I am afraid the 9ers have the better roster this year. We're better at QB but our OL situation is grossly magnified vs their front. Now CMC coming in gives them three very nasty threats underneath. They're going to be hard for our defense to stop, and we can never do shit vs their front because McVay never has a run game vs Shanny and they sit back and play heads up while their front gets home.If the Rams can add a very solid edge rusher... the floor would be Fowler-ish... the line gets healthy... and they can develop a reliable running game.. this team can compete at the highest levels.
Yep.. niners will be a challenge.. I'm not as freaked about CMC in some ways, because they Rams have upgraded their run D. Add a Bobby Brown to the rotation to keep the main guys fresh.. and a legit edge.. and they should be really good on D.
RB? It could be anything from a low-end power back like Foreman as some have suggested.. to a guy with serious upside like Gibson. Either one could help.. and if Williams really is a talent.. bringing in a Foreman makes sense.
But I'm not gonna write the Rams off yet. McVay is at his best when he gets forced to make tough realizations. He always comes out of that corner swinging and I love him for that.
