Saints win week 9!


The Saints believe they can embarrass the Rams in the Superdome come Sunday, then have drinks on Bourbon Street then after (like McGregor partying with Mayweather after the fight).


Rams Offensive Positives:

The Rams led under offensive minded Coach Sean McVay orchestrates a open repertoire of plays. McVay and Jared Goff carry the plan just perfect. They incorporate the perfect offense, that's why their the only unbeaten team, the run a fast pace, well planned attack on the situational side of football.

Brandon Cooks is fast but bigger defenders tend to contain him by hassling Cooks around, he can't take much of a hit anymore stemming from some rough years he's been through. LA's other WR Copper Kupp Is another dynamic wide-out, that can force tough matchups.

The Rams run a well balance offense under McVays situation style play calling.


Rams Offensive Negatives:

When it comes to the Rams offense there's no question of a well disciplined team. The Rams run an easy-to-learn format system that players are able to learn to dozen-of-dozens of plays in play calling/audibling. It's worked well enough to have a flawless record entering week 9. Los Angeles has just one weak spot on offense, the Rams frequency incorporating Todd Gurley might be overkill, Gurley is good and is in the MVP talks but too much is over doing it. The Rams use Gurley around 36% of the plays, which is a high ratio for opposing to plan key in on. "Too much Gurley could backfire"

For intelligent coaches they'll play call to match McVays calls.


Rams Defensive Positives:

LA does a great job on defense at both levels, they create pressure up front with Suh and Donald that forces quarterbacks out of their comfort zone which forces turnovers from missed thrown and timed balls and fumbles. The defense does it's part to compliment the offense, so with a perfect record nothing can be mentioned. They apply constant mix-up pressure that could confuse an offense on any given day.


Rams Defensive Negatives:

The Rams have a great front fourmen with Suh/Donald and a cover Secondary with Peters/Talib. If no Talib for Drew Brees it could be light's out moreso for Los Angeles' secondary giving up big yards or scores. The main dilemma is at the ML position, "this" is where the Rams will struggle. LA doesn't have a solid LB core that can follow man-to-man on both Saints' RB's, the Rams will suffer from quick mid-passes of 10-13 yard completions.


Saints Offensive Positives:

New Orleans Saints offensive firepower outranks the Rams just by a small fraction, Saints-54/46-Rams. The Saints have more weapons than the Rams on a committee basis + increased QB running production from Taysom Hill. New Orleans runs more formations that the Rams LB core can handle, LA will play the "guessing game the entire time.


Saints Offensive Negatives:

Not many, sometimes they can get overzealous on the (Bubble Screens) at times, it shouldn't be a factor on a thorough balance game played, similar in both of their last two wins vs Baltimore/Minnesota.

Saints defensive total sum up:

New Orleans Saints defense outranks LA's Saints-52/48-Rams.

"If matched head-to-head the Saints' defense is more powerful in a Tug-O-War then the Rams"

ALL SUMMED UP

"Saints win 34-23!"
