Rams

VS

Chiefs

What I'm Looking for

Cohesion

Last week I felt the Rams didn't play well as a group, rather just individuals doing their assignments. This week I really want to see the team play as a unit and properly play the schemes. This means no errors from the O-line, and no slip screens for touchdowns on the first play of the game.

Chris Givens

When healthy, Donnie Avery was the receiver to stretch the field. Now there is Chris Givens, and I personally want to see if he's an upgraded version. We know he can run, but now I want to see if he can locate the ball and make some plays.

Isiah Pead

I'd like to see what he can do without 3-4 defenders meeting him at the line of scrimmage. He shows burst, vision, and speed. I think this kid could have some promise.

The OLB's

They played decently last week, but I want to see some improvements. I feel there were some assignments blown, which shouldn't happen when the front 4 is playing great.

Brandon Gibson

I've heard he's having a great camp...now I want to see if he's going to be able to back it up on the field. He had a great camp last year and...well...

Specials Teams

This unit looked GREAT last week. I want to see if this is something I can get used to, or if it's just a fluke.

I will be watching the O-Line, and yea everyone knows about the RT battle, thats an obvious one, but Im more interested in other things. The Chiefs bring much more Beef along their D-Line than the Colts did (a very finesse team).

The LG spot could very well be decided with this game. Probably not, but I see major separation coming. Especially as I see it as eventually being Rok Watkins, this match up should really separate him from Ojinaka. This is a great test for the 2 as it will show what we want our Starting Guard to be, a force in the middle.

Id also like to see more of Murphy at Safety, and potentially the Duo of Stewart/Murphy out there together. As well as some more combinations at OLB to see which is the most solid/reliably, and which is the most dynamic/playmakers

I want to see Mr. Watkins starting at LG and getting significant PT. I'd also like to see Givens out there with Bradford.

i want to see quick become our number 1 wr. i think last week everyone was nervous as hell going into the game and this week it shouldnt be so bad hopefully get a better look from everyone. i want to see special teams because i think it can be our saving grace this year and i mean our D will hold them our O will struggle a bit and then something amazing will happen with our special team unit be it a punt return or kickoff return for tds.

Should be a good game, hopefully Smith starts at RT cuz Richardson last week was horrible (thats putting it nicely). Wanna see what Steve Smith can do against a real corner who isnt named Justin King.

If Mikell continues to struggle in this new scheme, hopefully we can trade him to the Saints for a 4th, maybe 3rd rounder.
