Trying to stay somewhat positive here, and it’s not easy. So here goes, just taking a stab at what I think we’re going to see in the next four to five weeks and where some improvements are going to come from:
1. Robinson needs to play. He’s gonna blow assignments here and there, but should improve week to week which is more than I can say for some others like Joseph for example. This OL needs that fresh blood, some power and ability to push and create lanes and Robinson will add that.
2. Keenum is going to get his chance, hopefully sooner than later. He is also a backup, but brings more to the table than the other two. At the latest we will see him installed as the starter by the bye week where they have 2 weeks to prepare him, just no way around it. Not saying he’s the answer or anything, just that he is the best option of the three QBs the Rams have on their roster as he will move well and extend some drives here and there with his grit and competitiveness.
3. The defense is going to get better every week. They were pretty good in the first half, and need to become better at getting off the field on their own with that horrific offense stinking up the joint. I think they will. GW knows what he’s doing, and will get these guys playing better and better as we go on.
4. Stedman’s return looms large for this team. While it is a good sign to see Quick showing up, in successive weeks he is going to be focused and eliminated by defenses. I see Steddy B as a very big addition to this offense. I would say huge but of course given the QB play we’re not gonna get the full impact of him coming back. Still, he’s gonna help this offense.
5. The running game should improve, which will become more and more important as they try to run their passing game off of play action.
Yeah, I know, it’s still depressing where we’re at. This team isn’t gonna win more than 6-8 games, and right now that seems like a stretch. And maybe that would be best for the team long-term to allow for them to get a QB at the top of the draft. But I do think some respectability is coming, at least I hope.
