I'd say that "Maybe" Goff is better these days at reading and adjusting to the 5-1 over front and quarters coverage behind strategy that was used against him in the super bowl and actually conceived of by the Lions that year to shut the Rams offense down.
I know it was used over and over again by teams that had the personnel to pull it off (Dolphins for one) and it was frustrating Goff and Mcvay until Goff's final days with the Rams.
It's possible that he's doing a better job with that and maybe the Lions coaches were able to help him unlock what he needed to get better against it. The Rams really didn't have an answer for it at the time, or maybe Goff wasn't actually taking to what they were trying to teach him to look for. Something was definitely off and Mcvay decided it was time to move on.
I'm not sure exactly, I don't follow Lions football all that close.
I don't follow the Lions either brother but they have been getting better and not worse with Goff there for whatever that is worth.
The "pressure" thing has always been the book on Jared Goff. Every team knows it and didn't stop using it against him and now he is "better" at dealing with it. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have won as many games in Detroit.
He is still a "work in progress" as are most QB's. Some don't fully develop until later in their career or at all. IMO, the experience of playing a few years in a different system has made him better and the same goes for his added experience overall.
When Goff first got there he wasn't afraid to call Goff out so I don't any reason why he wouldn't be sincere now too. I just don;t see this as Campbell taking a "shot" at McVay or the Rams. I just don't read it that way.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
