Member » Aaron Donald has a pair of defensive player of the year

trophies. He set a record for sacks by an interior lineman this year.So congratulations future Rams opponents Marshall Faulk Jersey , Donald says he can still improve.The already incredible Rams defensive tackle told Gary Klein of the : “I’m definitely going to come back better.”How he would do that seems to be the question, after a 20.5-sack season and the reality that he dominates games routinely. But after falling short in the Super Bowl, Donald said he would take a few days off before returning to work on next season, with specific plans in mind.“All aspects of my game — everything,” he replied when asked what he could improve. “Watch the film of a game where I got slowed down and try to find a way that I can beat that and find ways to defeat it no matter what they’re trying to do. . . .“Can’t let myself get satisfied or comfortable. So as long as I stay like that, stay hungry, we’ll be fine. I’m definitely going to come back better than I was this year.”Donald didn’t have a sack in the postseason Nolan Cromwell Jersey , though he did have one of the few hits on Tom Brady. And of course, there was the falling short of the team goal, which he has already mentioned as motivation. That’s what you want to hear out of your best player, especially when you give him the richest contract ever for a defensive player.Los Angeles Rams vs. Minnesota Vikings: 10 deep dive observations Ten observations from Los Angeles Rams vs. Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. But first, the snap count distributions.OffenseDefense Special Teams 1.Leaders galore. The majority of Week Four games have yet to be played, but Los Angeles currently has the NFL leader in passing yards (Jared Goff), rushing yards (Todd Gurley) Kurt Warner Jersey , three of the eight top receivers (Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp), and the top tackler in the NFC (Cory Littleton). 2.Kirk Cousins had a field day, but the Vikings couldn’t run. It’s no secret that Minnesota’s offensive line has struggled, but Minnesota’s rushing attack was still listless. Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray combined for only 22 yards on 12 carries. The Rams have now held opposing rushers to under 100 yards in three of four games to start the season. 3.Averaging a first down is anything but average. Among the ridiculous stats of this week, the Rams offense racked up 10.1 yards PER PLAY on offense. Los Angeles is second in the league so far in yards per play (7.38) and passing yards per play (9.81) behind Tampa Bay so far this season. 4.Sacks in bunches. Cousins was getting the ball out lightning quick, but the fourth quarter was big for the previously sagging Rams’ pass rush. Aaron Donald picked up two sacks Joe Namath Jersey , Ndamukong Suh snagged one and John Franklin-Myers had the decisive sack-fumble to secure the win. 5.Secondary struggles. Marcus Peters gutted out all 74 defensive snaps and Sam Shields stepped in admirably, but both had a hard time containing Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. All three of the Vikings touchdowns were assessed to Peters’ and Shields’ coverage, according to PFF, including the first score, where Peters gambled on an interception and was beaten by a tremendous throw from Cousins to Aldrick Robinson. 6.Goff is historic. The “system quarterback” conversation surrounding Goff seems like it happened a millennia ago. Goff became the first quarterback in NFL history with three straight games of 350 passing yards and a 75 percent completion percentage, according to ESPN Stats and Info. 7.His weapons are historic too. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the Rams Thursday night became only the second team in NFL history to have three wide receivers gain at least 100 yards and each score a touchdown along with the 1995 Detroit Lions. 8.Fun rhyme Cooper Kupp Jersey , bad results. Kickin’ Sam Ficken is struggling and the Rams had better hope a long layoff will be enough for Greg Zuerlein to return. Ficken missed a chip shot 28-yard field goal that could have put the game out of reach to get him to 1 of 3 on the season. This historic offense is papering over the kicking game problems, but the Rams may have to look elsewhere if Ficken struggles again. 9.Andrew Whitworth is human. “Big Whit” was beat for a sack in the third quarter by Danielle Hunter, but the Rams still have the fourth best sack rate in the league with sacks surrendered on only 3.7 percent of dropbacks. 10.On the way up. Gerald Everett played 23 snaps, by far his largest total of the season, after Tyler Higbee briefly exited for an injury. The tight ends are still an afterthought, but the Rams’ first three tight end set of the season yielded a touchdown when Woods roasted his defender for a 31-yard score in the third quarter.
