The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions

I don't think anyone has a problem with Cousin's "efficient" style of play. However in order to be a contender, there will be times during the season that he has to take that play to the next level and expand on what his comfort zone is.

It is not an immediate need as for the first two games, our defense and running game did enough to hold the game close, but no matter how good your rushing attack is, you will run into teams once in awhile that are stopping the run, or maybe the run blocking is having a bad day and the QB will have to pick up the slack.

This is not an issue that needs to be immediately addressed as this team is not expected to be THAT kind of team right now, however that kind of thing is what separates a guy who the team is just biding it's time with and a guy who gets a long term contract and is looked at as the answer at the position.

When those situations present themselves, I'm feeling more optimistic than not, for kirk right now.
