Very nice review, Alyo. Very, very nice and I have little to add even after just re-watching the game.
Our OL generally had a very good game. They controlled the Los throughout it seemed. Can’t overstate how well that bodes for continued success in this schedule gauntlet.
I watched Noteboom rather closely and I thought his play was a bit better than ‘serviceable’. We’ll see how DC’s attack him down the road but I am cautiously optimistic that he will hold up pretty well. Didn’t seem to me as if McVay was reluctant to call normal plays with Boom in there.
Staley is now getting strong pressure on opposing QB’s. Is it scheme or just players evolving, or both, I dunno. But I do know that it drove a seasoned superstar QB to distraction vs Seahawks. If this increased pressure continues then the Rams D is really in business.
Overall Rams O was much improved but it’s not quite ‘there’ yet. And it will need to be ‘there’ when facing that Bucs D. Can McVay pull this off in time?
Again, great report, Alyo. I really look forward to these each week. Very much appreciated, man.
