The finesse thing might be a little over the top, Sag.
I recall seeing the Rams being able to run the ball when the other team knew exactly what was coming. There was one particularly impressive 10 minute TD drive against the Cards, I believe.
As to Higbee, point taken.
In fact, there are a few other upgrades probably needed before we can go toe to toe with the top teams. I started a thread on this very topic yesterday.
But I’m certain that these coaches will adjust as best they can. I also expect the players to step up vs the Saints. Too many players let themselves and their teammates down in this Viking game. They are collectively far better than they showed in that second half.
