I get the part about needing to know what the defense is going to do, but honestly, I think a lot of that could be determined in the film room... no?
IMO, what Ram fans want to see is a fast starting high powered offense. And we have the 'high powered' offense, but we don't start fast. And what do I mean when I say a 'fast start'? Think the freakin' whiners of the 80's. That team virtually guaranteed 7 points on their first possession of every game. For several seasons. When you played them... as soon as they got the ball, you knew they were going to march it down the field and score a TD.
To me... that's a fast starting team.
Of course, the offenses were different. We're also not the GSOT (yet?).... but I don't think we're that far off....
