Watch both Rams TD passes from Saturday's game very closely and you will discover a little wrinkle that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Both TD's were made possible by a subtle (shhhhhhh...keep it quiet) pick.
That's right... Cooper got open via a pick from Tavon Austin and Brown got open via a pick from rookie Mike Thomas.
Subtle picks that cleared the way for a wide open WR and path to the end zone.
In previous years the Rams have tried this time tested method to the promise land only to be called for an illegal pick.
But this year.... The WR pickers appear to have been coached up to run it to perfection. No use of hands. Just subtly moving the body in front of target defender... To perfection.
The ghost of Mike Martz is back with the Rams.
Here's to you Boras and Groh
And let me add... Goff executes the TD pass to Brown to perfection. First Goff perfectly stares down Thomas (the picker) who is breaking to the inside which draws the CB to the inside following Thomas which opens the way for Brown's space to the outside. Thomas then blocks the LB. and Goff knowing that the CB #31 will be breaking back towards the outside puts the ball purposely towards the outside shoulder of Brown knowing 31 is closing the gap late but hard.
