100% I agree the Rams will be out of sync a bit---hopefully on one quarter! Practice is different than a pre season game and preseaons way below Week 1 intensity when every team thinks they are a playoff team....each ramps up a bit.

I expect the first quarter that McVay will choose "safe" plays....actually a 9 route thrown from a 5 step drop with max protect is one of the safest plays in the world. So, safe could be screens or Gurley runs or '9' routes. Because of Cooks that could look very, very good. There will be no 7 step drops in the first quarter, that is by 'safe' prediction. It will look like John Robinson circa 1983-1986 for the first quarter....hoping the D turns it on.

While on the subject of Cooks, I saw Watkins play 2 1/2 quarters against the Bears with Mahommes...wow, there is no sync between them AT ALL. Sammy looks like the 4th WR out there....very, very wierd. He had all spring and a full training camp, and he has a long way to go to get to that 16 mill.
