Some of the ways Rams are improved over a 10-7 playoff roster, imo:
McVay is coming around on the running game.
Much better backup QB than early on last year when we really needed one.
Corum upgrades an already potent RB room.
OL has taken a BIG step forward.
I actually like this TE room better than last years version, even without Higbee early on.
Healthy Kupp and Robinson ensconced as 3rd WR. Puka with a year of experience under his belt.
Verse over Hoecht.
Turner might be better in his 2nd year.
Fiske isn’t AD, but he’s no slouch on that DL.
Huge upgrade at CB on both boundaries.
Lake has another year under his belt and will be used in many different ways.
Safety with Curl and Kinchens is substantially upgraded. Will be nice to have a ballhawk back there.
Ethan Evans should have mastered the hang time thing in his 2nd year.
Karty. Looks like a stud and should vastly upgrade the important kicker position.
I think Shula will prove to be an innovative DC and an upgrade over Morris.
Coverage teams should be improved and adapted to new rules.
Heck, I see upgrades practically everywhere I look other than the AD loss.
