The committee approach is not the problem. The problem is the players not knowing wtf they're doing, lining up wrong, missing holes and seams, running the wrong routes in the passing game, etc.I agree with a lot of this. And we are running into the problem with this committee backfield. You establish a rhythm and then get taken out? How is that going to help. Personally, the Rams need to go back and watch how they beat the Dallas Cowboys in the postseason in 2018 that is the blueprint. Look at the way they used Todd Gurley and CJ Anderson? They need to go run-heavy, sell out to establish the run, open up PA and let Goff work with some help. Right now, teams are just begging Goff to beat them and he can't.
That shit needs to get fixed. I know the Rams are working on it, and probably trying to get Akers ready to go, but they won't fully be there until he and Hendy are in there lining up correctly, running the right shit in the passing game, and executing (catching/seeing the holes etc) on top of all that.
IMO we're probably a year out with our backfield. But I hope they can get Akers ready to go and if so we'll see a boost for the offense at a good time, i.e. as we (hopefully) go into the playoffs.
