A few thoughts occur, and in no particular order...
Two wins is great, but these were not Top 5 teams that we defeated. So we need to temper our enthusiasm just a bit and see how we fare against the Chargers and Vikings.
Having said that, there’s no denying the score differentials and 6 consecutive quarters without allowing a single point.
Goff and this O are just getting warmed up. You can see it in confusion of opponents defending our unpredictable O and in the small handful of plays that have just missed between Goff and his receivers. When they finish fine tuning, I believe that this diverse O will be virtually unstoppable. Just too many terrific weapons to defend simultaneously.
The receivers are making catches of even balls that are somewhat misplaced. Goff clearly feels that even when his guys are not really open, they’re open, and he is willingly trusting his guys to make the play. This synergy makes the Ram passing game exponentially more difficult to defend. And I think it’s only gonna get better. We might want to give Goff the nickname of Mr Tightwindows.
Kromer’s OL is doing a helluva job, especially protecting Goff. Hope our running game returns for the Chargers, though.
Would like to see our edge further improve. Not yet up to the standards of the DL and secondary.
Speaking of DL, the sacks are not yet evident. And yet, our opponents struggle to move the ball, don’t they? Cards are a team in disarray, but only 5 first downs? Only 3 against our starters? Zero points? Only crossed midfield once and that was in the last minute or so against many backups? Are you KIDDING me? I mean, the Cards ARE an NFL team, you know? We all had high expectations for this D, but these last 6 scoreless quarters have certainly been an eye opener for me. And I think that they’re only gonna get better, too.
That postgame locker room vid was special. Sure didn’ look like any locker room cancers were in sight. Lol.
Stay tuned for further wrinkles from McVay. I predict that the Chargers will see a couple, if needed. And certainly the Vikings will.
Our secondary is playing together as if they had been a unit for 3 years. And, as predicted, with big leads provided by the O, Wade has quickly gone to not only nickel, but dime. Curious to see how many snaps that Countess got.
Just when I thought my opinion of Hekker couldn’t go higher, he proved otherwise. This wouldn’t be the same team without Johnny Hekker, I’ll tell you that.
JoJo was impressive, huh? Looked like he was a big part of this Ram synergy thing, indeed. But I still look for Cooper to resume his duties if and when he’s 100%.
Would’t trade our 3 starting WR’s for any other corps in the league. Who’d a thunk I would say that after watching our ‘16 corps? Lol.
Our OL depth is at least 8 deep, y’all. I am beyond impressed with Blythe and Noteboom, in particular.
So, I’m very happy with the 2-0 start. But I need to see how we look against the top echelon teams coming up on our schedule before I really become deep down comfortable. Here’s hoping.
