Until the OL gels, Sun Tzu for the win.

Which is why we’ll need to slow down opponents with scheme, playcalling, etc.

We saw some of that on Sunday, with a new formation (Skow at FB), some wide screens, and a less predictable run/pass pattern.

If we had Pace, Harrah, Saul, Mack and Slater (or their modern equivalents) that would be unnecessary. Right now, it is necessary.

If you still don’t get/agree with the premise, that’s fine.

I guess my point is that your concept is no different than what the Rams approach.. and most teams in the NFL, already is.

No one just lined up and blows people away.

Changes are a wee-to-week thing in the NFL.

So, you’re right, I disagree with the premise because you’re suggesting actions the team already takes.

Now.. if they severely pare-down their playbook? Especially the passing game? I’ll acknowledge that.. but, again, I’d say we were already seeing slight changes with Van Jefferson out.

Hope I’m expressing that better now, to avoid misunderstanding.

GAME DAY MNF Doubleheader - Titans at Bills / Vikings at Eagles

I like Rams said:
Arizona's success last season came out of nowhere, and I don't think anyone who watches football believed they could sustain it. The Bills have been getting better every year for the last 3 seasons. They were blowing teams out last year as well, and were a very dangerous team. While I agree it's early and anything can happen, you can't compare the Cards last season to the Bills of this season.

The point is, there are always teams with early sizzle and late fizzle. The prior year, it was the Ravens. They were coming off a 14-2 campaign, and started the year with 38-6 and 33-16 wins. In the end, though, they lost in the divisional round of the playoffs 17-3.

The Bills are the best team in the league right now (and my preseason pick to win the AFC). It’s a long road, though, and sustaining dominance is difficult.

6 Takeaways on the Rams Win against Atlanta ...

oldnotdead
Skowronek doesn't scare anyone. Without a legit #3 WR, i.e. Jefferson, this isn't the same passing threat. This is why I hope they begin using McCutcheon. A #3 WR that needs to be accounted for changes the whole dynamic of what the secondary can do. Am I worried about Stafford's INT's somewhat but not overly so. He's pressing too much. He will find his comfort zone. Remember, Coen has made changes to the offense.

I missed the entire game because Cox was down until just now. I'm done with these clowns my neighbor has Century Link which is DSL so I originally dismissed them when I moved in. But after talking to them and running speed tests on my neighbor's computer I'm going with them. Century Link told me that it's fiber optic up to my street so they will guarantee me 150 mbps. My neighbor has a cheap Lenovo computer and she gets a consistent 160-170 mbps download and 21 mbps upload. That is damn good because it's standard phone line from the box on the street to the jack in the house.

But perusing the highlights it's clear they started using 12 personnel occasionally with Benny Sko as their lead blocker. I'm more concerned about Akers. Apparently, there is more going on with him than we are being told. Word I'm hearing is that Coen has made changes in the run game this year. Perhaps it's a scheme change that is affecting him. Regardless until he gets right they need to think about taking a hard look at Ronnie Rivers on the PS until Williams returns. Next year is a contract year for Akers and he needs to be mindful that the Rams like to draft a year in advance to fill expected vacancies. Henderson is in a contract year and he's playing like it. With Akers playing so poorly they might extend Henderson two years. Williams might become Aker's replacement.

From what little I have been able to see, AJ Jackson played okay at OG. That definitely bodes well for him next year.

Anyway an ugly win is better than an ugly loss. I will take 15 more ugly wins this regular season and not complain.
