May seem a little drastic to some, but maybe not to others.
And these suggestions are in the context of Rams being on a 3 game losing streak while falling 3 games behind the 49ers, sooooo... IOW, what we’re currently doing ain’t working, anyway, so what us there to lose by experimenting?
In no particular order:
Give Henderson more snaps while Gurley is out. Heck, maybe even when Gurley returns unless Gurley demonstrates that he’s 100%. Henderson has “it”, I think. I miss those chunk runs.
Why not give Edwards starts over Demby? WTH do they have to lose, seriously? Edwards can grow more rapidly and I doubt that he would be worse than Demby, tbh. Edwards has an NFL future, but I don’t think that Demby does. Sooooo...
Give Natrez Patrick more snaps over Ebu at Edge. A lot more. NP is a playmaker and great tackler and Ebu seems to constantly get washed out.
Wouldn’t 12 personnel make more sense right now than the 11 personnel that McVay favors? Sit Cooks because Goff doesn’t have enough time for deep routes to develop, anyway. The second TE could be useful to either assist in protection OR as a quick strike receiver over the middle.
So, why not shake things up a little bit? Like I said above, what we’re doing now isn’t exactly working.
