In 2009 the Greg Williams Defense was a thorn in the side of other NFL teams, they were not completely sure how to counter it effectively for more than a handful of plays.

In 2011 the Rams have that sorted out....

Our Defense is now being used by other teams, although no one else blitzes to the extent we do... Obviously if I know a Defense is going to blitz 90% of the time then I have at least a 75% chance of having an idea of what is coming at my QB. Screens are eating our lunch these days... Although we barely seem to be able to pull one of our own off.

Then again in 2009 Darren Sharper was intercepting the hell out of everyone and turnovers were one of our defenses strongest points.


In 2009 Sean Payton's "spread the ball around" offense was driving defenses nuts. Now, if you look at the stats this week, Pittsburgh hit 4 receivers for over 60 yards (6 over 20 yards), Giants 4 over 50, and 6 over 20... Other teams are copying it also.

What got us to the Super Bowl and won it for us in 2009 is not going to work again. Apparently..... Obviously..... Once could conclude....


Time to change the way we play the game. Two seasons ago teams saw our "style" twice a year.... Now they are seeing it 6-7 times a year.

If Payton and Williams were genius enough to invent the round wheel once, they need to start looking at new inventions.... These days it seems everyone has round wheels.
