Well, we’ve seen teams try 2 extremes while trying to control bot Ram O and Ram D...

[Rams43]

Early on we saw teams selling out to stop Gurley and forcing Goff to beat them. Didn’t work very well.

Now we see the Broncos selling out to stop Goff and daring Gurley to beat them. Didn’t work very well.

We saw opposing teams attack with runs and TE and largely avoid attacking our secondary. Didn’t work very well.

We saw Broncos get away from the run and go pass happy vs our Talib-less secondary. Worked a little better, but even with a gift int close to Ram goal line AND a lot of questionable calls and non-calls by the zebras, not to mention an “off” game by Both McVay and Goff, they still found themselves on the short end.

Sooooo...

If one were an upcoming Ram opponent, which poison should one choose?

haha...I retweeted above meme to a friendly acquaintance Niner fan, and he said:

Rams opposing DC's, "pick your poison".

Green Bay, NO look like shoot outs to me.
KC.
There are certain coverages that just don't work vs Hill. The most explosive play maker in the league.
I would take the over in all those games.
The Bears game will be interesting as will Detroit.
A lot of potential stumbling points.
McVay on the road is other worldly.
Winning three games in a row in the NFL is tough regardless of who you play. Winning three road games in a row is almost unheard of.
McVay is now 10-1 or 11-2 or something like that on the road so far. That is from another world.

10-1....Only loss was in Minneapolis last year

That is just nuts.

That is just nuts.

That's why I don't say it's crazy to go 16-0 this year.

Whoa, just posted this pic in another thread and then came to this one. Freaky.

But yeah, the Rams offense is too dynamic to stop all phases. Our defense has enough talent to stop teams enough that the O can outscore them. Once we get Talib back I'll feel really confident about or D again. Right now we have a few places that can be exploited. But overall, can't complain when looking at other teams.

 

[Merlin]

I'd run a cover 2 or 3 look and make them drive the field. It's a great offense in run and pass, but there's no way I'd let them carve me up for quick TD strikes deep.

 

[FaulkSF]

Agree with @Merlin , give up the middle of the field to make the TEs beat you. Play two safeties deep and seven in the box.

Basically giving the Rams the option of 4-5 yd runs or letting our TEs win one on one.
