This is a game we have to look at seriously folks. Any true Rams fan is a bit worried about this game for one reason:
THE RAM DEFENSE...particularly the secondary!!!
The Rams defense isn't bad by ANY MEANS...just check the stats, because they're 8th in defense overall. However, they're going up against a Saints team that's 8th in total offense, with a relatively young secondary and they will be tested. With the exception of Shields and Peters this is a very young secondary going against a QB in Brees, that knows how to exploit weakness...so how did the Rams prepare to face them? We're gonna find out today.
The Ram offense cannot sputter today, because while games take on their own personality...this could be a real shootout...and the offense that has the ball last, may very well decided the game.
SO WHAT DOES IT COME DOWN TO??? In my mind it will be:
*WHO'S DLINE CAN GET THE BEST PRESSURE???
*WHO TURNS IT OVER MOST???
*WHO'S SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYS THE BEST???
The Super Dome is gonna be a hostile environment...NO BOUBT!!! Our Rams have to shut the noise out and play with GREAT FOCUS and INTENSITY!!!
ARE THEY READY??? Given McVay and the way he welcomes a challenge...I SAY YES!!!
LET'S GET IT STARTED...GET 'ER DONE RAMS!!!
