... Best group of pass protectors in the NFL .... best team in sacks allowed per pass attempt.
It;s always really good to hear positive, optimistic takes from national analysts, especially ones with generally good reps. But then as I always say, the national analysts don't know every single one of the 32 NFL teams the way we know the Rams. They can miss things.
For example this bit. The issue with the Rams last year was not sacks, it was pressures. And I am not saying they can't improve at that---most likely, they can. My only thing here is just being more accurate about 2019. I once broke it down and this was what I came up with:
The QB was pressured 7 or more times in 10 games and the Rams went 3-7 in those games. In games where they allowed
7 or 8 pressures (6 games) they went 3-3. Also–when they allowed more than 8 pressures (4 games) they went 0-4.
The QB was pressured less than 7 times in 6 games and the Rams went 6-0 in those games.
