I have no desire to look it up because the last time we looked good running screens was when Jimmy was at QB for one game.

I think sometimes people mistake quantity of screens for quality.

Rams are a quality screen running team. I think one could make an argument that they could run more TE screens or even WR (we are a little less successful here - though not in that Jimmy game) and RB screens.

Also, I think people were spoiled by the Gurley screen game back in the day.

I cannot agree with this silly take. Part of it is the QB isn't good at selling and timing them. Part of it is our RBs can't seem to bust any seams they get. And part of it is our OL seems to take half the year to extract their heads from their assholes, thus not really having time to perfect their screen game.

Only way the Rams are a quality screen team is if the rest of the league happens to suck at them as well. But outside of let's say Seattle I don't know any teams that have been worse for longer.

Now feel free to run off in a huff and google something, anything, that might support the Rams having a quality screen game. And then put it up and do your fictitious victory lap. But all this will result in is more smartassery from yours truly because my eyes do not agree. :laugh3:

Cheers @Merlin, I appreciate the volunteering of some self awareness.

I will say, I think our RB screen game is the weakest part of the screen game outside of TE and then WR screens.

The screen game was very good in 2023. I think Oline continuity played a part in it not being as good last year.

I'm so ready for games to get here. Then we can see what the players can do instead of hear what they can't do :D

I’d love to see more 12 but I think with Atwell getting his bump we’re likely to see him getting more snaps and they won’t be at the expense of Puka or Adams

This is what I'm thinking too. They're going to give Atwell every chance to produce. Hope he rewards with a big year.

I see Ferguson's production as a rookie being more moderate. Like 500 yards would be great and on the high end. 300 is probably more realistic.
