The Rams have the speed on Defense to beat “rabbit” QB’s like Kaepernick, Wilson and RG3 as proven last year and they have gotten better on both sides of the ball using the haul of draft picks they got by trading the RG3 pick.
And as mentioned, teams have had an off-season to watch film and to figure out the “Pistol” offense.
In STL, we might be seeing The Greatest Show on Turf, Pt. II
How will teams stop Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Cook, Kendricks, Quick, Pettis, Givens and Sam Bradford, who will be in the same system for the first time in his career?
Bradford posted a respectable 82.7 QB Rating on a team with very little help up front or receivers to throw to.
The Rams have bolstered their OL with the signing of FA Jake Long, moved Roger Saffold from LT to RT, drafted Barrett Jones and drafted several speedy and productive WR’s and acquired the speedy 6’5” TE Jared Cook.
Again, the Rams beat SF and SEA and tied SF in their first meeting of the season, a game they should have easily won and they went 4-1-1 in the NFC West.
The Rams will surprise a lot of people this season and they will also be fun to watch with the speedy Tavon Austin playing in the slot, lining up wide or even in the backfield as well as returning Punts and Kicks.
This kid is something special and he’s not cocky or arrogant. After he scores, he just hands the ball to the ref.
We just might see both Wild Card teams coming out of the NFC West.
Romo has been surrounded by talent, but he just can’t seem to make the play when his team needs it.
