So, what's your issue you'd like the Rams to self-scout and work on this week?

- I'd love to see Goff re-adjust some of his mechanics, his accuracy has gotten a bit spotty as the season has progressed.
- I'd love to see Sammy get a finer grasp of the offense (read @jrry32's piece on the redzone miss).
- I'd like to see more runs with Gurley in the redzone (and do we have someone on the roster capable of catching a fade??)

- The deep passing game. This is a huge staple in McVays offense and we have to get Sammy and Josh going downfield.

- Redzone offense. Obviously.

- Running game. I say this because our longest run this season is 29 yards by Gurley. The blocking has been great. But I want to see a team that’s capable of scheming Gurley and Austin to rip off 50+ yarders.

I’m probably being picky. But if we want to remain the top offense in football, these things need to happen. Lets stretch the field out and see what happens.

To be honest, I see McVay using the current offense because it's working. I think Goff feels comfortable being conservative with the ball.

McVay seems to be a very good "Take what they give us" play caller.

Interesting point, how much of us not going deep is teams playing coverage to eliminate the big play deep... could be a reason why Gurley seems such fewer 8 men boxes.

I just wonder if getting the TE's more involved in the Red Zone will help get us more TD's! I hate seeing us settle for FG's as much as we do!

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy. I don't like how he stops routes. I don't like how he sits at the end of his route when the QB is scrambling to make a play.

Where's the Watkins that tore up the 49ers? Everyone knows he's a weapon. Let's get him caught up to speed.

I also liked the screen to Austin. Dude can be a playmaker in this league... just gotta' get him the ball in space. I would love to see some more screens involving him. Seems to me you could set up a screen to him once teams start keying on Gurley when we do that jet sweep/fake play.

Yeah, I guess I'd like to see if Austin and Watkins are fits and the Rams should keep them or not.
