Rams personnel report: Week 6 vs. San Francisco
After an eight-sack performance a week ago against the Washington Football Club, the Los Angles Rams were held without a sack in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
San Francisco offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan devised an impressive game plan to keep Aaron Donald from taking over the game.
It’s only the second game this season Donald was held without a sack.
“It was a lot of perimeter-type stuff, where you’re seeing a lot of those kind of flip plays to (49ers WR) Deebo Samuel,” Rams head coach Sean McVay said. “A lot of the toss actions. He (Donald) was definitely influencing the game, but in a lot of instances, he wasn’t necessarily at the point of attack and in some cases he’s on the backside.
“So, a lot of the concepts and different things that they were activating to minimize the impact you can have as an interior player, where they really stretched your edges in your second and third levels.”
After a three-sack performance last week, linebacker Troy Reeder was relegated to 20 snaps on special teams, and did not see the field on defense with Micah Kiser returning to the starting lineup.
And McVay said rookie Cam Akers got just one snap on offense because of the low snap count on that side of the ball and going with Darrell Henderson Jr. and Malcolm Brown in the running back rotation.
“It was nothing that Cam didn’t do,” McVay said. “It was more of a result of us not really being able to establish the continuity, the rhythm that we’d like to be able to do off offensively, where you can activate a bunch of different things and be able to get some different guys touches.”
