Rams need to get a lead early over the Eagles.

December 09, 2017 06:49AM
There is no way that the Eagles' loss to the Seahawks hasn't created a bit of doubt.

So the best thing the Rams can do is to get an early lead and add to that doubt.

Allowing the Eagles to get ahead will only fuel the Eagles' notion that the Hawks loss was an aberration and not an indication.

That means, especially, that the Rams need to keep the Eagles' RBs from ripping off some long runs early like seems to happen every game before the Rams tighten up.

Passing, I think, revolves around Zach Ertz. He is the guy who makes it happen. Bottle him up (somehow) and I think their WRs can be covered well enough man to man. And, of course, getting to Wentz early and often. Doesn't have to be a lot of sacks; just constant pressure not allowing him to get settled.

And, they need to pressure his right side so when he bails out he has to go to his left. He's not nearly so effect throwing on the run when he's scrambling left as he is going right.
