QuoteJamesJM this is just general perception. Seems to me most good RZ teams, the OC's, run plays in the RZ that are smooth transitions from all the rest of the plays... with obvious adaptions due to the more limited amount of turf area in the RZ... in other words... it's basically the same game plan squeezed into a smaller area. With McVay I get the feeling, well, more than just a feelinby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
My bet on Demby is that anyone who watches the all 22 or reviews the game in detail will not be coming here saying Demby was bad all game. Odds are they will say he was a little rough at first and then settled down. Demby has a bad rap from the summer. But the way the Rams played OL in the summer, it was easy to see the struggles but hard to see the gains. He was not in a coherent veteranby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills the Rams do have much higher percentages of scoring a td in the redzone and the team that have close or comparable offensive talent blow the Rams away in terms of execution down there Plus as has been pointed out before, when McV was the coordinator in Washington they had RZ issues even though they had the weapons (Reed, Davis, Garcon, D. Jackson). The RZ can include perby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills said the NFC West would be really tough... with the Hawks getting better, and the 49ers emerging I just don't get how people can't see that the 49ers are going to be a problem if they aren't devastated by injuries like they have the last two years Its obvious they are coming I agree about the 9ers.

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram Team A is a 75% RZ team. On average they get to the RZ 4 times a game and score 3 TDs and kick a FG. 24 points. Team B is a 67% RZ team. On average they get to the RZ 6 times a game and score 4 TDs and kick 2 FGs. 34 points. I'll take Team B, thanks (which is pretty much the Rams so I'm good with that ...) Except, the last 2 years they haven't been a 67% RZ team. 2017by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotekw13 So far so good! Looks like teams with explosive offenses, like ours, should be in the high 60's or even low 70's. The top 5 teams last year were Steelers, Chiefs, Bengals, Saints, Colts. They ranged from 73% to 67%.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotekw13 I recall, even when we were high flying last year, we struggled in the red zone. Jeff Fisher used to only try to get the first down when the Rams were inside the 20, instead of just scoring from the 15 yard line while you can still stretch the field a little. I feel like McVay does a little of this too. Getting conservative in the red zone. Anyway, it's a new year, but as I'mby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

It's so weird to see people responding to their own imaginary exaggerations. I can count on one hand, with fingers left over, the posters who actually say they are not comfortable with Goff or some verbal equivalent. Meanwhile some of Goff's biggest advocates--including me (and I go WAY back with that)--have no problem pointing out that yes, he has been inconsistent in the last 9 games.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Not on the DL. They are still not quite set at NT (could just be waiting on Gaines). At DE Brockers is getting beat up again and behind him is just Fox, who is a bit underweight to be a true base 3/4 DE. The problem is, while you can find DBs in lower rounds--Rams have been doing it--you can simply not count on finding a lower-round 3/4 DE who will play well as a rookie.

Quotedzrams QuoteOhiorams How about Jalen Ramsey? I may like the Ramsey option less. His contract ends after 2020 and he will cost $13M next year. If the goal is to switch him in for Peters after this year that's fine but we wouldn't be saving much money if any. And he comes with the same immaturity issues. He doesn't really help us this year because the secondary is our greatest strength aby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

All off-season McVay had Goff and the offense working on responding to certain defensive looks, and to going through progressions more quickly when they saw post-snap an unexpected defensive coverage. He did that as a direct response to things that happened to the passing game in the Detroit, Chicago, Phil, and New England games. So he saw an issue and worked on fixing it. That meansby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSuh-weet! I said the negative slope of the regression line was NOT, in itself, a good reason to conclude that Goff was "trending down" The original graph and all comments concerning its meaning have to do with a series of below avg. games (5 of 8).

QuoteLMU93 I agree with the rust idea. The last live action vs an opponent was a month earlier in live scrimmages vs LAC and then OAK. He has a ways to go in growing. No question.
