Remember this day: when Gurley looks like he lost a step, Woods and Kupp take longer to get open and last but not least our line got old over one year, Sammy did a lot for this team that you can not quantify, having a fast receiver means nothing you need a threat to take the top off the D on every play.

Bingo. My first thought after reading this was: They're gonna start Woods AND Kupp? Cornerbacks will cheat on both.

I'm sorry but last year Watkins was a one trick pony. All they had to do was take away that trick and he was JAG. He wasn't clever so as a CB you didn't have to worry about him disguising his in play intentions.

Defenses will cheat on a player no matter what. It's the Rams job to keep them off balance. They did that all year.

You're close, except defenders will take many more liberties with a receiver who is less of a threat to run by them. They have to stay much more honest when guessing wrong can lead to a quick six.

Scheme can only go so far; an offense also needs to have the THREAT that it can score at any time. Having a player like Watkins even on the field gives you that.

And, no, Tavon Austin is not that guy, and Reynolds and Thomas both have average speed.

The Rams have a problem that needs to be taken seriously.

IDK, didn't seem like Watkins was a threat to score at any time to me. In the red zone? Yes. But not from anywhere else. In fact, looked like he "misplayed" a few long balls and and had "half - @ssed effort on a few others. IMO, Gurley and Woods were more of a threat than SW.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
