Last year's opening game and next few games were tough with so many injuries all over the O.
And a bunch of rookies on D. And then more injuries later on the D. The final outcome could have been so much different had they won one more of those first 4 games they lost. And without the injuries, surely would have.
It's no wonder they had such a slow start. But this year, at least the opening game we are at full strength across the board, an experienced D, no rookie starters anywhere, and good healthy depth everywhere.
I'm guessing the Rams get out of the gate a lot faster than last season, regardless of who they play.
