And keep it out of Detroits offense hands.I think it could work with a strong running game setting up play action.
Stafford has not enjoyed play action that much but he is very effective when it is used. Id like to see it used more.
Week one (at least) with both Tackle spots being manned by back ups......run the ball.
First off forgive my uncultured degenerate counterparts by Welcoming you to RamsOnDemand.com! I am the welcoming committee here.Many expect a heavy rushing emphasis for good reason but the explosives through the air should be frequent
I think the run rate will be what it was with Kyren.. and that there won't be any falloff when he's not there.Its going to be interesting.....does the drafting of Corum mean we will run MORE than last year?
Or was it just because Kyren has had injury issues and we want to be able to keep things the same as last year, just across 17 games?
Yes and yes. Its been known since the Jonah Jackson signing that McVay wanted to improve the run game so they can run more to take pressure off Stafford. They like Kyren's running style and feel that it fits what they want to do. Corum is a similar runner so not much changes in what they want to do.Its going to be interesting.....does the drafting of Corum mean we will run MORE than last year?

It's been known since 21, hasn't it?Yes and yes. Its been known since the Jonah Jackson signing that McVay wanted to improve the run game so they can run more to take pressure off Stafford.

I agree that more power runs and an improved screen execution would be great. But why would McVay want to take fewer shots downfield?McVay can't help himself from taking the big shots downfield. I hope he will control the urge a little more this year.
I hope he can keep defenses guessing by utilizing more power runs and an improved screen execution. Stafford's protection has to improve. Adding Corrum will eliminate the letdown I noticed when Rivers replaced Williams. A more ball controlling offense will help Stafford stay halth and a young defense.
Yeah.. taking shots does not equal "pass happy" to me. With Stafford's arm.. you take those shots.I agree that more power runs and an improved screen execution would be great. But why would McVay want to take fewer shots downfield?
As McVay says, explosive plays are the key to a great offense.

There are other ways to get explosive plays besides long developing deep passes.
It's also about the timing.
Reread my original post. It's ok if you don't agree.Sure there are....especially when you have an elite player like Gurley. Which we don't.
What would be the purpose though of changing the offense to fewer shots down field?
We were pretty pass happy then and I think our playaction was the lowest it was since McVay was here. Partly due to having a great drop back QB finally and partly due to not being able to run for sh*t.I expect we will be well rounded on offense... much like last year.
However in 2021 when we won the Super Bowl - we couldn't run the ball for shit.
But people will still go on and on about certain things
