Goff's style of play reminds me of Philip Rivers with Goff having a stronger arm. Rivers has put up HOF type numbers over his long career and he never played behind anything better than a mediocre o-line. That's why I'm saying the key to this offense is the o-line. Keep Goff clean and he will put up bigtime numbers. He simply needs to learn to read the complexities of the defense better and quicker. Once he does, he's going to be not just a good franchise QB but truly an elite talent.
I'm really encouraged by the way the o-line is shaping up. Allen at center will plug the hole Blythe is creating and improve the inside run game. Whitworth's performance this year has clearly declined. As pointed out in a recent article he's needed more help this year than almost any LT. That's why IMO Noteboom will be the LT of the future and he looked very good at LT in 2018.
Gurley and Henderson have shown they can be a very good tandem if the blocking in front of them is simply up to par. IMO the offense is going to change. They aren't going to stay the finesse type of offense they were in 2018-2019. I think we are going to see a power offense, going straight at the defense challenging them to stop the Rams. We saw a bit of that in the first game that Evans and Edwards started together on the right side. Why Kromer didn't build on that is why IMO he's the problem behind the run game, not the RBs. It's why I see them incorporating a lead blocker be it a TE in an H-back alignment or a true FB like I expect them to draft in the mid-rounds (rounds 3-5). They aren't blind to how much success the Niners are having with their power gap scheme. The Rams have a better pass game with much deeper receiving corps. They would be very tough to stop.
That's why Kromer has to go because up to this point he hasn't shown he can run that type of scheme. I really hope they promote Fisch to OC (Kromer's position). IMO Fisch has been and will continue to be the real force behind Goff's development. It's no coincidence Goff's development coincided with the hiring of Fisch. He knows how to develop QBs and WRs. It's why this offensive passing game has been so good. The Rams need to promote him to really keep him and allow his offense to blossom. IMO Kromer is a roadblock to this offense continuing to develop. This offense looks like Fisch's work because of the way Goff has developed and his style of play and how the WRs have blossomed (especially Kupp) into a truly elite unit.
If they really want to keep Kromer then keep him simply as the RB's coach. Regardless of the coaching staff changes, I think we will see a whole new offense next year running a completely different scheme. It will be interesting to see and we will be able to understand a lot by how they draft. IMO it will still be mostly defense, but I see a FB or big back with 4.4-4.5 speed to replace Brown.
