There are many reasons to believe we'll own the division again this year. Winning the division is just the next step in our progression. Here are some of the reasons I expect it to be so...
Our coaching staff is the shit. If I was asked to start a franchise and was told that I could have any coach I wanted ... I would pick Fisher. He has assembled a staff of experienced qualified coaches who can get maximum production out of their players. The players really believe in them from top to bottom,,, that is easy to see and hear. Don't forget that we will no longer be missing a D coordinator this year. Strong proven leadership and respect my Brethren... it has to start there, and we now have more of it than I think I have ever seen on the Rams.
Our talent level has increased dramatically. Sure there will be some silly mistakes due to youth, but youth is more durable and talent usually finds a way to shine. I now feel like we will finally be able to enforce our will and dictate the game both defensively AND offensively. Our defense was already a force, but with the additions we've added... Holy Shit. And the offense,,, The Offense will now actually be able to stress defenses in multiple ways (that hasn't been the case for a long time)... I see things opening up big time for Sam and Co.
Think about our special teams now. We already have the kicker with the biggest leg in the game. Now we have some return weapons that I can guarantee will add points on the board in a big way too.
It's OUR time,,, and as our GM would tell ya, "We ain't Fucking Scared".
