On offense, the Rams have a good QB and RB. There receiver situation reminds me of ours the last couple years - i.e. not good. Not a lot of YAC in this group. This is not a team that can win a shoot out, or, for that matter, is capable scoring tons of points. Scoring 20 points is a real chore for this offense. Much like it has been for ours in the past.

On defense, I admit I don't know much about them. Watched them on replay and absolutely nothing stood out to me. Finnegan is a name but I have never been impressed with him as anything more than an good not great CB - akin to Wilson, but not as good. It appears to me, the defense is better than their offense but doesn't have the speed to keep up with our skill players. They have a solid LB in Laurentitus (sp?) but also start McIntosh. Their DL seems to be their strength but even that is not overwhelming.

They appear to be playing more soundly under Fisher but I just don't see the talent or, more importantly, the speed. They will try, and won't quit - but, unlike years past, I just don't think they match up with us.
