26CornerBlitz Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Week 11 NFL Picks Straight Up: Rams Overpower Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) vs. Los Angeles Rams (9-1) in Mexico City Monday, 8:15 p.m., ESPN This is what everyone’s been waiting for since late September, when they both looked unbeatable. They’ve both lost, but the Chiefs still look more unbeatable with an offense that keeps overcoming their defense’s obvious shortcomings. The Rams’ defense has shown its flaws in recent weeks, too. It comes down to which defense can be trusted more, for the whole game or for any given make-or-break play. That one’s easy — the Rams. Until they prove otherwise, that is. Prediction: Rams, 38-34 Edited November 16, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Even as a Lesser Option, Sammy Watkins Would Come to the Chiefs Again Adam Teicher, ESPN Staff Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Sammy Watkins is having to confront his past this week as he prepares for Monday night's game between his current team, the Kansas City Chiefs, and his former one, the Los Angeles Rams. Watkins said he would have been happy to stay with the Rams, even though his one season in Los Angeles wasn’t a wild success. That was before he got to free agency and the Chiefs jumped in with a three-year, $48 million offer that made his decision easy. He hasn’t changed his mind on that even though he’s been a fourth option on a team that relies more heavily on Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Marcus Mariota = $100 million man? Plus, Le'Veon Bell's value By Bucky Brooks, NFL.com Analyst Former NFL player and scout Bucky Brooks knows the ins and outs of this league, providing keen insight in his notebook. The topics of this edition include: -- How less is more for the Rams. TWO-POINT CONVERSION: Quick takes on developments across the NFL 2) How the Rams' offensive simplicity creates headaches for NFL defensive coordinators. I don't know if Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has access to Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon, but when I look at the Rams' attack, I believe the offensive wizard adheres to an offensive philosophy that matches the no-frills view of the World Series-winning manager: "Do simple better." The Rams are arguably the best offense in football, yet they rarely change their personnel and use a small menu of plays each week. Although the simplistic approach is masked by exotic fly motions and shifts, L.A.'s offense is driven by the team's commitment to the 11 personnel package (one running back, one tight end and three wide receivers). At a time when offensive creativity is being celebrated at every turn, the Rams are lighting up scoreboards around the league with a straightforward offense that features the same folks on the field on every down. Don't believe me? According to Next Gen Stats, the Rams are in their patented 11 personnel package on 96.3 percent of offensive snaps -- the highest rate of any NFL team by a significant margin (Miami is next with 80.1 percent). That means the team's core unit (Todd Gurley, Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks, Tyler Higbee and Cooper Kupp prior to his season-ending ACL injury) essentially stays on the field for a 60-minute game. With a mentality that NFL football is indeed a real-life version of "Madden 19," McVay has figured out that it is best to keep your best players on the field at all times to increase the offense's chances of scoring points. The baby-faced offensive wizard is doing what top gamers have done for years: build the offense around your best players instead of your favorite plays.
