That was inevitable, I think. Gotta generate some pass protection somehow after the past couple of weeks.

About fucking time.
Needs to get CJ up to speed on his pass blocking and his cardio but pretty impressed.

About time. Should have started doing this as soon as Kupp was lost for the season. Let's do it and make it a more regular part of our arsenal next year.

This was my favorite part of the whole game. It allowed different protections and different run blocking schemes that we just couldn't execute in 11 personnel. This game let me breathe finally!

Just said this in the GDT. Everett making a difference. He also got open down field. Higbee got lots of praise for his blocking too.

The blocking of both TE's has gotten much better over the last half of the season. I like these two TE's on the field in this newer look. Everett is our newest weapon that teams will have to deal with. You like that TE jet sweep?

This was an adjustment I hoped to see. I think we should stick with it. Today felt right. Reynolds got some snaps, but the majority of our snaps came with Everett and Higbee. I think Everett is a bigger mismatch than Reynolds.

Cards defense is a good training wheels game for 12 personnel. Keep it rollin.

Exactly. We needed a big-bodied receiving TE or just a big WR; our starting WR's are 6-3/196 (Josh) 6-0/195 (Woods) and 5-10/183 (Cooks). Kupp was 10 lbs heavier than Josh, and 6-2/208.
Now, with Everett at 6-3/240, whoa.... he's a cookie heavier than Josh at the same height.
And if Higbeast at 6-6/255 can keep making plays, we got a real nice package for 12 plays.

It certainly was nice to see. However, everything looks rosy against the Cards. That team is awful. Hopefully we see more of these concepts going into the playoffs. I get that McVay wants everything to look like it is coming out of the same formstion, but as others have mentioned, this may be the cure for what ails that OL.

Well, my Grandfather always believed Dallas had 12 men on the field for years with the shuttle guards, so 12 should able be to beat 11 every time.

What We Learned: Los Angeles Rams versus Arizona Cardinals
The Rams have a new toy on offense, but how will they use C.J. Anderson moving forward?

The Los Angeles Rams have a new toy on offense. Remember when we were all wondering why the Rams let special-teamer Pharoh Cooper go? That was about 167 yards ago. C.J. Anderson was asked to slap on some curly horns and start for an 11-3 team in a game with playoff implications, and he responded in a major way. While the dinged up Todd Gurley is a great one, it was also great to have some fresh legs on the field while Todd is on the mend.
The Rams will be able to utilize Anderson in a variety of ways moving forward. While Todd Gurley is a big physical back in his own right, the interior gashing that Anderson can provide will be helpful in those gotta have it short-yardage situations, as well as in the redzone. It seems fair to think that Rams may opt to give him up to ten carries a game as a compliment to Gurley, kind of like the Seattle Seahawks do with their stable of running backs, and become a true ground-and-pound team. If they can dominate on the ground, the Rams could become even more dangerous than they were early this season, and that’s saying a lot.
Need proof? Just look at that beautiful play action that resulted in a touchdown to Robert Woods in the fourth quarter. The more the Rams can beat up an opponent on the ground, the better Jared Goff will look. Of course, all this took place against a poor Arizona run defense, so don’t expect things to always run so smoothly. But still, the Rams may have found a recipe to play effective playoff football.
While they still primarily utilized 11 personnel, the Rams showed an increased willingness to also use two tight end sets today. Both Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee made a handful of critical blocks against the Arizona Cardinals. In the post Cooper Kupp era, the Rams may continue to trend in this direction as they prepare for what promises to be a physical slate of opponents in the playoffs.
The offensive line played better. They weren’t outright dominant, but were mostly good, especially when run blocking. The line sort of started resembling a single organism again, rumbling out toward the flats on zone schemes, and not having very many apparent blown assignments. One area of concern is center John Sullivan who continued to struggle with the strength of the Cardinals interior line. It will be interesting to see what the Rams do with Sullivan after this season. They could call it a wrap and take on $1,000,000 in dead money, or keep him on ice and use him to mentor Brian Allen or whoever they decide else they decide to start.
Overall the Rams beat the Cardinals, just as eleven other teams have done this season. But the game wasn’t just about winning, it was about finding the their long-lost mojo and figuring out a formula that might help out in the playoffs. That happened on Sunday, so it was nice step heading into their final game against the San Francisco 49ers.

2 TE sets. Everett on jet sweeps. Perhaps Gurley with Anderson sets getting Gurley in space and Anderson up the middle. The possibilities to evolve this Offense just the remainder of this year are encouraging.
