Honestly, I'd love to see more of Bobby Brown III and Jacob Harris. Maybe I get my wish with the latter, but I have really high hopes for the former; I think BB3 could be a dominant force inside, either at nose or 5-tech.

Only thing that I want to really see established every game is the "running game". Seems at times McVay wants to show off his new QB and we come out just bombing away. But when we get back to running the ball it seems like the offense just takes off and the deep ball is open along with running lanes. Just want to see the team establish the run early every game and no one will be able to stop this offense.

Keep Rapp down in the box where he's more effective. Jalen lined up more with the opposing teams #1. I believe things will eventually gel for the defense, hopefully sooner than later. On Offense I compare the chemistry/grasp of the offense similar to what TB had to do with Tampa last year. By week 12 or so I expect less missed connections and or miscommunications.

Consider the fact the Rams have played teams with weak secondarys (Tampa, Seattle, Indy) I am not surprised by the fact that they went pass heavy. I think as the season progresses we will see more runs

Even out the targets from Cooper Kupp to Robert Woods. More Desean. I want screens to Tutu.

Play RR much as possible and bring him up to speed.
Yeah that's a good suggestion and one I agree with. Kupp gets open so routinely though that the only way to reduce his wear and tear is to put him lower in the read order. But it does need to happen.

We're gonna need him in the playoffs if we want to hoist that Lombardi. Remove him and things look a lot different for us, so yeah let's get those other guys involved and try to get more of a group lift going there.

Yeah thats true and I get that. But in those same games those teams knew their weakness and came out in defenses to help out against the pass. And it seemed as soon as we hit them with a few runs we could do whatever we wanted to do after that. Really i just want us to stay balanced because I really believe no one can stop us when we are a balanced offense.

I'd like to see DJAX get a few more opps per game. Based on how many times he's had such great deep seperation.
LIke to see us continue to make smart adjustments on D. Rapp playing closer to the line was really smart. Continue that with the DB's, If that's Long, Rochelle, etc. Just keep getting better. For some reason we run a lot of WR/TE screens. I'd like to see more RB screens. Seems to me for years we get killed on those. Not sure why we don't run more of them ourselves.
And lastly, just better overall tackling. We've had quite a few plays this year where we have someone dead to no or little gain and miss tackles for first downs, etc. Just better overall fundamentals. But in general, we have a very good team, just small steps to being a GREAT team.

It feels a little silly to worry about some of this stuff with the team playing how it is, and our record being what it is, but if I'm being honest, I'd like to see a more even spread of the ball around rather than the heavy use of Kupp. He's putting up monster numbers, so I'm obviously loving that, but there is a history there that concerns me (knock on wood), and we have players like Woods (outside the Seattle game) and even to an extend Higbee who are sort of being underutilised almost at this point. Also whatever is going on with the delay of game stuff needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later.

We're not really one dimensional or anything, but we're definitely not using our full arsenal, if the plan is to unleash that down the line or not, I'm not sure, but given McVay's more conservative tendencies (funny given his reputation) I don't really think that's the case. I'd like to be putting so many weapons on the field defences don't know who to look, similar to what Arizona has been able to do.
Was thinking this too Blue. Love Kupp but we've got some pretty good other options :)

More DeSean Jackson and less Matthew Stafford under-throwing DeSean Jackson!

With Mundt and Funk out, would love to see a big back on the game day roster.

I'd like to see a little more Sony. He's a good RB and gives the Rams some power to their running game.
Rapp needs to keep playing the star position at the LOS he obviously excels at that position reading the QBs eyes. I don't expect it to have the same impact playing against a top 5 QB but it definitely helps out our defense.
Once Dwill comes back I expect the Rams D to improve even more. Ramsey and DW on the outside and Deayon in the slot. Could be dominating.
And lastly this is nitpicking a little. But I'd like to see some more djax and Stafford spreading the ball a little more. I don't want to wear down Kupp before our playoff run.

More press coverage, more playing of Rapp closer to the line like last week vs. the Giants, agree with the above on ball distribution.

Also, no injuries and no blueberries.
