Chemistry between Jared Goff, Sammy Watkins of utmost importanceAlden Gonzalez
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams' regular-season opener, at home against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 10, is less than two weeks away. They'll play their final preseason game in Green Bay on Thursday, then trim their roster from 90 to 53 players by Saturday. The most difficult decisions will probably come at wide receiver, running back, defensive line and linebacker. But first-year coach Sean McVay needs to settle a lot of other matters before the games start counting. Below is a list of the five most important things to clear up.
1. Chemistry between Goff and Watkins: Jared Goff and Sammy Watkins have had only eight practices and two games together. They have connected only two times in five tries against the Chargers and Raiders. On Saturday, in a 21-19 loss, Goff threw to Watkins only once and wound up with an interception. He said afterward that his chemistry with Watkins has "come a long way," though he admitted that it still needs work. "The more reps you get with him, the more he can trust you and the more comfortable he is with throwing the ball to you, and the more you get open," Watkins said last week. "That's the best thing ever."
