I think that's valid. I'm seeing way too many quick throws out into the flat through and over outstretched arms and hands. A lot of the passes the Rams throw are not clean, meaning that there are 2-3 defenders around the pass receiver. That does seem related to play design.

I think they are not clean because defenses are squatting on all of the short throws and naked boots. The Rams were getting fat on those "easy" plays and defenses have taken them away, forcing the Rams to beat them with more difficult stuff down the field. Which they've been struggling with.
