Week 10: LA Rams @ Pittsburgh Steelers

[Steel Maniac]

Rams 30 - Panthers 27 W
Rams 27 - Saints 9 W
Rams 20 – Browns 13 W
Rams 40 – Bucs 55 L (with apparently NO defense being played by either team)
Rams 29 – Seahawks 30 L
Rams 37 – Falcons 10 W
Rams 24 – Bengals 10 W


Played 3 of the worst teams in the league. 6 out of 7 games they threw up 24 or more points. 3 times a team has put up 27 or more on them.

Seem to be all over the board. If the Steelers score more points, we win. Bank on it!!

Look at the Rams average of points per game. We are going to need some offense this game. Can’t count on three turnovers a game every week.

They spread you out, count the box then, call the play at the los. We'll need to play a bunch of man n cover 1. Their wr's are excellent running drags so we'll need to avoid rubs ( pick plays) where we bet bumped off the coverage. Got to get both edge pressure n a push in A gap or we'll give up some scores.
I would spread them out with 11 personnel n keep JS busy getting him n space against their olb's. Pounding A gap with 99 on D is not a play I'd run often. Play action earlier ( 1st down ) should help keeping us out of 2nd n 8 like we saw last week to often. JJSS stays in slot so if he draws Ramsey at least we can work outside against their lesser corners.
One thing I noticed last week was that Finney was solid inside for Foster. Huge test vs 99 if he can win some of those 1 on 1's it will go a long way in how the scoreboard looks at the end of the day. Game within the game.

What’s the game day weather looking like?

I dont see the steelers offense moving the ball with ramsy back there. I'd love to see the steelers get a win but mason is going to be even more jittery with Donald facing him. Going to test him for sure

Got to pound and commit to the running game.

Ya this is going to be a tough one for MR, I know everyone hates short passes but I think this is the type of game you try a short pass them to death.

We're certainly trying to count on 3 turnovers / week (or at least winning the turnover battle ever week).

Our O isn't good. We need the D to keep giving us short fields (and preferably scoring for us too).

Hopefully we can get pressure early & often to make the Rams O look close to as bad as they did against the 49ers.

Who’s ramsy?

[Oh wow]

Who’s ramsy?

Jalen Ramsey...or maybe that’s the name of their mascot?

The thing is, our O is uniquely designed to overcome elite CBs like Ramsey.

The fatal flaw of CBs is that they almost always cover WRs.

Solution: Don't throw the ball to WRs.

Ta da!

Brilliant. I knew their was a reason for all the short passes to the RB.
