Translating…

In a highly-anticipated rematch of an NFC Championship game mired in controversy, the Los Angeles Rams demoralized the visiting New Orleans Saints by a score of 27-9 in a game defined by injuries.
Far worse than any tally in the Saints’ loss column is the loss of Drew Brees to an injured thumb. But while the Saints played without its star quarterback for the majority of the game, the Rams got a brief taste of the injury bug themselves.
Head coach Sean McVay summoned Second-year guard Jamil Demby to play right guard after Austin Blythe suffered a lower left ankle sprain during the Rams’ fourth offensive series. The team was also forced to go without its usual two-tight end rotation when Tyler Higbee left the game with what was originally deemed a chest injury but turned out to be a lung bruise. Gerald Everett played the rest of the game at tight end as the Rams adjusted to strictly operating in 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR) offensively.
The snap counts from Week 2 are below and we’ll analyze them here, beginning with the offense.
 followed up last week’s two-touchdown performance with 6 carries for 37 yards – which should serve as a reminder for those who think he’s surpassed Gurley as the team’s primary running back.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>OFFENSIVE LINE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Four of the Rams’ five starting offensive linemen – left tackle Andrew Whitworth, left guard Joe Noteboom, center Brian Allen, and right tackle Rob Havenstein – played all 70 snaps.</li>
<li>Havenstein in particular struggled in his one-on-one matchups with Saints’ defensive end Cam Jordan.</li>
<li>Back-up guard Jamil Demby played a quiet 42 snaps in place of Austin Blythe (28 snaps), but did his job for the most part.</li>
<li>If Blythe is unable to play in Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday night, Demby would make his first career start against a defensive line that features NFL sack leader Myles Garrett. It would also be the first time a Rams offensive lineman missed a start due to injury since McVay was hired back in 2017.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>TIGHT ENDS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>After alternating between two-tight ends in the first half, the Rams stuck with Gerald Everett (50 snaps) for the rest of the way after Tyler Higbee (24 snaps) went down in the second quarter. McVay told reporters on Monday night that Higbee would be “day-to-day” with a lung contusion.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>RECEIVERS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Cooper Kupp (66 snaps) looked like the guy we all remembered before his season-ending knee injury, notching the bulk of his 120 yards receiving on a 66-yard dash that was overturned by replay.</li>
<li>While he was only targeted through the air only twice, Robert Woods’ two catches for 33 yards (69 snaps) took a backseat to his importance as a blocker in McVay’s tight-split receiver offense – especially once the Rams lost Higbee to an injury. Talk about #WeNotMe.</li>
<li>After playing 25 snaps last week in Carolina, Josh Reynolds only saw the field three times in Week 2</li>
