@RamsNFL and @Colts Rams really didn’t run all the pre snap motion etc that they ran in prior years.

McVay loved the way Allen played and believes he’s only going to keep getting better as the season goes on.

“I loved it. He’s another guy, you talk about great stories that just make you so happy for guys,” he said. “You look at the way that he has consistently just demonstrated a resilient mindset and mentality as he’s recovered from what was a really tough knee injury against Pittsburgh a handful of years ago, or a couple of years ago. He just had belief, he just continued to grind at it. He played really well, he got a game ball. I just think his rapport with Matthew (Stafford), his competitiveness, his physicality, and then also, his poised, calm demeanor as he’s getting the calls communicated and recognizing a variety of things where we didn’t really have an inventory, didn’t know what to expect. I thought he was great. He’s only going to get better, but he got a game ball for us yesterday. He’s one of those feel-good stories that you love so much about working with people like him. I want to continue to see him do what he’s done and build off of that, but really pleased with Brian. Really happy for him.”

For his outstanding performance, Stafford has been named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week for the first week of the season. His numbers were among the best of his career, and given the context of this being his first start with the Rams, it’s only fitting that he win the award in his debut.

Watching NFL Mic’d up Week 1 and My god didn’t realize the shot (that led to the Roughing the Passer call) Stafford took from Hicks when he delivered the ball to Kupp. And McVay Doing a Romo impression predicting Kupp to be open. pic.twitter.com/IXDSYtHGXg

👀When Khalil Mack lined up on the edge against the Rams👀

– 0 screens on his side (out of 5)
– 2 run plays to his side (out of 16)
– The 2 run plays were late in the 4th

Sean McVay clearly didn’t want anything to do with @FiftyDeuce. #nflstats #bears #beardown #khalilmack pic.twitter.com/MB0cf25gVM

The Rams revamped high flying offense will take on The Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. In 2001 the Rams high flying offense took flight as @kurt13warner and Torry Holt attacked the Colts from the air! @AllHands81 had 7 receptions for 203 yards and two TDs! pic.twitter.com/5BguNNDIxY

yeah. there were a couple of plays where he had the guy right in his hands. and when that happens almost always the guy goes to the ground.

I think if we look back, AD has always been a slow starter when the season begins.

Anyone else catch this pancake from Brian Allen??
