Did Stafford pass much to RBs? Wondering if our TEs will contribute?


Yes. He passed to the RBs significantly more than Goff.

Goff did so much to like, but he just didn't seem to have a feel for when it was best to just swing it out to the RB for a solid 6 yard gain. Honestly, that may have been one of the weakest parts of his game.

He loves his TE's as well. This QB is going to spread the wealth.
 
What I find great about this video when Kurt breaks it down, he's really showing it through the scope of how we run our offense especially with the play action. Our receivers are amazing at getting open/great route runners and I feel they'll be able to run those routes 10 yards deeper this year just because of Stafford's arm and vision. It's going to be a great year.
 
I noticed that too.
Warner is the only player I followed and pull for after leaving the Rams. Forever Grateful to #13
On second thought I did pull for Bettis a little.
Love/Hate for me with Kurt. I pulled for him too when he went to the Cardinals and had success there. He won that Super Bowl vs the Steelers, but his defense let him down that game.

I understand that he and Brenda left St Louis with hurt feelings, but there were so many of us that still cared about him and wanted him to succeed. Then he retired and would casually show up at Card practices, but never at Rams practices in LA unless he was working. We'd have former player get-togethers where members of GSOT showed up, but not him. Fisher sucked at a lot of things, but he was good at welcoming back old LA and St Louis players to the Rams fold, but Mr Card never showed up.

He would not be wearing that Gold Jacket without the Rams giving him a chance. He probably would never have gotten his break without Vermeil and the Rams and I don't forgive him for turning his back on us all of these years later.

I think it was more a case of circumstances such as backs staying into block. In 2017 Gurley had 64 receptions and in 2018 he had 59 receptions.

The attention to detail that qbs like Warner and Stafford show is so astounding. Knowing where to throw a ball based on a defensive back's hips/ holding a saftey with your eyes really takes a good play call and makes it great.
 
Yeah take the pump fakes and controlling the safeties as an example. That's a primary tool in the QB's toolbox but not all QB's use it. Most are busy trying to master the reading and anticipation of the varied looks and BS that defenses throw at them. Trying to get to that level where the older QBs who are still hanging around are at.

So the brilliance of this move is getting a QB in his prime who is at that mastery level. IMO. Stafford's insane arm talent is like a bonus. It's the quick reads and good decisions that are going to change this offense back to what we've been missing.

Honestly, I think this offense will transcend what McVay has done so far in LA.

Understand and respect your point, but for me personally, He helped bring us our first ring and
I just let the other stuff go. Have too much respect for him to dislike him.
Not kicking the way you feel, just my personal preference.
 
My opinion of Warner is he is one of my favorite Rams of all time and a great person.

But as an analyst he defaults to popular opinion and lazy generalizations over true in depth data driven analysis and contextual insight.

I am a big fan of Warner the person and player but his analysis is consistently fluff and media hype, which ironically is perfect for a career at NFL Network.

There are 2 standard reactions to Warner around here (we won't get into the 3rd one just yet IMO)

1a) Fuck that Cardinal loving traitor! (this is the reaction if you disagree with what he said or he mentioned his love for the Cardinals)
1b) Fuck that Cardinal loving traitor and his crazy wife.

Fixed.
