Saints def front deserves some cred too. But the Rams' OL needs to settle in and improve.

That said gonna enjoy this moment. And the fact that Asshole Face and his 64 pack of tampons are flyin straight to Seattle.

Well 1st time in the red zone allen cost us 5. Second time in the red zone boom cost us a touch down. So could have been better.

We were having to leave Gurley in to protect on too many pass plays. He saved Goff’s life a couple times.

Demby got off to a terrible start.

We'regoing to have get used to it. Losing two all pro vets and replacing them with basic rookies Rams OL is not going to be what it was the last two years.
They did well enough though and should get better

Agreed Bubba. We knew there might be some rough patches here and there but we're 2-0 and the Saints' front is a legit playoff group so it's all good. Key is how these guys improve going forward because hitting the playoffs with them playing their best ball is what matters.

As long as we can run up the middle this will go along way to making us dangerous, and opening up the play action.

Let's see how bad Blythes ankle is first. Demby is big but too slow and doesn't get to second level often enough. I'd have Edwrds play over Demby and get him ready to replace Havenstein who held Cam Jordan all day himself. Now we know how Aaron Donald feels.

I'd start Edwards over Blythe right now. He would improve game to game and by midseason we'd have something going on that right side in the run game.

Goff sac'd 3 times
And pressured many many times. That entire scoring drive late he was under duress on most of the pass plays. Goff really showed the cajones today IMO.

Not worried. Saints gave us fits last year too. There good up front. Oline will be fine and they were great last week. Got some young guys in there so there will be some growing pains, but overall not worried at all.

We now have three new starters on the interior, and Jared is typically at his worst with pressure in his face. Today he bounced back and played really well in the 2nd half under duress, but can we expect that moving forward?? He hasn't shown he can do that consistently enough thus far. The interior o-line is going to be a problem and I think McVay has to run the ball more because of the youth. We need to limit the 5 and 7 step drops per game and try to move to a more quick passing attack. Sometimes Goff holds the ball too long and with this o-line he's either going to get killed or continue fumbling.
