..and I suspect it might end earlier than I want but I'm enjoying it so much that I know even if this isn't consummated now, it probably will be later. Nothing but hope and promise in a fledgling opportunity.
It was a similar feeling in 17 when Sean first turned the organization around. I suspect the results will be similar as well. Unlike the GSOT, this organization reloaded on the fly and adapted where Martz could not.
The ingenuity utilized by the expanded running game and Morris' development of multiple defensive approaches will propel the team long after the season is over. The Rams now have a new core to build on with excellent first and second year players already performing better than most seasoned vets. Some may point to the ages of AD, Stafford, and Kupp...but even 85% of those three is better than 90% of the league if they deteriorate that much (they haven't). What's more, the Rams have jettisoned most of their bad contracts and set for a continuation of the foundation. The best part? Our team will be quite relevant this offseason (Unlike the previous one).
Tomorrow night will be exciting. Win or lose, this team won me over. I think of how Micah Parsons gets bent when his team gets criticized but you never see that in Horns. These guys are too preoccupied with "Urgent Enjoyment" to fall into victim mode like Dan Campbell did when they lost to Dallas. At 3-6, they hoisted their collective sacks and found consistency in their daily effort. While every team preaches these concepts, this team embodies them better than I've ever witnessed.
Where some focus on the event tomorrow (as we hope the team does), I'm celebrating the regenesis of the most enjoyable era of Rams football.
Cheers
