Re: On to The Lambs ... again.
Crowd noise will be more of a factor this time around, IMHO.
Also Goff is useless without McVey. Sean McVay makes pre snap reads for Goff, as it turns out.
Goff isn’t required to make complex reads from the pocket. More often than not, he’s catching the snap, faking a handoff and throwing to a wide-open receiver in the vacant areas of the field. This is backed up by the numbers: Only four full-time starters have thrown fewer passes into tight windows (a defender within a yard of the intended receiver), per Next Gen Stats.
Making things even easier on Goff, McVay makes a point to get the Rams lined up quickly so he can get a look at the defensive alignment and call an audible based on that look. We wrote about this tactic last season, and McVay is still doing it in Goff’s third year. Here’s a clear example of the Rams head coach calling an audible for Goff.

This may be the game to have a headset malfunction. Then neither team can use them.
