Thoughts/Opinions about the Rams!

Throw out the record, Rams are a good team that most likely will be playing in the postseason this year. They pressed both the 49ers/Eagles, blew out the Seahawks in their house, have a SB winning QB and one of the best HC’s in this entire league.

Offense

-Rams defense isn’t full of star player any longer, outside of Aaron Donald. Donald can be a game wrecker, where the Cowboys need to know where he is lined up on every snap as the Rams look to exploit the best matchups for him.

-Pass defense is a extremely young, where they employ a 5’8 slot corner. They like to play press coverage, in which the Cowboys receivers have struggled with this year.

-Their run defense is kind of like the Cowboys, very inconsistent, one week they are real good, another week they cannot stop a cold. You would think the Cowboys want to come out of their bye, running the football better, however, they may have bigger advantage in the passing game, if the OL holds up.

Defense

-They have one of the best WR units in the entire league. Puka is an offensive rookie of a year candidate, Kupp is remains dangerous, Atwell has Turpin type of speed and he has the ability to stretch the field. Their TE, Higbee also can give team struggles in the passing game. Gilmore has struggled with speed/quickness all season long, Rams certainly have the advantage throwing the football.

-They are a very underrated rushing team that uses a lot of unknown backs, where McVay still forces the linebackers to stay discipline with their reads.

-Their OL is probably their weakest unit on the offense. Fans who follow the draft closely, remember Steve Avilia from TCU, he might be one of their best lineman. Tackles struggle with speed off the edge, but they are better within the interior. They might have to move their guard to tackle due to injury. This is where the Cowboys have their biggest advantages.

-Stafford is more of a pocket passer these days, without the threat of running the football.

Special Teams

-They just cut Maher this week, heard they were looking at the long time Packer kicker.

-Cowboys really struggled against the Chargers punt return/coverage.
