As creative as McVay can be, he’s become very predictable on offense. Last week he finally made the running game a priority. Rams pundits were saying Rams weren't good at running the ball. Nonsense. They weren’t committed to running it. Against the Packers opening drive the Rams ran it for 5 yards and then ran it for 7. Next 4 plays were Pass, Pass, Pass, Punt.
When the Rams are going at an elite level they’re running the ball 30+ times. They weren’t getting to 20 carries at times. Prior to their last meeting, McVay was unbeaten vs Arizona. Main reason was the Rams dline was beating up the Cardinals oline and the QB play for Arizona was usually awful. All that change the last game. Donald was contained and Murray was flawless. AJ Green was a big problem vs Rams 3rd DB, Long. I feel this game will again come down to the Rams dline vs Cardinals oline and the Rams ability to run the ball and keep Murray off the field. No way would i be on the Rams tonight with any confidence. GL
