Ridiculous. I want Garrett gone as much as the next fan. But. gimme a break. Rams have a stout O-line that controlled the whole damn game. Rams didn't need any Innovative plan. They ran it right down the Cowboys throats. Dallas defense could do nothing to stop it. Dallas were boys, hotless boys playing against grown men. The Rams dictated the plays. Dallas did nothing..That Rams O-line was phenomenal. Plain and simple. Gimme a dominant O-line and even a good RB over this BS "innovative, gimmick" stupid offense that everyone is so high on.. You don't have good O-line or D-line. You're screwed. Dominance will always win.
Absolutely not true. Look deeper and think more. Don't be like JG and SL.
What did the Rams do on Offense besides just line up and beat us at the LOS?
1. They used motion and personnel packages to confuse the Cowboy linebackers which took them out of position and made them hesitant at the snap. Every tenth of a second counts.
2. They gambled assuming the OL could 1:1 block the DL and didn't double-team, which allowed other OL to get to the 2nd level quickly.
3. They played at hurry-up pace so we couldn't swap out personnel.
4. They went to the LOS with 2-4 plays and based upon the way the DL was setup (where they lined up, hand placement) they chose which play and blocking scheme would work the best. Did you see Goff looking at the jumbotron the whole time?
5. Finally, they knew we would be focused on the pass, because Seattle couldn't run on us. They out smarted us and went in with a run-heavy game plan. But without 1-4, that game plan wouldn't have worked.
That's strategic and tactical game planning. That's studying your opponent and adjusting to beat them. That shows detailed understanding of Xs and Os. That's something our coaching staff has ever shown the ability to do. Our approach is to 'stop what we do', not to come up with an intelligent game plan that gives us the best chance to win in that specific situation. That doesn't work anymore.
