The Rams have established a grizzled and wintery offensive identity-the bowling ball and the Cadillac. A one-two punch out of the backfield made possible by a well rested offensive line that seems to be playing with a chip on their shoulder. All this raises the floor for Jared Goff, who can bask in all the delights that an effective play action provides. So how will this all look against the New Orleans Saints with a trip to the Super Bowl in the balance?
When Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen catches up on the most recent Rams’ tape he’s likely to get one of those giant AM/PM buckets of coffee and will try to figure out a way to limit the Rams ground attack.
