Siciliano: Nick Foles Will Shine with the Rams

[TheDYVKX]

Marvin Jones, M. Sanu, Tyler Effiert, 2 great RB's...you serious?

I think he meant that AJ Green is wide open a lot.

They got weapons. Dalton can be frustrating to watch at times though.

injuries and schedule (they played the nfc west last year, thats 4 games against tougher defenses)

Luckily, Foles won't have to play those defenses this year... oh, wait.

I can't disagree Foles has question marks. But he won't be asked to do near as much in the Rams system. The Rams want to be a power run team fueled by defense and field position. He won't have to try and do more than he should. For all we know, this system could be the best fit for his talents. He does have a stronger arm than Davis or Hill has. So the deep ball will be a threat. With Britt, Austin and a healthy Quick defenses will have to respect that. At least that is the plan. The line has to open holes for Mason in order for that to work.

I struggle with this idea that the Rams are a power running team.

Rushing attempts last year? 24th (down from 17th in 2013)
Rushing yards per game? 20th (down from 19th in 2013)
Yards per rush attempt? 16th (up from 18th in 2013)
Rushing play percentage? 15th (down from 9th in 2013)

It may be true that they want to run... but the facts suggest they just haven't been able to stick to their plan.

There will be times he is very frustrating to watch. No doubt in my mind that he'll throw an untimely interception or two. He'll also show us some amazing throws here and there.

Hmmmm....

doesn't help when you lose your Top Left Guard and Top Center

You mean as an Eagle?

Luckily, he's come to a team that has a top notch Oline! Oh, wait...

(just joshing with ya, but I think you see what I'm saying)

If you want to be a power running team and have success you've got to be able win the turnover battles, otherwise your gameplan tends to get derailed rather quickly.

Foles walked into Rams park without a cane...that's enough for me to be happy!!!
