Los Angeles Rams

The Rams have a dynamic, young, offensive minded coach in Sean McVey.  He has groomed his quarterback, Jared Goff, into a very efficient passer who excels at play action and boot leg looks.  The offense runs almost exclusively from under center and three wide receiver looks, which makes it tough for the opposition.  Almost all of their plays look very similar to one another before the snap.  Until the play develops, the defense has no clue if it is a run or pass, let alone a deep route, screen or draw.

They cause so much misdirection and confusion due to their ability to disguise plays within the same formation, similar motion, or by alternating pass protection packages.  On first down, they may keep the back in to block, but release the tight end.  On second down, they chip the rushing defensive end with the tight end for a delayed release, and on third down the tight end stays in to block, while the running back leaks out into the flat, all the while all three plays remain exactly the same elsewhere.  The trickery can delay the reads by the defense and has really worked in the Rams’ favor.  Up until their game with the Saints, they had the fewest attempted punts in the league, meaning they score on more drives than any other team in the league.

Gurley One of Best in Game

Their offense is plain and outright nasty.  Todd Gurley is one of the most talented runners in the NFL and Brandin Cooks, if not the very best deep ball threat on the outside, is definitely in the top five.  Robert Woods has to be one of my personal favorite players in the league, not to mention one of the best possession receivers around.  He catches nearly everything that comes his way and he has a knack for getting separation on routes under 15 yards.  One of their latest additions has also been quite potent since joining the team.  C.J. Anderson, after being bounced around the league a bit, saw stints with Denver, Oakland, and Carolina all end with cuts, may have found a new long term home.  The back has seen some serious playing time as Todd Gurley’s primary backup this season and has averaged over 100 yards on the ground per game since joining the squad. 

Defense Talented Too

The Rams look great on defense as well, making them one of the most complete teams in the league all season long.  They traded for Dante Fowler, Jr. and their pass rush has certainly benefited from that.  Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, and Fowler seem to be a high powered defensive front that is capable of slowing down any offensive unit all while Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters, Sam Shields and Lamarcus Joyner keep receivers from getting too much separation.  This team will give it all they have and then some.  They are young, talented, and they fight like hell for their teammates, their head coach, and their city.
