Who is going to start scoring TDs? They must be expecting lots of forced fumbles and interceptions from the most explosive DL in the NFL.
Having a nasty DL is nice but the Rams were first in the NFL in sacks last year and still 15th in the league in D. The real deficincies were in the secondary at corner and safety where multiple options were open. Maybe even LB with a talent like Mosley! But holy crap we get another DL. And he's an undersized three technique. Cmon man.
This can be approached several ways. You don't agree with what they did. OK. But a real key to beating teams like Seattle and SF is by beating them up front. Both teams rely on the running game and not as much on their QB. But when we have gotten pressure on their QB in the past, they have been ultimately beatable. Add to that a new ability to emphasize the run on our side and we move the chains while tiring their D out. BTW, Seattle lost a fair amount of depth on their D.
We still have 10 picks left. I don't think any one of us honestly knows how any of the draft picks available stack up against what we already have. I personally think this regime has done pretty well rebuilding this team and rather than lament that they didn't take the player or trade for the player I wanted, I'm going to stay open and look at what is possible with what they are doing and also with the switch from noob DC to Greg Williams.
What I see as a likelihood this season is a very stout running game that sets up the play-action better than we have had the talent to do in years, and a defense that gets after the QB while being very stout up the gut and fast on the edges. It will be interesting to see the remaining picks.
Let's just not get too big on our own opinions to where we are acting like the regime effed up by not doing what any one of us thought they should. IMO it gets tiring to read.
