Though the Rams led the league in scoring last year and finished 11-5, a persistent problem they had was defenses not feeling compelled to double-team Sammy Watkins, who often aligned on the weak side. Instead of helping on Watkins, the safety to that side would help inside against L.A.’s downfield crossing routes (usually run by Cooper Kupp). That help won’t be available now because Cooks has north/sound speed that demands a safety stay over the top. He also has the quickness to hurt you on east/west routes, which will allow him to be productive from any spot in the formation (Watkins didn’t necessarily offer this dimension). Our Albert Breer says Rams head coach Sean McVay has long been fond of Cooks and explored trading for him last year, before the Saints traded Cooks to New England.
Not exactly what some wanted to hear.
I’d better run for cover ‘Cause I think I see some incoming. Lol.
Defenses played a tendency, and the tendency was Goff.
Teams that studied tape saw where Goff liked to go with the ball so they started playing the keys, Kupp!.
ALL Goff/McVay had to do was adjust and start throwing more deep shots and outside the hashes.
That was an offense issue...not a player issue.
You might want to ask him why he did not see that in his film study...IF he did any.
Pfffft
