Out of those 89 passes, 82 (92.1 percent) came off play action. The vast majority of those passes were read from deep to short, a completely different mentality from the West Coast Offense passes designed to hit a man in the flats on a quarterback's third step. The deep-to-short read play-action game is the main reason why Goff has 16 pass attempt of 20 or more yards traveled this season, with four resulting in long touchdowns.
optimumscouting.com wrote:By committing to "minus splits" by receivers and a single bell-cow back, there are few pre-snap tendencies to scout when the Rams go under center. Defenses have to live and die with their decisions on post-snap run-pass conflicts. This is very different from other teams, like Gruden's Raiders, who telegraph much by personnel and situation.

from what i can tell deep to short reads has often been the rams m.o., whether throwing from play-action or under center, and can be seen in the all-22 sack clips i posted.
i think committing to 11 groupings almost exclusively could be added to the list of why the rams pre-snap tendencies are so hard to scout, especially considering how many different looks they use from this package, including a variety of plus and minus wr splits.
anyway, great stuff max, thanks for posting it!

Over the last three weeks, the Los Angeles Rams have thrown 39 passes from under center, all of which came off play action. In six games this year, they have only thrown seven straight dropback passes from under center, with six of them coming in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

From that article:

So then combine that, with this (from NextGen stats):

"gurley's success rate under center can be attributed to him facing double the rate of light boxes.... gurley faces the least number of defenders in the box."
then the chart shows gurley's success rate vs 8+ in the box, close to a whopping 70%, vs a league average below 45%.
seems to me that gurley's success can be attributed to much than just facing a high rate of light boxes given he's kicking the shit out of whatever he's facing, light or crowded.
