The Los Angeles Rams are 7-0 for the first time since the Reagan administration.

That may be the biggest story line in NFL as far as we are all concerned Los Angeles Rams Womens Hoodie , but the rest of the league has their own headlines as well. Like, did you guys know that Jamaal Charles was still in the league? The Jacksonville Jaguars just cut him but I was surprised to see him on my Twitter feed. Crazy.Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell remains a no-show after bye weekA case of no news being the news here. Steelers players and fans were under the assumption that Bell would be back after their Week 7 bye. This obviously didn’t happen and Bell remains fairly quiet, though he did “like” a tweet from Ian Rapoport that could telegraph his intentions moving forward. There’s a lot of confusion involved with this story, and I’m sure it’s one that the Steelers can’t wait to have in their rear-view mirror. Some of the people in the organization are taking it in stride and have a few jokes as well.Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose LB Kwon AlexanderThe league’s worst scoring defense loses their man in the middle to a torn ACL. Alexander is a captain for the second straight year and was coming off a Pro Bowl season. After Alexander sustained the injury in the first half Adarius Taylor filled in and recorded a sack along with 6 tackles.Arizona Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson demands trade, has a change of heartA story in two actseterson’s frustration is understandable. His initial trade demand comes after the Cardinals received a 45-10 beatdown at the hands of the subpar Denver Broncos. At 1-6, the Cardinals are going nowhere fast and Peterson’s talents could be utilized right away on a legitimate contender. This statement apparently came after a meeting with team president Michael Bidwill, who assured Peterson that the focus remains on winning. I don’t know how believable that is with a 1-6 record but the meeting placated Peterson, who is committed to the Cardinals for now.Oakland Raiders trade WR Amari Cooper to the Dallas CowboysI’m not entirely sure where to begin this one. While Cooper may have been a first round selection once upon a time, his inconsistent hands completely diminished his value. Earlier speculation about his trade was that he was probably worth a 3rd round pick. The Cowboys needed to add a playmaker. But this reeks of desperation. It’s a damn shame that the Raiders will probably squander their 3 first round picks in the draft next year.New York Giants trade CB Eli Apple to the New Orleans Saints“Hey, you know what would be funny? If I said ‘the Giants just traded Eli,’ because then everyone would think I mean Eli Manning Womens Customized Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , but it’s really just Eli Apple.”-Everyone on Twitter.In all seriousness, Apple is a former first rounder that had a pretty tumultuous tenure in New York. Safety Landon Collins even went as far to say he was a “cancer” to the locker room last season. While the belief is that those issues were smoothed over, a change of scenery might be best for Apple, who is going to a Saints team that badly needs help in the secondary.Giants trade DT Damon Harrison to the Detroit Lions“Snacks” Harrison is one of the premier run stoppers in the NFL. Pro Football Focus has him ranked as the #6 interior lineman this season. It’s hard to see this move as nothing more than a concession from the Giants. They’re a team that is rebuilding and will be forced to deal with some poor offseason acquisitions (see: trading for Alec Ogletree) that led them here.Down judge fired by NFL after missing blatant penaltyThe call in question comes from the Cleveland Browns-Los Angeles Chargers game in Week 6. The obvious false start is missed, leading to a touchdown by the Chargers, as shown below.The Football Zebras article indicates that it wasn’t just this play, but a larger body of work that led to Cruz’ immediate firing. The NFL Referees Association will likely fight the firing. Like my emotional issues, the New Orleans Saints offense is multi-layered and a lot to unpack. They have a great passing game with Drew Brees, a solid, two-back running game with Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara and an X-factor in former BYU product Taysom Hill. While they struggled in the first two weeks of the season, the Saints offense is as good as ever and is primed to take advantage of the Los Angeles Rams defense. Brees can throw Cooper Kupp Jersey Elite , the offense can take advantageThe Saints are on third-and-two. They have two running backs capable of getting those two yards. Yet the Saints go aggressive in the first quarter with a 20-yard shot. Drew Brees can put the ball where it needs to be and leads the league in completion percentage. That’s not to say he can’t make mistakes, either. During the Vikings game, Brees forced a throw midway through getting smacked by an unblocked edge-rusher. The throw went right into the hands of Harrison Smith. This play is similar to what the Rams ran against the Green Bay Packers last week. It’s a simple in route across the middle, but the offense takes advantage of the large amount of space in the second level. The pockets of space the Vikings gave the Saints on this play and others is what the Rams defense is sometimes guilty of doing. The linebackers have questionable zone-coverage awareness and often let plays like this through. And it doesn’t always have to come from routes across the middle, either. The Saints have Kamara make a cut up the middle for a 17-yard gain. The linebacker gives space and gets burned on the run after the catch. This is a third-and-12, so it’s understandable why the Saints can find some space. However, the Ravens allowed two receivers to get open near the first down marker. Benjamin Watson cuts towards the sideline while another receiver gets open across the middle (the receiver furthers from the line of scrimmage). Kamara and Ingram can do it allThe pair have proven they can do whatever is asked of them, whether it be running the ball on short-yardage situations or getting involved in the passing game. New Orleans have played stout run-defenses the last three weeks with two of them (Washington Redskins, Vikings) being among the Top-10 in the league. While the running-game is slow at the start of the game with one and two yard gains (and sometimes losing yards) Ingram and Kamara are capable of grinding out chunks when needed. This is on fourth-and-two. Saints try to show they’re passing, yet run Ingram up the middle. He breaks through the bodies of two defensive linemen. Ingram gains five yards. The Rams have the No. 16 run-defense in the league. Since Oct. 7, the defense has allowed at least 135 rushing yards or more every game. In the last two games Aaron Donald Jersey Elite , the Saints have been relatively unsuccessful rushing the ball outside of the guards. With Cory Littleton and new-Ram Dante Fowler, the Rams defense can keep the Saints unsuccessful in those areas. Taysom Hill and the RPOThe Saints will use third-string quarterback Taysom Hill just about everywhere. He’s played quarterback, he’s been used as an extra blocker and lined up at receiver. The Saints mix in quite a few RPO’s with Hill. When he’s on the field, the Rams defense needs to be alert because he or Kamara (normally the running back lined up when he’s on the field) will be picking up a big chunk of yards. When the Saints played the Redskins, they were still working on this aspect of their offense and when they play the Rams, it still not might be at its strongest potential. That’s a scary thought. Against the Redskins, it became apparent the RPO’s with Hill needed some work. New Orleans had third-and-short against the Redskins and instead of handing the ball to Kamara, Hill kept the ball for the first down. If Kamara kept the ball, it’s a 50+ yard touchdown.
