Been watching the whole season game by game (done with 9).
Here are some impressions I had:
Dickerson had injuries pretty much the whole year after the Seattle game. He had a 3.7 carry avg through 9 games. He looked good, but was missing something.
The defense played very very well agains the run, and the corners and safeties were great. Leroy Irvin was so good, it surprised me.
The trade for Tony Hunter was a good one. WHat happened to him...he was looking great, and he was only in his 3-4th year I think....why wasn't he on the team in 1988?
Dieter Brock has such a bad reputation, but I am not sure he was the problem. Man, he could throw, and he was a tough, little guy.
The Corners were awesome.
And Robinson got the first (?) basketball player who never played football in college to convert---James McDonald....looked good.
The Rams O line was in flux a bit with Dennish Harrah being out until week 9. The pass blocking did not look good or organized most of the games....especially against mediocre teams.
I think the Rams had a high school offense; when Brock had time he was ok. I trust announcers like Dick Vermiel more than I trust 'us' fans.....he loved Brock, and so did all the other announcers.
In general, I have watched 40+ games from 1985, and to me that was the year the whole league changed a lot (for the better); almost all the teams had professional passing attacks....and you can see it week in and week out--except for the Rams. Though the Rams went to the NFC champ game, they were not going to beat the Bears with that offense. The defense was more than good enough.....I have about 12+ games a year from 1983 to 1989 on Video (16+ in some years) if anyone wants them....just send me an email and I will send via Pcloud.
