And if we're having success running the ball, don't stop just because we're inside the 10 yard line or because it's second and 2.
We see 2nd and two inside the 10 in the NFC Championship Game and we DON"T give CJ or Todd a crack at getting 1st and goal from say the 5 yard line, I won't be happy.
I am sick of seeing 3rd and two and the QB is automatically in the shotgun. Get under center, give the defense more to think about and RAM CJ down their throat. Make them defend the whole field. None of this "Jumbo" package bullshit with everyone lined up close and all bunched up. Spread people out, make more room for out much bigger O line vs their puny D line to simply do their thing. Get on the O lines back and ride it to the Super Bowl.
The O line is by far the most important unit on any football team. A great one makes average backs very good, average QBs good simply because of holes and time given.
How many "great" D lines have the Rams had the last 10-12 years. Most of them. Littered with high 1st round picks. What has it got us ?
We have a very good O line right now and need to spend draft capital keeping it very good. We have a young Goff and Gurly. Help them out.
What is the average weight of our O line 320 ? Their D line might be 260-270. Do what you have to do, smash mouth and take some shots. Beat their brains in, take their crowd out of it. Demoralize them, heads hung low, sad sad Saints makes my day.
Sorry Brees and Payton, ITS OUR TIME.
BTW, Belicheat went old school 1/2 dozen times this weekend. Went with the "I" formation. Line up the Bowling Ball 5/6 times at fullback, lead blocker and send that chump middle linebacker on a not so nice ride with Gurly running like a crazed man behind him. Give that asshole Payton even more to think about. Whatcha gunna do Sean ??
Hey, I love high flying offenses. But this is the "playoffs". We have a serious advantage in O line weight and running backs.
Use it.
