RAMS played 17 regular games .....1 playoff game
Lions has 2nd ranked rush D, but ranked 27th in RZ D
The 17 regular season games...the RAMS faced, 4 top 10 RZ D's (2, 6, 9 10)
The rest....
Hawks (2), #24, Niners (2) #15, Cards (2) #23
The rest #12, 16, 19, 22, 25, 30, 32
I find rushing D yards just, if not more relevant
The RAMS O faced only the Niners rush D (#3), (that last game really shouldn't be used) and the Lions (#2) & Browns (#10)
I won't list all the others but at least 11 of those teams ranked 20 or more....that doesn't support the RAMS being able to run
My point being the RAMS rushing game
WAS built on weaker rush D's and that showed up at the worst time
imo This just points to the need for the continuance (Avila) to build a more stout and physical O Line....
So when the RAMS O is in the RZ....they can actually really run the ball, or a least make the opposing D feel it's a legitimate threat
GO RAMS!!
