Interesting piece
here from Football Outsiders on personnel groupings/trends.
Rams ran 11 personnel 84.9% of the time- most in the NFL. Cincy was 2nd. Rams also ran the 2nd fewest 2+ TE sets (losing Mundt and them not having faith in Hopkins/Blanton during the regular season was certainly a factor) and ran a total of zero plays with 2 RBs.
"Our database has McVay calling just one play with two running backs as a head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, in a Week 5 game against the Seahawks in 2017. I believe it's a mistake, with tight end/H-back Derek Carrier lining up as fullback in the I-formation. You can't say that the man doesn't have a philosophy. The Rams only used 106 unique common lineups on offense; second place was the Vikings with 242. The Rams' most common lineup (Darrell Henderson, Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Tyler Higbee, and the fully healthy line) was used on 20.3% of their plays. No other team even topped 10% in any given lineup. Some of that is good health, but it's astonishing just how far above every other team the Rams were."
