i noticed that brockers was lining up as a defensive end. i like it. he seems like a new player. if it works go with it. get your three best defensive linemen on the field.
also want to add this.
everybody’s talking about the new passing scheme and yeah it’s great. they rank like fifth in passing offense while they only rank 16th in rushing offense.
but guess what? if you look at attempts, they rank something like 27th in passing attempts per game, and they rank 7th in rushing attempts per game.
i don’t know if this has been posted before, but i thought that was interesting as well. almost as if he’s more concerned with establishing the running game. and with passing he’s more concerned with the quality of the passes rather than just trying to throw it all the time. plus this is a play action offense so a lot of it is probably tied into that as well.
but really to me this is more of a run oriented offense that can gash defenses with the pass.
now defenses are adjusting and playing deep so i expect the rams to run it even more to get those defenses closer to the box.
also as goff matures maybe mcvay loosens the reigns a little bit and they start passing it more. but right now they are geared more toward running the ball.
I find the use of Tavon as a back up RB to spell Gurley interesting. I know he was used there occasionally under Fisher, but it appears that it will be a more regular feature this season. He had some good drive extending runs today.
agree.
The reached the end zone a disappointing two times, but the put together a lot of drives, obviously. They scored on nine drives.
agree. and i think as goff matures. as he learns. as the whole offense learns. those fgs become tds. and that’s crazy. cuz as good as the offense looked, they can get better. it’s really up to them.
they could have just folded. and we wouldn’t have been too disappointed if they had remained competitive.
but they actually came back and won that game. on the road. in a tough environment. against a talented team. gurley comes up huge again. goff shows he can play in big games. defense tightens up in the second half.
seattle up!
well hopefully this is just a launching off point for the rest of his career.
outside of his first 100 yard rushing game in who knows how long, i think i’m most excited by his use on all three downs. and not just running and catching the ball but blocking too. it just makes it that much harder for the defense to figure out what the offense is doing. hopefully gurley just keeps expanding his game and finds different ways to attack the defense like marshall used to do.
