If Barkley ran behind the Rams line

he might have had 3 thousand yards.

Man, the Rams are good up front. Really good.

Superbowl good.
Imagine if he

Ran behind the Great Wall of China! He'd have 100,000 yards at least!
Both lines, the Rams' and Dallas' opened holes at times

tha Saquon Barkley could've galloped through carrying the football by wheeling it in a baby carriage.

I though it was interesting that the Rams dialed up a few blitzes early in the game, but once they had a firm lead and had
had Dak looking rattled, they pretty much settled back

and rushed only 4 men the rest of the game. Fooking Donald is so explosive off the ball the Boys' o-linemen were tackling him from behind on several plays.

Keep in mind when their DL is Donald, Suh, and Brockers, those are three 1st round DL.
It's insane

what Barkley was able to do this year behind a bottom of the league offensive line. Our top priority should be to improve the OL, because he is unstoppable.
Now imagine if Barkley ran behind

the Maginot Line? He'd have run for, uh, uh, never mind.
Rams DTs stand out

That's a very good point. Since we have a very special running back,

it makes sense to get guys who can block for him.
Sharks with laser beams!

GO SB!

To find a QB. Because once we get an elite QB, Ds won’t be able to key on Barkley. You can draft all the OL you want, but if teams put 8 in the box to stop you, it will be tough to run.
But if your QB is on his butt,

and Barkely is constantly dodging defenders in the backfield, what then?.....don't waste Barkley, get an OL in front of him....
Get an OL.  
Boy Cord : 1/13/2019 10:02 am : link
Period. End of story. Doesn’t mean you have to use the #6 on OL.
A good O Line

improves Barkley's and Manning's game. Don't blame failure on Manning. It's a Team Game.
We know what SB is capable of  
Bluesbreaker : 1/13/2019 11:11 am : link
The line will be much improved I think they sign at least
Two FA starters and add another in round two .
Barkley will have success to a degree behind any O-line .
Rams OL is good  
ChicagoMarty : 1/13/2019 11:36 am : link
but their coaching is terrific.

Almost every running play had motion going both ways

Cows DL and LBs had to be on their heels as to whether there was going to be a jet sweep or a reverse or a power rush or a trap against the tide

Neuter the penetrating dl and freeze the mobile lbs to allow blockers good angles into them and voila - a positive run gain.

Add the play action off the run to a smart TE and slippery wr's and you have an offensive machine.

The motion is what really captured my attention. Never knew where the play was going. Contrast that with many of the Jint offensive plays where everyone on O is just standing around and hoping to just overpower the D.

Now to be fair the Rams OL is experienced and has been together for a while and have not suffered incapacitating injuries. But the Rams have a coach who really knows how to maximize what he has.

Forgot about Fowler as well.

Get an "elite" qb and have him play behind the Giants oline? How long before he is declared a bust?
Much of the Rams running success is due to play design.  
Spider56 : 1/13/2019 2:37 pm : link
Dallas had no clue how to deal with the real or faked Jet sweeps ... Every time the WRs cut thru the backfield, it froze the LBs and gave the RBs a crease. CJ Anderson had a heckuva game ... it shows we need a complement to SQ.
