Regression

[D-train]

2023 Season: 16 games played, 8.0 sacks, 28 combined tackles, 25 assists.
2022 Season: 11 games played, 5.0 sacks, 27 combined tackles, 22 assists, 1 forced fumble.
2021 Season: 17 games played, 12.5 sacks, 38 combined tackles, 46 assists, 4 forced fumbles.
2020 Season: 16 games played, 13.5 sacks, 27 combined tackles, 18 assists, 4 forced fumbles.
2019 Season: 16 games played, 12.5 sacks, 29 combined tackles, 19 assists, 2 forced fumbles.
2018 Season: 16 games played, 20.5 sacks, 41 combined tackles, 18 assists, 4 forced fumbles.

So, he went from a game wrecker to a guy that got 13 sacks in 27 games.....to taking two seasons off. And now? He is going to be the Defensive Player of the Year again if you ask Ram fans. He is good, but come on guys, this is a lot of hype for a guy that hasn't played a football game since January 14th of 2024 and turned 35 in May.

Going to be the biggest down fall since Rome. Rome Italy, not Jim Rome after he call Jim Everett Chrissy....lol

My bigger issue is not regression, but did we get better in any area over last year?

Rams got better at dl, cb, and safety. We got worse at cb and safety. Stayed the same at everywhere else. Maybe a bit better at backup DE and DL with mills full season.

But, stayed neutral everywhere else.

You could be right. My hope is that another year of Darnold with JSN, Kupp and Shaheed makes them better. Another year together for the O Line makes them better. Our Special Teams are still better than LA's. Some times getting better on paper doesn't make you better on the field because there was no continuity. Google "Dream Team Philadelphia Eagles" if you don't believe me.

I was thinking that too, didn't we have one of the youngest teams in the league last season? That means another year's experience for our good young players like Zabel, Emmanwori, and all the other guys still under 25.

Yep our oldest guy is our kicker, the Rams is their QB...I think Price will be better than Walker too. Full season of Shaheed after a full training camp will feed a town full of fat people.

Seems like as Seattle fans we've been having to deal with regression, ie Cal and perhaps Myers now. I saw a thing on Matt Stafford. It was pointing out there was a fair amount of luck involved in his performance last season. In terms of the quality of his passes his interception rate should have been fairly signifcanitly higher. There should be an element of regression there. And i would think in terms of his age and injury history as well. For all the additions to their defense there could be some regression with the Rams offense

Yep. Totally agree. Donald as well. And Garrett won't even sniff that number of sacks.

That I disagree with. The one thing i think id bet on is Garrett having a strong season. He had 23 sacks on a crappy team. Teams could focus on stopping him but they couldnt. He was getting those sacks even being double and triple teamed. Put him on a better defensive team where its going to be harder to focus on him, and on top of that add Donald next to him?

And another thing is the Rams should be leading more often than the Browns. That should give Garrett more sack opportunities with opposing teams more often in passing situations. The over under is 15.75 sacks. I think im taking the over

Especially the two games against the Tards when Brissette drops back 50 times each game. That's going to probably be at least five right there.

Its Simple! ha Check JSs reaction at the end. LOL
