What if Britt plays at a high level?
What if Givens shows significant progress since the sophomore slump?
What if Austin becomes that playmaker on special teams and on the field?
What if Bradford picks up where he was last year and continues to show more confidence in his wide outs?
What if the O Line becomes one of the best units in the NFL?
What if the addition of Williams translate to pressure and turnovers?
What if the secondary play is more consistent and aggressive?
What if the running game becomes the second biggest strength of the team (the #1 strength D Line and pressure)?


Will this be enough for the Rams to solidify a playoff spot?

I'd say that if two or three of those "what if's" come to pass then the answer is yes. I would also add one more "what if" - what if there were a minimal amount of injuries this season?

If ALL those things came true, we'd be talking super bowl, not just playoffs!
That being said, at least a few of them will.
How many is the question.

I do believe all of these are very realistic possibilities. I think Britt can be a great Wide Out and we will just have to wait and see. Since Danny's departure I am not sure the Rams have had a guy who Wants the Damn Ball. Every team needs a player who wants the ball in big moments. Not sure if the Rams have one but Britt could be that guy.

This is the one that worries me the most:

"What if the secondary play is more consistent and aggressive?"

It's the Rams' achilles heel. Pass rush won't mean half as much if they can dump it off all game like last season. Britt smoking them twice didn't build my confidence.

I don't think this is a legitimate "what if": "What if Austin becomes that playmaker on special teams and on the field?" He did both last season when there weren't penalties and they learned how to use him better. I don't know how many yards and TDs he lost to penalties, but it was sickening. He also had a case of the drops that he got over before mid-season that would have elevated his numbers too.

I have faith in the O and O line with Robinson, the run game, and Bradford back.

This would be a tremendous boost. Same goes for Quick. These two guys are my X factor on offense

What if Givens shows significant progress since the sophomore slump?
I believe that nagging back injuries and no Bradford caused the slump

What if Austin becomes that playmaker on special teams and on the field?
He already is that guy

What if Bradford picks up where he was last year and continues to show more confidence in his wide outs?
I fully expect Sam to play at a high level when he isn't handing it off to the RB's

What if the O Line becomes one of the best units in the NFL?
If it remains healthy it very well could be

What if the addition of Williams translate to pressure and turnovers?
It will. No way it doesn't

What if the secondary play is more consistent and aggressive?
I expect some breakdowns with the youth and learning curve but give it time

What if the running game becomes the second biggest strength of the team (the #1 strength D Line and pressure)?
There's little doubt in my mind the ground game will be a major strength

We would win the division if all that happens.
