Just Because I'm Bored ....

... I looked up the Rams Team stats from 2015, and here are some I think we can shatter this year!

* 3rd Down conversions - 52 of 201.
* Total Rushing Yards - 429 rushes for 1956 yards/ average 4.6.
* Total Passing Yards - 273 of 473 for 2931/aver. 6.2 / 11 Int's.
* " Team Sacks" - 41 ( Unacceptable for a Rams Team!) Of course our opponents only had 18!!
* Total TD's 31 ( including 3 Defensive TD's, and 1 TD on a return.
* Turnover Ratio +5

I think, as a Team, with a New, and Better, QB we are going to make this stats look like an anomaly!

Any thoughts or Opinions!?

3rd Down conversions - 52 of 201.

That one is key. Our opponents were 78 of 225. TD's scored while in the red-zone is also one area we must improve in drastically. 13 interceptions is also not enough for a defense that puts that much pressure on their opponents.

Total passing yards increase to around 3300-3500 this year, on the back of better QB play.

3rd downs....smh. The lack of them last season was tough to watch.
This is the single most important part of our offense that must improve.
Not just to keep drives going, but to let our defense rest. Our defense will easily be top 10 if we could get them some much needed rest during games.

Oh yeah, and we'll score more points. Even if they're just FG's.

Shouldn't you be reliving the QB controversy of 1960, @DaveFan'51?

Let's go back a little further still.
Typos aside, there's a lot of cool shit in this article.

In my opinion, Karen Scheele was far and away the best color guard flag bearer in the history of Troop 207.

* 3rd Down conversions - 52 of 201.

They were historically inept on this one last year. Shouldn't be hard to improve.

* Total Rushing Yards - 429 rushes for 1956 yards/ average 4.6.

Most team rushing yards since 2001, most rushing TDs since 2003. Not easy, can be improved on but someone other than Gurley has to step up.

* Total Passing Yards - 273 of 473 for 2931/aver. 6.2 / 11 Int's.* Total TD's 31 ( including 3 Defensive TD's, and 1 TD on a return.

32nd ranked passing "attack" should improve, even with a rookie QB.

* " Team Sacks" -

41 ( Unacceptable for a Rams Team!) Of course our opponents only had 18!!

Rams had 28 sacks in the 8 games Quinn played and 13 in the 8 games he didn't. It is just night and day when he is in there. A return to health by 94 should boost those numbers.

* Turnover Ratio +5

Not sure about this one. Rookie QB will make rookie mistakes.

{The Funny thing here is our Opponents only converted 78 of 215 3rd Downs!}

Most team rushing yards since 2001, most rushing TDs since 2003. Not easy, can be improved on but someone other than Gurley has to step up.

{Gurley didn't play in the 1st 4 games, so I think we can shatter the rushing stat!}

32nd ranked passing "attack" should improve, even with a rookie QB.

{Completely agree!}

{ You nailed it on this point!!}
