The Ram WR’s were magnificent in catching away from the body throws. We are being spoiled, y’all.
I admire McVay for not going into a shell even with a big lead late in the game.
Can’t praise our OL enough. All game long they were imposing their will and by the mid 3rd quarter on the Card D was exhausted.
Honestly, how do you take away the starting position from Blythe? I’m a big JB fan, but Dang!
Tbh, I’m not seeing the flash plays from our rush LB’s, with the exception of an occasional flash play from Ebu. From Christian, Countess, Shields, and NRC, sure. Plus the other mostly all star starters, of course. But Easley, Longacre, and Lawler have been just so-so, IMO.
There seems to be a quiet, unflappable confidence by both the O and the D. Their body language seems to be saying “we got this”.
Another thing. Isn’t it a joy to watch the D’s play make the job of the O so much easier? Then the O returns the favor by running up a lead that makes the D’s job so much easier. Been a long time since we’ve seen THAT, huh?
Hard to watch the secondary from the tv broadcast, but when I could the Card receivers seemed mostly smothered. What a secondary.
McVay won 34-0 going away and without getting particularly fancy in his play calling. Didn’t need to reveal any more of his new wrinkles. Probably saving them for the Chargers and/or Vikings.
I’m sensing that both the O and the D are just getting warmed up as they continue to gel. Scary thought for upcoming opponents.
