When I think about how far S&M have brought this team in 2 offseasons...

Man, it’s like a dream, isn’t it?

Let’s talk about this O.

Goff from “bust” to possible MVP.
Gurley from “possible bust” to OPOY and runnerup MVP.
An OL from pathetic to among the league’s best at both run blocking and pass pro.
WR corps from dismal to possibly best trio in the league.
Scoring O from worst to first.

Any single one of those accomplishments would have been impressive, but to achieve ALL of them? Almost unbelievable. There are now no weaknesses on this O worth mentioning. Think about that for a minute.

And how about that D?

An amazing DL.
An outstanding CB corps, even without Talib.
Very good Safeties.
LB corps does need work. Hope Snead can bring in outside help.

When healthy, this D could be a top 5 unit. They’re gonna have to defend against lots of passing because I think their opponents will be forced to do so while playing from behind early and often.

ST is hurting right now, but when healthy are among the league’s best. And I think they’re gonna be healthy real soon.

To summarize, this team experienced a record turnaround in the first year, literally. And they picked up where they left off from last year and in full afterburner.

I liken them to my favorite aircraft of all time. The generational ahead-of-it’s-time SR-71 Blackbird. “I will fear no evil because I am at Mach 3 through 80,000 feet. And climbing...”

These ‘18 Rams kinda remind me of that quote.

It's a shocking contrast to this time just two years ago, when we would hang on edge hoping for multiple first downs on a single drive, and where three and outs were at least a once per quarter occurrence. Now three and outs are a rare occurrence. Not only that, drives that end with only a single first down for this offense are as likely to end with touchdowns than with kicks.

Yes 43 and we could just focusing on the O and it would be enough to take up pages, the difference is that astounding.

And as far as this..........

Anyone who doesn't think Snead will have this fixed for next season hasn't been paying any attention to what he can accomplish.

It seems Snead focuses the draft on positions that are strong in that particular draft. I'd be willing to bet next years draft will be strong at OLB and Snead will fill that position group with more promising rookies.
