Denver has the #17 D (yds) and #13D (pts). Last year they were one of the better defenses in the NFL. #2 in yards allowed; #3 in pts allowed. But they only played 3 teams with top 10 scoring offenses. Indy (#8), Dallas (#7) and Jax (#6). They allowed an average of 29 PPG vs those 3.

Denver led the NFL in sacks last year. Through 2 games they have 4 sacks this year. I would think they want to improve that vs the Rams. So how do you counter that? Run the ball and throw screens. Kyren and Corum are averaging 5.7 yds per carry (45 att - 259 yds).
I hiked Telescope Peak in Death Valley. From the summit there, at 11,000 feet, you can see both Mount Whitney and Badwater Basin. That’s the highest and lowest points in the lower 48 in one view. I signed the book stashed in the tin box on that peak.
I also ski’d Breckenridge in CO which is 12,000 feet. That height zapped my appetite.
You might be thinking of the 18 season when we practiced in Denver to prepare for Mexico City Monday night game against KC that got moved to the Coliseum.

This. For example the Niners and Seahawks still have the Giants on their schedules.

Looking like no Puka, Parkinson, or Kinchens this week
Last year the Broncos LB play was not great. Considerably worse than ours. That’s the first place I’m looking to gash them, and force them to cover our TEs.
I heard McVay is going to drop his 53 man roster into Colorado by parachute 1 hour before game time.

Considering Nacua and maybe Parkinson are gonna be out you are probably right. This is a good opportunity for Ferguson to build on last week’s game. KW in the pattern should also be a tough cover.

The Immaculate Exception
HALO jump into the game during the national anthem you mean.
This game seems to be the tale of two teams we don't know yet.
Alls I knows is... Rams favored by 2.5 - not a lot. Wish I had a feeling about the game... in either direction.

Favored by 2.5 on the road against an AFC title contender is impressive.

My wife has been hard at work getting the girls' attire ready for enemy territory!!
I think for this game McVay has to reign in his "big chunk" passing somewhat and stay in the intermediate to short pass game. Use the passing and running to control the clock wirh long drives. Mix in the 13p pass and run game to beat up the Denver defense...but of course pick your spots to go deep, keeping the Bronco defense off balance. Keep the RBs fresh because you can run on Denver.
Defensively the Rams have to keep Nix in the pocket, remembering he'll take of and run. Have a spy at times with the pass rush and mix coverages in the secondary. Tackling is always a focus and the Rams need to tackle well.
I think it's gonna be a close game...like maybe 26 -17 Rams....that's how I'm feeling this game right now.

It appears you may be right on Denver's LB cadre. Most active ILB'er is Alex Singleton, who is usually teamed with ILB Justin Strnad. The 4 main OLB'ers, thus far is starters Jonah Elliss & Nik Bonitto, backed up by Que Robinson & Dondrea Tillman. Only one has a sack; that's Robinson.
Denver plays a HD 5 DB's. Their 2 starting safeties are Brandon Jones & Talanoa Hufanga. The CB's are outstanding....Pat Surtain II/ Riley Moss & Ja'Quan McMillian.
I would hope McVay lean heavy on the run plays, blended in heavily with the TE's. I would call up RB Jordan Waters & get him some tough, hard runs in this offense. Rams 13 personnel looks like it would go well against this 34 D. Even if TE Parkinson is out ....Davis Allen/ Tyler Higbee/ Terrance Ferguson & might see Max Klare.
Denver hasn't been able to run the ball well at all. Just below average I think, in that range, which hurts them because they have a game manager QB.
Also Denver has one of the worst run defenses in the league through two games. They're way down there.
So the worst thing the Rams could do here is go into that game like the assholes we saw week one and allow Denver to push them around. We know they can play a physical brand with this group because they completely dominated NY in that regard. Question is can they keep that intensity up in a place where the oxygen levels can catch up to you.
Also the Rams need to limit their turnovers. Stafford with those completely pointless and overly dangerous throws that seem to crop up time to time. Our RBs with the ball security issues. And of course protections. Denver's not the team they were last season. Not yet. So just be safe with the damn ball and don't give them any free momentum spikes, do that and play a field position approach and we should win this game.
