no one needs to respond . . . it's just a comparison
This chart shows the percentage of "perfectly covered plays"
as charted by PFF.
It shows that the Rams had a lot fewer in 2021 than 2022.
I said during the first set of acrimony that the 2021 defense
was not as good and stated why I thought that. This is
just one indication, not the whole ball of wax, but one thing.
It also shows HOW godo the 2020 defense was.
It also shows that the 2021 Rams defense, though not as good
as 2020 was best in the NFL in all players doing their job
on the most players.
it also shows that when Staley went to Chargers their percentages
went down. Was be dumb? No. Just circimstances.
This also shows Chiefs, which next chart will get to
This chart shows press coverage on outside receiver
No one does it more than Chiefs
Fine. Rams run off (soft) more than anyone. As this
other info shows there are risks and benefits.
Spags, who I like, never had issue with, he kept
Pats from perfect season. Was not a help to Rams
but wished him well.
But he plays his way. Plays tight press more than anyone
last two years.
Guess which team has given up the most touchdown passes
the last 2 years?
The Chiefs.
Rams? 3rd fewest TDs per game allowed
Interceptions per game?
Chiefs 17th best in NFL
Rams? 5th best.
In 2022 Chiefs have good chance to win SB
with a risky pass defense that is good enough
to get them where they are.
In 2021 Rams had a safe defense that was
good enough to get them were they were and in
almost every measurable is better than Chiefs
except for the intangible of how it looks.
So, maybe one scheme looks far worse
to the eye. It just is displeasing.
I think things simply come down to that.
Three years ago a handful of people
were not happy with aggressive

the first 1-minute sounds familiar.
So, in the NFL it can be pick your poison.
Again--no one needs to respond.... this is just a reflection that
some other fans have what is wanted here and want that guy fired.
Now, that guy could win them a Super Bowl playing that same way
he did then---aggresively.
Either way can work, if executed and they need to be suited to
your fronts, you skill level, and many factors we fans don't
know about.
