Missoula Griz Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Last week was a positive step forward for the passing game, but will it continue? The Rams have been boring the doughnuts out of me so far this year. Will it be run first AND pass only when necessary, or will the new coaching staff realize the benefits of the QB/WR'S tools they have on the field?

Chief Dick Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Don't know. Just wanted to say hey to an old-timer. (and if you don't remember, I use to be Martyball, then Guntherball, and now my current name). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdadreed Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Linehan's approach is much more ball-control & low-risk than the Air Martz days. The Rams days as an offensive juggernaut are likely over. I would not call it a run-first offense, just more balanced & risk adverse than the Mad Mike days. I can't wait to see the matchup this week when Martz & the Lions are back in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, seriously, Holt has 20 catches & 2 TD's already. He should have had another TD when he caught a ball in the end zone last week & was shoved out of bounds before landing. The Rams are still throwing the ball, just not as wildly as years past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogansghost Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I can't remember which site I read this on, but apparently last week they let Bulger call the plays using some of the older Martz terminology he's more comfortable with, and it did seem like the offense was clicking more. I don't think this is a radical shift in Linehan's philosophy, obviously, but it seems like they're taking some steps to make Bulger comfortable with the new system.

loaf Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 short term, and I mean tomorrow, we'll probably see more of the airing it out variety offense. Long term, I'm not so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 THey have reshuffled the playbook, inserting quite a few of the plays from last year. I'm expecting today to be a shootout, but there is a major concern with Bulgers accuracy. There may be something up with hs shoulder (twice injured in two season) that is affecting his play.
