greg roman offense. only thing i know about him is that he coached under harbaugh for many seasons from stanford to the niners. very run heavy offense.
it’s probably mostly a matter of learning the terminology. i can’t imagine the concepts being so vastly different. it’s probably just learning the verbiage.
i think he’s a lot like steven jackson. lots of little minor injuries that slow him down, but for the most part, he’s able to play through them. i think the foot injury was a little fluky. so i think he’ll play around 14 games a season. maybe miss a couple games here and there. but the guy plays through injuries. and sometimes really well.
in terms of caliber. i think he’ll be to an odell beckham what steven jackson was to marshall faulk at running back. not quite at that elite level but close enough and a legit number one receiver. and like jackson, he’ll get nicked up. but he’ll play a solid number of games with very solid production.
And Watkins is that age, too. So they have a young corps of talent right there.
Really…wow.
The Rams did a LOT with the offense since January.
it’s funny. well not so funny considering the head coach is offensive minded. but still. if these moves work out, they really only will have to address the offensive line next offseason. most of the needs will actually lie on the defensive side. cornerback, outside linebacker, and defensive end. which is funny cuz this defense could be something else. providing donald returns of course.
I will be looking for who can make a play. I won’t be too critical of mistakes.
i wanna see everett and kupp make plays.
No, think about it, it’s using resources. Tavon used 2015 style in an offense dominated by Watkins means more space for Tavon, which means more big plays.
i agree he’ll use him in spurts the way he was used in 2015. sure. he’s there. might as well. i’m talking about volume. why invest that much time into using him when he’s most likely gone in a year?
he’s going to use guys at his disposal sure. but he’s got to balance that with installing his system. invest in the guys who are going to be here past just this season. tavon’s saving grace is most of these guys are young and inexperienced. kupp and everett who are very much in mcvay’s plans are rookies. we don’t know how long it will take for them to adapt. with kupp i doubt it takes very long. they might very well be busts in which case mcvay will have to go to tavon.
He’s not going to get a lot of touches, maybe 4 or 5 a game – plus punt returns.
tavon in 2015 got 104 touches not including special teams. that’s 6.5 per game. i’m thinking maybe about 52 touches this season.
Big plays. Touchdowns.
well. the big plays will be for watkins. for gurley. tds will be for watkins. gurley. higbee. everett.
there’s only so many touches.
when they got watkins to open things up underneath. i believe it’s for gurley. woods. kupp. higbee. everett.
again. my only hesitation to fully invest in this prediction is that kupp, higbee, and everett are largely unproven. austin has at least done it. and watkins could get injured.
