He's got one gap attacking personnel and plays them 2 gap and one and a half gap read/react which slows down the penetration.

2-gap and 1½-gap are not the same. You have to watch the attack, the gap assignment then the overlap techniques to squeeze and help with gap next to them. And in some cases the Rams 3-4 is one gap, if pinch, slants, etc. are called. It is more complex
that folks realize, all sort of things within each iteration or the scheme.

Gaines left because of his two gap nonsense (he was offered as much as Tampa Bay).

Since he wasn't playing it, this can't be accurate. He probably left because the Rams didn't think they could pay him the $3.5 mil in total money he got for 2023 in TB. I don't know what Rams offered but doubt they would have gone as high as Bucs. I bet it was money.

Isn't it possible they are the ones who know what they are looking at?

Cool breakdown of our 9 straight runs against the Ravens

Merlin said:
One great thing about our wideouts being so big and physical and willing to put their bodies in there as lead blockers is when McVay dials up runs the Rams do have a nice size advantage, as if they are in 12. Because both Kupp & Nacua are big wideouts, they are like small TEs in their effect blocking. Same with Skow. Robinson isn't small either, he's over 6' and a non-diva type who will get his hands dirty.

And the OL is doing a great job in both the run and pass game of late. They seem to be improving week to week.

So all that plus the threat of this passing game the way Stafford is playing right now means this offense is going to be hard to stop the rest of the way. What we are going to need to win out is mainly Stafford playing with discipline and not giving opponents a short field. If our opponents need to drive the field vs our defense and in any game where we do a good job in the red zone, this offense should be able to do enough to win the game vs the non-elite type opponents.

And the elite opponents who knows maybe we can knock one of them off. Like SF that final week or maybe if we get in and draw them.

Yes sir. I fully expect us to drop 30+ on each of the next three opponents. McVay is developing the next generation of his offense. He just needs to make sure he doesn't out-think himself.

GAME DAY TNF - Chargers at Raiders

Yes, he must save them for the playoffs!

Well they are technically still in the running if they keep winning although I doubt they do but if someone tore an ACL or Achilles like say Devante Adams or Maxx Crosby, that would have lasted well into training camp. What Pierce did yesterday was try to look good to Mark Davis to keep the heading coaching job. Most respectable coaches would have taken out their starters well before Pierce did.

The McVay Offense: Scoring

oldnotdead
When I look at Robinson in this offense I see the potential of another Woods type of WR playing X WR allowing Puka and Kupp to exploit mismatches from the Y position. Robinson brings flexibility to the offense that frankly isn't there with Atwell. No knock on Tutu but his physical size limits his use. Robinson can play all WR positions and realistically Atwell is strictly an off the LOS type WR. His ability to block downfield is also limited as evidenced by the block provided by Robinson on Nacua's reception. I don't see Atwell making that block.

Robinson is a very good fit for this offense and I would be surprised if he wasn't extended 2-3 years while they draft a big fast WR to develop behind him. With Kupp's retirement looming (considering all his injuries it's a realistic expectation) the Rams need to draft 2 WRs as Atwell and Skowronek are good role players but that's really all they are.

Next year's draft is the one that will carry this team competitively into the future. Offensively they need a RB and WR going into the future. Defensively they need an edge and CB. Their ability and desire to keep Jackson long term will be decided this offseason. He's not a bad OT but is he a franchise LT? Not at this point but he does have potential, how much is TBD. IMO I think Jackson will be a comp pick.

This is going to be a very interesting draft.

The Dream Wild Card Scenario

PARAM
I hate the niners as much as I could hate any team. But I hate Philly equally, living in the area for most of my life. And the Seahawks, the Patriots, Dallas, Arizona, the Saints, the Giants, Pittsburgh.....I guess I hate most of them.

Back in the day prior to the merger, I was always a Ram fan but I liked the Raiders in the AFL. Raiders-Chiefs games were like Steeler-Raven games now. Or Dallas-Philly games. Great entertainment. And now that I mention the Chiefs, Patty Whineburger has made me hate them all over again.

Fuck em all!!

Interesting, because if you watch a replay of the last play - the TD to the house - you can see #47 Alex Ward making one of the last diving miss's, towards the punt returner... and in fact, it doesn't appear he was even hit by anyone else. It is possible we can't see the entire play, of course...

I'm sure that is when he probably pulled something trying to give more than 100%. Hope he heals fast. And Good Luck to the new torpedo launcher.

read my edited post above - you tried to put me in my place right off the bat by associating me with the pleasant/morris whatever that is crap.

And yeah adding you to ignore now.

Already told you that was a comment for general reading. But if you want to take it personally, that's fine.
Just don't try to say this is on me for that. You went personal (god, high school, ass, pissy).

You said I didn't focus on your point and I did. I sought clarity and tried to engage with no personal attacks at all.

You assumed something that was not true. And I don't anything about your "edited" post and don't know
what you changed.

And good, put me on ignore. I have no problem with that. I don't need to deal with hate.
