McVay : shots fired

firstly waking up at 4 am to watch a rams is pretty much the best start to a day and after 2 cups of tea and a coffee it occured to me

this was Mcvay firing back at the critics of one Mr golden arm Goff (plus a little payback for last year),While our QB simply doesnt care what people are saying about you can bet his coach (and team mates do)

How many times have we watched a segment on the telebox read a tweet on the internet that Goff is just a member of the party bus
"Mcvay talks him through coverage"
"the offense goes through Gurley "
and now the fabled
" he is a product of the system "

well i see you system QB and agree, but not like you you would like me to mr and mrs main stream media

Goff isnt good because of the system ,,Goff is the reason the system is so good . he is almost becoming fearless with his throws..double covered no worries ..deep ball ..ill drop it in your hands ..please blitz me i dare you..

Goff put the league on notice last night and did it against a preseason favorite for the superbowl (but they havent beten anyone with a winning record blah blah blah ) . there isnt a team that wants to face this rams team right now and while i like to remain even keel and know theres a long way to go in the season ...

can we just give Goff a ten year bazillion dollar contract ..please and thanks

This is why the Rams O is working and so effective. Yes Goff is a 'System QB' - but the system IS Jared Goff. McVay has created a system that plays to HIS strengths, its the same as our WRs, they are all part of the system, he's hand-picked guys that would be effective in THE system.

How the one-year 'bust' label molded Rams QB Jared Goff into the league's most underrated QB

If a system can make an average qb look this good, that implies
Other systems suck and make qb's look bad. (see former Fischer Qb's in last year's playoffs for before / after comparison )

Qb's throw to open receivers. Systems get the receivers open. Both are needed to complete most passes.
Tom Brady is a system qb , if Jared wins 5 superbowls I would be fine with that

Finally re-watched the Charger game...

Saw a lot of the same stuff 43.

The Bad
I was hoping the Rams run defense just got tired in the second half. They didn't look good at all. At least the defense tightened up late and stopped the Chargers. The penalties hurt the offense late in the game. Injuries.

The Good
Goff throwing and the WR catching the ball. TEs getting involved. Shields as a backup. The offensive line giving Goff time to throw. Rams ran late with Brown and Gurley to close it out.

You have to watch this

.

after seeing the scale model it appears the video screen is much higher than what was shown in the drawings that were published with the release of the stadium plan. never thought those drawings made any sense at all. still looks like a halo above the field though from the blimp view. i guess it will not look that way if you are sitting in the stadium. look up, screen, look down, field. it's pretty cool that it's double sided, although the people near the field may strain their necks looking up at it all game.

Where's the pass rush?

A few thoughts:
* They're getting held a lot (more than is being called) - so that's a positive in that it derails opponent's drives
* They're still getting pressure - that is a pass rush - also good
* The team is winning

I don't care if they get any sacks... if they're 3 - 0 and the margin of victory is 22 points per game!
1st 3 game stats dont mean anything now that our top 2 CBs are out. Look for the defensive approach to be different. More blitzing, more zone. More scoring from the opponent. The front 7 will have to get sacks. We need more pressure from the outside.

If All teams Play Up to Their Absolute Potential for One Game

Chargers because they got really good players on both O and D. Vet QB, top RB, etc. They constantly underachieve, and I thought this was if everyone played up to the their potential that team could be best in the NFL.

Bears same thing...if Mitch plays up to his potential da Bears are also better all around. And I thought this was teams after the Rams.
That's fair. I just thought they were weird picks. The Vikings are a popular choice. I assumed the saints might be as well. The bears threw me off completely.
