To all the MOT members of ROD... Shana Tova U'Metukah (a win Sunday would be particularly metukah!)
See y'all on Game Day!
My memory is suspect, but wasn't Stafford's first play, his first game with us, a play action roll out to his left and long completion to Van Jefferson?Regarding our run game. I believe we should come out with what we do best. Pass only for the first drive. What always gets us in trouble is running against them out of the gate and getting in 2nd and 3rd and long. It just plays into their hands. If they can't stop it then keep doing it. but make them adjust. Then we can run.
Second pass of a 3 play td drive. First was to Higbeast then a 67 yard TD to Van.My memory is suspect, but wasn't Stafford's first play, his first game with us, a play action roll out to his left and long completion to Van Jefferson?
I agree with your Defense thoughts, but the 2 TEs can actually spread the D out. Make them cover the whole field. You can still send players deep cause with extra blockers you have more time and Atwell can definitely take the top off. So can Jefferson. I bet Stafford and Williams finally connect on those wheel routes. Also you have more outlets for them to think about. I think the 2 TEs gives us more options run and pass. Also, short passes can give the Oline more opportunity to clean up the pile and make them pay for some of the thru the whistle shit they pull.I have no idea how this is going to turn out, but the 9ers would seem to have a big advantage if you look at the rosters.
I wonder what the Rams are going to do with that 9ers defense. I like the idea of multiple TE sets... but then you're condensing the field and that just emphasizes their strength and speed through the middle of that defense. I feel like the corners are the weakest spot... so sticking with 11 personnel seems to be the better way to attack that.
On defense? I'm really nervous... Shanahan will find a weakness and just spam the hell out of it. If our D on outside runs is as bad as we fear? They will run all day long.. over and over.
Fingers crossed that we see a really competitive game out of the defense.

Yeah, I think we are heading for more big mood swings after the Niners game-- regardless of the outcome.Well, one win sure did change the tone of this board. Go Rams.
