Rams advanced stats: Micah Kiser targeted 15 times in coverage, improves on tackling

In Micah Kiser’s NFL debut as a defensive player in Week 1, the Rams linebacker made seven tackles and missed seven tackles according to at least one source. The results in Kiser’s second opportunity could be more in line with the type of season he’s going to have this year.

Against the Eagles in Week 2, Kiser finished with 16 tackles and missed only one. What is more interesting is the amount that Kiser was targeted in coverage by Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz, no doubt looking for one of his tight ends, and the results on those throws.
