when your playing short-armed less than 6-1 Gaines & Donald along with 6-2 Copeland in the middle of your DL the quick throws over the middle are much easier to make.

I am fine with our ILB'ers after all the years past dealing with broken, injured, slow ILB'ers.

Wagner was a good signing, no question.

Really stiffened our run D and has been a tremendous mentor for Jones.

If Snead can add an upgrade edge player before the deadline then I believe that Rams will have a top 5 D. I’m serious.

I'm not so sure that our pass rush is a big of an issue as some are making it. However Wagner has been a stud this year for us. I don't even think he's lost a step. He's never been the cover ILB type.

I think it’s a misperception, the defense has been playing pretty well but the offense has been letting them down. In this day and age if you can hold teams around 20 points you’ve got a good chance to win but the offense only scored 10-9-10 in the losses. They’ve also gotten gashed on the ground a few times which Wagner gets the blame for whether or not he’s responsible.

Most times whiners won't throw to the first down marker on 3rd and long. This time they did and it was an incompletion. I swear all you gotta do is tackle and you shut down their offense. I know its easier said than done but our defense should make that a top priority all week. Morris should have them working on the fundamentals of tackling. Don't have to try a jarring hit. Just bring them down.

 

[snackdaddy]

If it wasn't for a bad call on that low block penalty whiners would be down 35-16.

49ers have to pay catch up. That is not their game. Jimmy GQ is only effective if he stays with the short stuff.

 

[OntarioRam]

Wagner started slow but has really taken off. Perhaps his slow-ish start was unsurprisingly so, learning a new defence with no pre-season snaps. Hopefully, he can keep this up. He doesn't jump off the screen with regularity like he did in his prime, but he is playing very good football - I was harsh on him earlier in the season and he sure has silenced me with his play.

 

[Merlin]

Dominate the 9ers and you're untouchable Wags. Let's go!

 

[Kupped]

Good pass rush + a lead = Jimmy Interception.

Rams need a pass rush.

Here is the full ranking.

Wagner #1
Ernest Jones #10

 

[OntarioRam]

Great to see Ernest Jones rounding out the top 10! He looks like a stud.

It feels like it has been a while since the Rams really hit a home-run on a mid-to-late draft pick. When you rarely have picks in rounds 1 and 2, you need some of those home-runs in round 3 and onward.

Lol, I just noticed I did it again. Posted the Late Game thread stuff in this one.
