Look, we are playing against their number ∞ quarterback this week (Murray: gone. Brissett: gone. Minchew: out.). If we can't win against this dude, we don't deserve another win this season. Charger mode.
It’s funny, I said that same thing about Tom Brady right before we played him in the Super Bowl after Bledsoe got hurt.

OL play will be very important this week. Stafford may need an extra beat or two to hook up with these young guys. The OL has to give him time.
I have seen a number of those quick slants go for big gains. I can't remember the last time I saw the rams run one of those. Ball out fast and keeps the DB on their toes.
 
You know what would be really fun? What if we sit there on Sunday and the Rams offense is moving down the field like nobody's business without our star receivers. I'd be feeling pretty giddy. That's how I like to feel going into a game. Funny tho how that feeling can quickly turn to "oh shit".

We used to routinely run 3 to 6 jet sweeps a game. At least take 2-4 deep shots. We go games at a time without doing either.
 
One thing I want to see happen more, is running KW and Corum on sweeps to the outside, as well as screens to them.
I say this every game. Why is every single run we do straight up the middle? Literally never a sweep. Doesn't this make the defenses job easier and predictable? I feel like any sweeps or outside runs we have done are fairly successful. McVay needs to open the full running playbook for the next few weeks.

Well, the Rams are averaging 4.7 yards per rush - good for 5th best in the league. So, there's that.

Imagine, run on 1st down, run on 2nd down and - by averages - you have 3rd and 1/2 yard for another 1st.
I know it's not that simple, but still...

Well...they definitely need to look at the Cards game earlier at SOFI because whatever the Cards were doing defensively was giving the Ram offense fits until mid 4th qtr. It either took McVay a while to figure it out...OR...the Rams were just playing half_heartedly.

Even so...they still would have one if it wasn't for that bogus call giving the Cards the game.
 
I have a crazy feeling Daniels is going to go off in this game. Think he could be the new possession guy for Stafford.
