Talking Rams... What do you know?

[ForJimmy]

I’m hoping Luke can slow down Gurley and our edge rushers mess with Goff’s rhythm. We will probably need those short quick passes to CMC, DJ, and Curtis to counter their defensive line’s pressure. I’m hoping traveling across the country with no preseason snaps messes up their offense.

[TheCasillas]

Attack the middle of the field and get our guys in space. Their linebackers don’t have the speed to stick with our skills position guys and they just went through a safety shuffle.

McVay showed a lot of cards last year, and I think he is in for a down year. He is a bad clock manager and makes cocky decisions. I don’t think the talent is healthy enough to help him overcome like they did last year.

 

lastly, the rams abuse the 14 second rule, so it’s important that our coaches and Luke stay ahead of it. This would include a lot of disguised formations and hidden blitzes. They will eat us up if we run zone after zone after zone

funny how goff is only overrated when kupp is out with injury.

With either man as either DC/OC or HC:

• 1992 Norv (Cowboys) 31 - Wade (Broncos) 27
• 1996 Wade (Bills) 38 - Norv (Washington) 13
• 1999 Wade (Bills) 34 - Norv (Washington) 17
• 2004 Wade (Falcons) - Norv (Raiders) 10
• 2005 Wade (Chargers) 27 - Norv (Raiders) 14
• 2005 Wade (Chargers) 34 - Norv (Raiders) 10
• 2006 Wade (Chargers) 48 - Norv (49ers) 19
• 2008 Norv (Chargers) 20 - Wade (Cowboys) 17 *Norv had a DC named Ron Rivera
• 2015 Wade (Broncos) 23 - Norv (Vikings) 20

Norv is 2-7 against Wade. 1 win in their first meeting, the other with Ron as his DC. 

As a bonus, Cam has faced Wade three times and won once. 

• 2011 Cam 28 Wade 13
• 2015 sorry you know this one
• 2016 Wade 21 Cam 20 

Your 2004 score is missing a number.

Not good overall, but the Chargers one is encouraging.

I wouldn't put any stock into any of it.  Those Raiders/49ers teams were pitiful (as in beyond coaching, they simply had very little talent), whereas the mid-2000s Chargers were always loaded and the Falcons were good in 2004.

I know Cam is about to whoop that ass.

350+ Yds and 3 TDs for the man.

I hope so.

They didn’t look good in preseason, worse than us, but they didn’t play all their starters either. 

It was the preseason.

There are roughly a million factors in play. This is just one. I'd call it more interesting than significant.

I know Norv and Wade are pretty familiar with each other.

Coach who knows how NFL is played in 2019 vs coach whos trying to get back to the 80s even harder than Marty McFly.

Its kinda like McVay is playing against the coach he replaced.

All I know is if our o-line doesn’t do their job Donald will have double digit sacks after one game and Cam will be on IR.

I think it will be important to get rolling early. I think I heard they played the Raiders last year and they ran thru them but started very slow. So we need to score early incase they start clicking late.

Starting fast isn't exactly our MO.

I know. Haha! He didn’t say tell him what we can do. LOL!

But they didn’t play their guys last year in preseason either and they came out slow. So if they start slow, that might be our only chance to get the upper hand. 

Lean on CMC catching out of the back early. That should keep them from bull rushing. Use their pursuit against them. That’s all I got.
