The NFL season is very long, injuries for any team can come at anytime rearing their ugly heads for many teams not just our own. These teams everyone is crowning already are more than likely having to go through them as well.
We have limitations in 3 major areas:
1. OL- As seen with the misfortune with Trey Lance, some injuries can help a team by opening another door for their successor.
I'm very curious in this next week seeing how our OL gels after another full week of practice together.
Pretty good review of the line as follows:
"Last week, the Rams allowed a league-leading 23 pressures to the Bills on 50 pass-blocking snaps. The Rams offensive line made major improvements this week, allowing only two pressures on 36 pass-blocking snaps to the Falcons. Those two pressures were allowed by left tackle Joseph Noteboom, meaning Rob Havenstein, David Edwards, Coleman Shelton and Alaric Jackson had a clean sheet"
Granted this was because we were facing a less significant defensive rush via the Falcons.
2.- RB - Not to happy with our RB's performance as a whole to be honest. I haven't been to concerned on ability or effort but more specifically the repeated injury history of our RB room and lack of explosive ability that it's seems non of them are capable of. No 5th gear sort to speak. I was big on Sony Michel, he's not explosive but he's reliable with the ball, pass protection, and coming out the backfield which is a hallmark of a Belecheat player, consistency which is what you need for the long grind.
3. OLB - As I eluded to in the off-seaon with that very long thread I'm not very happy with the hole left by Von Miller on the right side of the line opposite Floyd. Between Hollins and Lewis I fear that injury and the length of the season are going to take their toll on the productivity and availability of them. They've both contributed pretty good for the first two weeks from what I've seen so far but hopefully Snead can identify a difference maker a make a good deal for one before the trade deadline.
I do know on average Defenses look better and are on the same page the first quarter of the season since they put in their whole playbook in TC, it takes offensives longer to gel on average, especially an OL, not to mention one with injuries to it already.
Raheem Morris seems to be starting the season with his vanilla coverages and schemes like he did last year and we all know how that worked until some major players voiced their displeasures.
Sometimes I think McVay tries to be extremely vanilla with certain teams as not to give our NFC West or potentially playoff tie breaker teams formations and plays on tape from the week or two before. I expect to see a hell of an offensive showing next week by Mcvay.
