Chris Simms' Final Regular Season NFL Team-by-Team Grades

Los Angeles Rams
Offense: When the Rams made their jump to acquire Jared Goff, it was under the premise they’d complete their backfield for the next decade or so. It looks like that was a false premise; Todd Gurley regressed so far from his Rookie of the Year status that he was unrecognizable on film all season. Gurley quickly became just a straight-ahead ball-carrier with no patience or vision for opening holes. You know who else had that problem? Trent Richardson.
Defense: One NFL contact I’ve made told me the Rams could have the league’s best defense—if Gregg Williams didn’t complicate things. Williams is the notorious quarterback-hunter, but his complex twists and stunts and blitzes aren’t helping. L.A.’s next defensive coordinator needs to simply rush four (Aaron Donald and three others) and not muddy the rest up.
Grade: F
Right on point!
Best,
Laram
