I'm feeling good about this one...BUT...I still need to see the young Ram safeties a few series because we know Brady's gonna test them.
The Rams match up well with this team...and let's not get up too much because of the Bucs OLine issues...YOU STILL GOTTA GO PLAY FOLKS!!!
My chief concerns:
* McVay. - don't be greedy and don't be cute. Keep a nice balance of run a pass, keeping that Tampa D' off balance and on the field. Get Stafford on the move with a few rollouts where he can buy time and stretch the defense. Get Akers out there on those LBs a few time too...whether by screen pass or short/med passes.
Stafford - Get through progressions quickly and take what's open...DON'T force the ball. Be willing to take off and run when its there. You were outstanding against the Cards...keep that mindset and take care of the ball!!!
Defense - YES...GET AFTER BRADY but don't be wreckless about it. ACTIVE HANDS AND CLEAN HITS ON BRADY!!!. Look for Tampa to try and run the ball to keep the Ram offense off the field. SHUT THE RUN DOWN. Secondary, keep everything in front of you and TACKLE WELL!!!
Special teams - We saw it last night...The Green Bay STs lost them the game...NUFF SAID.
I'm calling the Rams to win and lead the whole game...
