I'm convinced that if last years offense played like this years the Rams would have been 4-0. If this years offense played like last years offense they would be 0-4.
And if this years defense played like last years defense they would be 4-0. If last years defense played like this years defense they would be 0-4.
Interesting I think.
Through 4 games......different opponents etcetcetc I know but I wanted to see how things looked held up against each other, I wanted to take a quick peek under the rug after thinking about what I just said above.
2016 points 63 (hold your nose LOL)
2017 points 142
2016 points against 76
2017 points against 105
Some other stuff I thought was interesting
2016 total yards 1076
2017 total yards 1574
(side note Goff has 1072 yards passing essentially matching 2016's total yards through 4 games)
That equals about 118 more yards per game. That's an enormous turnaround that extrapolated over 16 games is 1,888 yards.
2016 rushing TD's 2
2017 rushing TD's 5
2016 TD/INT 4/3
2017 TD/INT 7/1
I know it's Goff v. Keenum here but still it's part of the equation.
This is a telling stat.
2016 total yards given up 1471
2017 total yards given up 1518
A difference of 2.94 yards per game. Or the equivilant of one 2016 Todd Gurley carry. (Ha sorry couldn't resist because I'm so glad he is in a zone).
So the 2016 was bend but don't break through three games and the 2017 defense seems to be bend and then break. They have been gashed by big plays that have led to points.
Overall I thought it was interesting to see how the records are the same but how different the numbers looked and how different the games felt. The vibe from last year was light years from the vibe this year.
