Why do some think that the Rams will need 4 or so games to get in sync?
Let’s see...
Stafford is a 12 year vet for crying out loud. Borderline elite and capable of running any O that McVay can dream up.
The players and coaches will benefit from a normal camp and 3 preseason games. That’s huge.
Offensive roster is otherwise identical to last year except for these upgrades:
QB
OC
WR (addition of Tutu, Jefferson, and Harris)
The D is the same except for replacing Brockers, Hill, and JJ. Of those 3 JJ will be the toughest to replace but I love me some combo of Fuller, Burgess, Rapp, and Scott at Safety. Hardly a bare cupboard.
ST should be substantially better than last year. Substantially.
This team is LOADED and McVay can take off the handcuffs.
This team looks like at least a 14-3 team and a SERIOUS SB candidate to me. Hell, the only reason I put down 3 losses is to allow for the likelihood that sometimes ‘stuff happens’.
