He's talking about the losing of a couple of veterans on the defense - Janoris Jenkins, Rodney McLeod, Chris Long, James Lauranaitis. That's a lot of games and talent gone in one year. Offensively - quarterback can't be worse than it has been the last few years. He's not that high on Goff and that's fair. As much as I want him to be Aaron Rodgers, you can see why people are saying he's Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins - someone like that. The last three years or so the Rams have been nearly, ever so close to the cusp of almost reaching the playoffs but every year something didn't go right. Bradford gets hurt twice in a row then traded - so we're stuck with mediocrity at QB - no wide receivers, a shuffle on the offensive line every year because Saffold is made of glass - that sort of stuff.
They're trying to fix it now - but its kind of a middle of a cycle period with some young guys - Goff, Gurley and Donald to build around - but we need another two really strong, deep drafts to fill out this roster and start reaching post-season football regularly - by which time Goff, Gurley and Donald should be just about getting going!
