You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. So don’t expect the LA Rams to attempt any major changes to veteran players who have been added this offseason. After all, that same principle can apply to newly arrived quarterback Matthew Stafford, who looks for a big body when the pressure arrives. In 2009, rookie Matthew Stafford tossed the ball to tight ends Brandon Pettigrew and Will Heller for a combined 65 of 88 for 655 yards and five touchdowns.

A year later, he found just Pettigrew for 71 of 111 for 722 yards and four touchdowns.
