I have ZERO concern that McVay will fail to adapt as Martz did. I highly doubt Goff will regress with more experience and coaching. I believe we have a plethora of weapons with very good depth so the passing game will evolve just fine.
My only worry is that the offensive line is due to suffer losses and the rookies won’t be able to perform to the level of last year’s veterans. Consider Dallas’s struggles with the loss of two important linemen. O-Line success and cohesion is a fragile thing. Believe me when I say, losing one of our starting five to injury would slow the progress we expect. Losing two would significantly decrease production. Lose three and this offense won’t be recognizable and even the skill position players will be called into question (much like Warner, Bettis, and Everett in years past and Gurley in 2016, Dak, Derek, and Eli last year) by the short sighted, uninformed media.
I’m not predicting gloom and doom. The line could stay intact again and this team could run roughshod over the NFL. I’m simply stating that OLine health is the single most unpredictable and significant factor for the Rams of 2018.
