Keys to the Rams: RUN THE DANG BALL (1 Viewer)

[Rexman100]

Rizzi in his interview today praised how well the Rams drafted, especially their interior D. Sure we can call run, but we need to execute it. Hopefully we can.

Running the ball is critical in this game because it keeps the Rams offense off the field and it allows the Saints to control the tempo. What's just as important is when the Rams do have the ball the Defensive line has to get pressure on Stafford. I don't like the Saints chances of winning a shootout with the Rams.

1. Run the ball effectively.
2. Stop the run.
3. Win the turnover battle.
4. Limit the chunk plays and create a few chunk plays.
5. Win the Red Zone battles.

Earlier today, Ross Jackson brought this up on his podcast, with some interesting analytics.

There is a stat on yards given up by a defense in the run game OUTSIDE the tackles. The 3 worst teams are ( in no particular order) are DAL, Rams n Carolina. They give up 80 yds or more per game on outside runs.

The Saints ran for like 180 yds+ against DAL and in both CAR games!

The Rams? Just ask em about Saquon’s 355!

But Ross QUICKLY added: Jus because Saquon did it, n we got 2 pretty good backs of our own don’t mean WE can do it too! ITS da NFL! And da Rams are prideful n professional! They’re gonna come in here mad as HELL, with something to prove!!!

So we better be PREPARED n READY!!!


One Game!

1-0!

"There is a stat on yards given up by a defense in the run game OUTSIDE the tackles. The 3 worst teams are ( in no particular order) are DAL, Rams n Carolina. They give up 80 yds or more per game on outside runs." This is due to the Rams not having the best inside LBer (Omar Spaights and Rozeboom) allowing access to the edge. And the Rams dont have the best CBs either. But my point is, that we have to win at the line to even get to the point to throw the ball or be able to run to the edge. Will our oline win their match ups? (I think we still need to prove that we can beat an elite group of d linemen)

Run the ball Payton Rizzi!

Winning the turnover battle is just as key IMO.....but, yeah, the key to scoring points against the Rams is running it effectively and absolutely staying out of 3rd and longs, cause they can rush the passer.....

Not the same D without Donald.

Verse is a stud. Have to keep out of obvious pass situations

I agree with most of what has already been posted. I'll add that they need to shut down Kyren Williams. The Rams will run the ball until you make them stop. The Saints couldn't do that last year and that's what really frees up Kupp and Nacua.

Last year the Saints ran the ball 16 times. The Rams ran the ball 32 times. You have to make them one dimensional (like they did to us).

So McCoy missed practice again today. If he can't play it's going to be a lot harder to run the ball.
