Our beloved team is absolutely loaded. We’ve got great leadership in McVay and Snead. A supportive owner. What’s not to love?!?!
I hopped around all day yesterday with a giant smile on my face off of the fresh news that AD is coming back. And what has not been adequately reported, but what we know because we live Rams football, is that AD did not come back to simply participate. He’s not wired like that. When he steps on the field, he wants to dominate. So when he decided to come back, it was with the knowledge that he still had it in him. And I trust his assessment! Pairing him with Garrett is unprecedented in NFL history. This would be like Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White teaming up in 1989! To me, this is not hype, it a glorious fact. I didn’t get to see the Fearsome Foursome, so I can’t wait!
So OUR team has the best edge, best DT (yes, I believe that), top 5 shut down corner, top 3 WR, reigning MVP QB and arguably the best head coach. Add that to legit rising stars on the DL, secondary and RB, And look, most of this team ended the past two seasons bitterly disappointed thinking they could’ve won the SB. They’re motivated and grounded by their coaches and veteran leaders..
I agree that expectations can be suffocating, but I also believe this group is more than capable enough to handle it. I’ve said that a loss early in the season might be a good thing to ground everybody, but I also think…screw it…swallow those expectations and embrace perfection! Go out there and and validate those expectations every single play. Dominate like 2001, but finish this time!
It’s not hype…if they stay healthy and execute, they should be THAT good. So I’m embracing it…what a glorious time to be a Rams fan!
GO RAMS!!
