Not sure about FG blocking, but I was at the game yesterday and McManus was hitting FGs in warmup from 60 with room to spare.

Allegiant stadium was awesome and modern, but after the game, you get funneled to a closed road where you have to walk in a sea of people all the way to Mandalay Bay or Luxor.

And then you have to complete with 50,000 others for the ride unless you drive and park there.
 
My observations are.......Go to the "pedal to the metal" on building to increase 13 personnel snaps in this 2026 offense.

Fact is, Snead has done a great job providing HC McVay with the NFL's best blocking and receiving TE unit not seen since the Washington Redskins Championship yrs. It would be insane not to build on it. Defenses will have big issues stopping what the Rams have. Most NFL defenses rarely see & play against it.

McVay has what will be the top-coveted 2027 free agent TE, playing back up to Tyler Higbee. How many over 6-7 275-plus-pound TEs like Coby do teams have.....OT size TE. Snead drafted 3rd-string TE David Allen is getting better every week & would start on over half the NFL teams today. Currently, Snead is observing 2 years' worth of very high draft capital TE's sitting on the sidelines, idle, in waiting.

Both of our RB's are outstanding pass receivers out of the backfield or from the LOS. Run after the catch will cause nightmares for DB's

It should be obvious by now that Stafford doesn't like to throw to him."
Heck it's getting so he REFUSES to throw to him.
Tutu's career is just ponderous.
I'm still searching for reasons even though I have heard a couple good ones on here. ;)
 
What I noticed is that the Rams special teams coverage still sucks. After the Rams built a sizable lead, they started kicking the ball into the end zone so the raiders were starting from the 35 on each possession.

If that isn't an admission.... ☹️

The same thing that kicked them in the ass last year against Seattle in those last 2 contests. Constantly giving them the ball at the 35.
