Why doesn’t Dallas do what the Rams did?

[Roadtrip635]

The problem with this offense this year is that we don't have a #1 wr. Since the days of Irvin this offense, when successful, has always had a wr that required a cb with safety help coverage. Why is that important? To make the defense make a decision on where they're going to allocate resources. If they put an extra man in the box then we'll pass, if they keep the safeties deep then we'll run. It's pretty simple. Last year with all the talk about Dez not requiring a double anymore, Rod Woodson, defensive coach on the Raiders said that they played a safety over Dez the entire game.

This year there's no decision to be made, put 8 men in the box and take your chances with Dak and it's paid off for the opposition. Wide receiver by committee can only work when you have someone like a Brady or Rodgers, you know a GOAT, for Dallas to think that Dak was on that level was a serious mistake. So now you have a subpar passer throwing to mediocre wrs thus you're getting what you paid for.

You're right, the WR by committee approach might only work with a great QB, or at the very least a veteran QB with many seasons under their belt. People said we didn't need a #1 WR, but every team needs one at some point in every game. There going to be those times, you need to make a pass, behind the chains, behind on score or time and have that one player you have the confidence that you can throw it to them, that they will come down with it just through their own own ability. You gotta have at least one exceptional player in the passing game.

We don't have a QB to make a WR/TE look better, WR/TE to make our QB look better or the coaching staff to make either look better.

I hear you....and the more the merrier if we can load up on WRs.
A lot of teams don't have "true" number one, as there are really only about 10 of them in the league.

What the #1 does is give you an easy read, if they show a double team then you know that you'll have 1 on 1 elsewhere and you can throw to them. Do you remember the draw play? Now that Dak doesn't play under center that play has been torn out of the playbook.

That's true too, no one to draw attention. It makes for easier reads and forces a defense to compensate. We are playing much more handicapped. Without that threat, the defense is comfortable playing any player 1on1, which gives them 1 free defender every play to deploy any way they want. They can use him to spy Dak, spy Zeke, load the box, blitz, roll coverage, that's a tremendous advantage to a defense. I tried explaining that in the off season, but almost everybody thought I was crazy.

The irony of all this is the person most responsible for the Rams success? Jerry Jones.
He got them a stadium in LA and started this entire franchise over.

Because we are still too busy copying what the Patriots do...

#1 WRs vary in quality and ability and for some teams the #1 is a TE but every good team has that one guy they trust to make the tough catches and defenses have to respect and not repeatedly leave on single coverage.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Why don't the rams do like the cowboys did? Run off Goff and get a 4th round backup quarterback and quit running Gurley?

Make that copying the wrong ideas of what the Pats do.

Setting aside the fact that I never heard the term "#1 receiver" until the 21st century, Jacksonville reached the AFC title game last season - who was their "#1 receiver"? Minnesota reached the other: is Theilen or Diggs their "#1 receiver"?

Dallas had one last year, and an inefficient passing game. It's about scheme and a QB who can see the field and deliver the football.

 

[Praxit]

....it's complicated.

 

[robertfchew]

This is bull****. I’m not a Jerry fan but he does want to win more than anything.

It's just not true. Carrot would be gone, linehan would be gone if he cared. he wants tv camera time is all

 

[PAPPYDOG]

This off season, the Rams signed Suh, Marcus Peters, and Talib in free agency
Guess what? It’s working..........

It seems their roster/team building strategy is light years ahead of ours.




There are NFL fans out there right now who are disappointed with their team’s start to the 2018 offseason. Whether it was talent lost, talent gained, or the contractual implications that ultimately impact the organization for this year and beyond, there is undoubtedly an entire fan base out there that is not satiated. They wanted more for, or from, their team.

But that is not the case for Los Angeles Rams’ fans, where there’s more excitement than downtime.

Players are being traded, picks are being shuffled, pro bowl players are being acquired, atrocious contracts are being discarded or reworked, and they are already on the books for compensatory picks in 2019. It seems as though every day in March a Rams’ fan could wake up and just feel the excitement.

Goodbye Robert Quinn, Alec Ogletree, and Trumaine Johnson. No love lost, and best of luck to you in your new homes. But hello Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Sam Shields, and Ndamukong Suh.

Consider it addition by subtraction. And what the Rams have added this offseason isn’t something they’re hoping to build upon for a future run deep into the postseason. It’s predicated on a Super Bowl run in 2018.

Spend money on talent esp Defense talent nahhhh we only do and approve here OFF LINEMAN......giving out 90 million contracts to the Beef that Dak needs to function at the minimal (160 yards a game passing) here is no problem...when it comes to our defense we only do the draft....as both Will and Jerry have PROVEN they are the Draft Gods....lol....some of our fan base here have no problem having our team function as Daks support system exclusively....heck there screaming again for more Off lineman again ..... goofy time in our little Dallas world...

The Rams have a great hc with actual power to execute his duties, they have a real football gm (not a drunken wanna be rock star), a great scheme and system in place, and accounibility for players, coaches, and the gm to produce or else. Our gm has a lifetime pass to experiment with his toy.

Keelan Cole is Jags #1, young guy looks to be an athletic freak, kid's got some talent, would love him here
Diggs is probably the Vikes #1, but they're lucky that either could be a #1 WR

In the 90's back in the old 20th century days Mike was our #1WR Even back in the 70's teams had a #1 WR, they just called them the team's best receiver. It's not exactly a new concept.

Have you seen theilen and diggs play? they are lightyears ahead of any wr we have.

We are the Rams. Just ask Jerry.

 

[CowboyRoy]

The problem is this team thinks it can coach up players with their staff of former HCs like Linehan and Marinelli.

Therefore they choose players with less cost and try to put their system in place to get results.

It's not working.

Cmon, these bozos not only still have Twill on the team, they still have him starting. Twill is the idea of ideal an WR for Garretts offense. He can block, but cant catch and cant get open.

Good lord. I just read the title and man....grammatical error.
Thanks mods for fixing grammar

Doesn't matter Bro,, those that know you forgive you,,, your always good bro.
