I don't feel the Rams offense OR defense has put together an entire game yet...... due to...well,
still getting comfortable with the schemes on both sides of the ball - making it 2nd nature. idk
What's interesting to me is the offense and their lack of emotion in which they play....that's not a bad thing...
it's just I think they take on Goff's personality a bit. The offense just executes or tries to...and if things go well - a mild celebration...and if they go poorly?
Nary an acknowledgement of failure...just walk off the field and ready to come back and do it again...just BETTER this next series.
Goff is missing something in his brain, which makes him quite suited for Football.....and that is his lack of fear...or much emotion. Goff is no Farvre/PRivers in their exuberance for playing a "game".....but Goff just executes and comes back again....like the solemn executioner. Goff is quietly relentless in his stoic determination to come back and back and back and try again. A determination that is unemotional & always present. Memento Mori.
It's an oddity, but I appreciate THAT quality in Goff...as I would if that quality was the man piloting a flight I was on (Sully?!)...or a surgery I was having and my doctor has that same demeanor. I think it lends itself to fewer emotional peaks&valleys and keeps Goff and his offense more present in the moment with no residue of bad mistakes from a previous play.
All this is...somehow, a compliment to Goff's mental approach to the game...an approach that is foreign to me but one I appreciate.
I've noticed this as well and my term for it is,
the silent assassin. Methodical, relentless, deadly. Just wait until he gains more experience. I think it's going to be great.
Interesting observations, Sunny. I haven't heard anyone say memento mori since I left college. I think you are spot on about Goff. I believe I read that Les Snead made a similar observation when the Rams interviewed him.
