Re: rams postgame

Idk how the game plan changed, but I enjoying seeing Fat Rob run into open space today vs. run into the back of his o-linemen for 2 yards.

Takeaways for me:
Great commitment by Gruden for sticking to the run today, it paid off in the end. Maybe they could start to use a little more play action once the d adjusts and puts 8 in the box though, but then again maybe we didn't because Kirk doesn't trust Pryor/Grant.
Grant only made 1 play today, but that was a hell of a play, way to make it count.
Great job by our depth guys stepping up, seemed like it was a revolving door of injury today. Hope Fat Rob isn't out too long.
Clutch play by Mason at the end there, reading the inexperienced qb's eyes and not even allowing them the chance to gain a little momentum.
Jay Gruden, idk why you have such a hard on for the fade, but it cost us 7 points in the first q and a chance to blow the game open. Idk that we've converted a single one of those in your years, you need to abandon that shit until Kirk/whoever he trusts can consistently execute in practice.
McVay gets some respek from me, everything I saw from Goff indicated he was doomed last year and he was very solid until the end, minus the strip sack from Kerrigan where he didn't realize the pocket was collapsing.
Also respek for Todd Gurley, I know he's cooled off since the hot start to his career but I trust McVay will be able to turn it around for him again.
Shouts out to the o-line for really stepping up today against a good Rams defensive front. Lauvao in particular, I still don't think he can do it consistently but he shut me up today.
J.No gets a shoutout for twice punching the ball out from Todd Gurley, I wanted one of these ball punchers for years that really knows how to punch balls and now we have one.

I suspect it will take some time for Kirk and whoever his top two receivers end up being to gel, but it ain't a good look for Pryor to have 3 drops in 2 games. Hard for a qb to trust you when you are only consistent at dropping the ball. I hope for Pryor's sake it's just growing pains and he learns to look the ball in his hands. He's got the talent, if he can't put it together by the end of the year his career here won't last long.
