You know...you’re being difficult, but this was funny so you get a like
An improved playoff run to be specific.
Yeah that rams game was very frustrating ! watching Cj Anderson Look like an all pro was very frustrating100% on all the OP points plus I’d add more innovative coaching and better game management by the coaches. Tired of getting into the playoffs and getting beaten by a team we should beat because they just find a weakness and we never figure out how to adjust.
You pretty much nailed it.
1) Red Zone efficiency
2) Defensive Passer Rating
3) Interior DL pass rush
4) Improved interior OL play + pass protection (and run blocking in red zone)
5) + 15% of total pass plays using play-action
6) Plethora of looks, formations, motion out of S11 packages
8) Force 7 more turnovers, which would make us top 10 (as far as 2018 ranking anyway)
Yeah, I think McVay totally outcoached Garrett. Garrett and all of the pundits were thinking the Rams would come out passing with their high flying offense and that the Rams would give up their usual 5 yards a carry on defense. Yet the Rams plan, even with all of the misdirection was pretty simple--run the ball and stop Zeke, and they managed to do both. You could see a smiling Garrett right after the game excited to shake the hand of a good coach.Yeah that rams game was very frustrating ! watching Cj Anderson Look like an all pro was very frustrating
Love to see us play the way we did vs the Saints day in and day out with that intensitysomeone has to remind this team, they can win and NOT to fear any team ot there, go out there ad make the plays, NO FEAR.
Offensively, 3rd down efficiency improved greatly after the first 7 games.3rd down efficiency on defense and offense killed us last season; specifically defense in the 2 games were we seemed to be physically man handled...Colts and Rams. We beat the Rams if we get off the field defensively on 3rd downs. IMO if we can fix this issue on both sides of the ball we are can go far in the playoffs.
If you look at it from the perspective of "what are the statistical parameters that lead to wins", then you have pretty well covered the primary areas for improvement with red zone efficiency and winning the turnover battle.1) Red Zone efficiency
2) Defensive Passer Rating
3) Interior DL pass rush
4) Improved interior OL play + pass protection (and run blocking in red zone)
5) + 15% of total pass plays using play-action
6) Plethora of looks, formations, motion out of S11 packages
