The key to this game will be our interior line play on both sides of the ball. If we can slow Suh and Donald down I think we will have success moving the ball.

Of course we have to also be able to stop Gurley without having to put 8 in the box.

The Vikings have a fairly good pair of DE's themselves. I'm not as concerned about them as much as running the ball between the tackles.

We can and will on Sunday.

Suh and Donald are a beasts however Armstead and Ramz are elite tackles.

Per PFF, Ryan did not allow a single pressure in 24 pass blocking snap against the Vikings. He's only allowed only 4 pressures all season with a pressure rate of 1.6% (leads ALL TACKLES IN THE NFL).

That is big time, prime time folks.

Anyone else see how many times Green Bay receivers were wide open on Sunday? I'm not sure if there were missed assignments or confusion for the Rams, but I bet Drew and Payton are scouring those game tapes.

I hope they can find some things - my fear is a 40 burger may not be enough. We're going to need a lot of mustard...

Meh ...

Rams are a good team but have they been battle tested like the Saints on the road? Lambs are the best untested, undefeated team in football.

Good luck against the Saints, #9 & a innovative HC in the dome. Take the Saints & the points.

Whether it's Davis, Robertson or a safety somebody has to stick on Gurley.
He's been pretty good as a pass catcher besides running back.

I just went back and watched the highlight package for each of the lambs games so far. A few things stood out.

1. Gurley is a monster. I hope our linebackers are ready for the edge and DL is stout.
2. They like to air it out. Look for them to take 5-6 shots this week off of play action. Hopefully we can stop Gurley without safeties in the box and let Marcus Williams play the outfield.
3. Many of their opponents big plays came from seam and post routes. We should have some opportunities in the middle of the field. Watson or Trequan might have a big game.
4. Their run defense has some holes. I'd feed Kamara and Ingram in this game, especially to the right side.

Other than Gurley and the d line, they are an average team.
Dome field advantage.
Saints win 38-31
