Carolina – Three Performances of Note

Push for DROY

Star Lotulelei (+4.1) vaulted himself right back to the head of the race for Defensive Rookie of the Year with a dominating performance in run defense, leading the way to hold the Rams to 3.0 YPC rushing. Predominantly lining up at DRT (27-of-43 snaps), the rookie gained a stop on 33% of his snaps in run defense, including two TFLs and two more tackles for short gain. That ridiculous number could’ve been even higher if not for a missed tackle in pursuit of a Zac Stacy run. Whether it was his quickness, as at 0:33 in the second, or his power, like at 0:19 in the third, the St. Louis OL simply couldn’t handle Lotulelei in the run game. He proved tough to handle as a pass rusher too, notching up two hurries and a hit on the day.

Down Week for Kuechly

While he made a few of his usual plays, Luke Kuechly didn’t make quite the number we’re accustomed to seeing. One such play was at 6:58 in the second quarter, when he knifed inside ofHarvey Dahl to pick up a tackle for no gain, while another was a pass-defense late in the fourth when he ripped the ball out of Jared Cook’s hands. Outside of those two plays however, not a lot stood out. Missed tackles, though neither of his two on the day was extremely egregious, continue to be a snag for the second-year player; his Combined Tackle Efficiency is now half of his rookie year rate, with six MTs through six games. Despite the PD, Kuechly was also lost in coverage on a few occasions, and allowed himself to be sealed on a few more in run defense.

Efficient Newton

While he only dropped back to pass 22 times on the day, Cam Newton was as good as he’s been all year, completing 15-of-17 passes for 204 yards and a TD, with only a Steve Smith drop keeping him under the 90% completion percentage mark. As you’d probably expected, Newton was at his best on the move, comfortably handing pressure – he posted a perfect 158.3 QB rating passing on such plays, adding 26 rushing yards and forcing two missed tackles on three scrambles. Newton didn’t find quite as much room on designed runs and had one poor pitch that hit the ground, but did help spring several DeAngelo Williams runs when the defense keyed in on the QB on options.

Game Notes

- Bradford’s likely replacement didn’t exactly show out in his six snaps, as Kellen Clemensfumbled twice on the team’s final drive.
