Well, good thing we’re moving Penei over, that will be an epic battle.

AI:

Myles Garrett primarily rushes from the right side of the defensive line, aligning over the offense’s left tackle for roughly 75% to 85% of his pass-rush snaps. He spends the remaining 15% to 25% rushing from the left side, lining up inside, or dropping into coverage. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Garrett’s alignment breakdown shifts depending on down-and-distance, specific offensive matchups, and Cleveland’s defensive schemes:

  • Right Side (vs. Left Tackle): ~75-85%
    • Garrett’s base alignment is right defensive end.
    • This side gives him the most optimal angle to utilize his signature speed-to-bull rush and bend techniques.
    • He is often isolated on this side to maximize pass-rush win rate, which historically leads the NFL. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Left Side (vs. Right Tackle): ~15-20%
    • The Browns frequently move him across the formation to exploit favorable matchups.
    • For instance, he may shift to the left side to target a weaker right tackle or to attack the opponent’s “blind side” on key passing downs. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Interior / Other: ~0-5%
    • On occasion, he will be lined up inside as a defensive tackle (e.g., in a “nasal” alignment over the center) to create confusion and disrupt timing. [1, 2]

The Rams now have last year’s MVP and last year’s DPOY, both of whom they traded for.

A healthy Lions squad can beat the Rams even with Garrett.

Problem is, we haven’t been healthy since 2023. Please good lord let it be so.

If its just a regular trade, like no retained salary put side of standard stuff.

Garretts cap hit for the RAMS is only

$9.1m this year

$15.9m in 2027

Then $21.1m in 2028.

Verse cap hit for them is only $4m

I agree with this point. But damn their best team right now in NFL.

Every team is the best team in June. Let’s see who’s healthy when we get to January. Unhealthy teams don’t win Superbowls and if LAR isn’t healthy, they’ll be just as out of it as anyone else.

Yeah, but I never ever ever ever…ever wanna hear about super teams again. But even if one works every 10-15 years you guys never shut up about it

It also gives the rookie QB room for some mistakes with that defense backing him up if he has to play in 26 and moreso when Stafford is done.

I agree with you. And know Rams are the best team RIGHT NOW. Does it mean they will win it all no, but getting the best edge rusher in the game is something cant be looked by at all.

It makes them better by a lot. If I was them I would have done it too.

But they had the horses (re: what Cleveland wanted) to get the deal done. I know Philly was in heavily for him too - in fact I heard that a month back - but they didn’t have the young edge Cleveland wanted in return.

WE DO, but it would have required given them Hutch. And Hutch >>> Verse.

It was a good move for the Rams, but they were also in the best position to make such a move.

The Salary cap is why Philly is getting rid of AJ Brown and why the Browns traded Myles Garrett. You can do a lot to manipulate it, but at some point it becomes too much.

Don’t worry - if the Rams don’t win the Superbowl, they’ll all still think this is the best trade ever because “they tried” or some shit.

How much space do the rams have?

As did GB with the trade for Micah. (Course, Myles hasn’t missed a game in 3 years.)

Still, won’t lie: this was a gut punch when I saw the news. Both for the hit to the Lions’ chances, but also because it’s the RAMS. Ugh. A pox on all Sean McVay-led teams.
