Rams are currently allowing 41.49 yards per drive on defense. That ranks 29th in the NFL. SEA, WAS, and KC rank below them.
Last year the Rams allowed 24.96 yards per drive which led the NFL.

I guess I’ll just say it again before rolling it over – if you’ve been following along you’ll know that it’s definitely not always going to be perfect between Stafford and his WRs here as they work out their chemistry in their first several live games together (ever!). The point,
and apologies for being a broken record, is the problem-solving in real time. Noted after seeing them troubleshoot all spring and summer – it was always going to open with some highs&some lows. The point is how they work through it (& how they can evolve&change in the pass game)!
I think you can expect another game or quarter or coupla quarters where things are off at some point here in the early stretch. You can also probably expect fireworks. It’s all not going to happen perfectly all at once but as we have seen when good QBs join new teams, if it
starts to click every week consistently down the stretch and you stay ahead in the win column prior, you can make quite a lot out of that.
Anyway, not really a sexy or spicy take, and I understand all the questions and comments I’ve gotten, but that’s simply how they’re approaching it – realistically, and trying to find the balance between patience and urgency in the early games re. the build.
