Here’s some great insight into the Rams team from their team board about their players. Thanks @Battlelyon for providing this. Cheers!
Well our only good linebacker Kiser will not play, Reeder will start and he sucks, so you should be able to run the ball and pass over the middle. Some other minor injuries that shouldn't stop guys from playing. Safety Fuller who is our best rookie is back playing, one can arguing one of the best defensive rookies. Rookie rb Cam Akers is back, Cam will shows flashes of what he can do thrown in with rookie impatience on the offensive line forming their blocks. I expect the Rams to give all three rbs touches to keep fresh legs going with Henderson getting the most touches, Cam getting the least. Henderson broke out a little versus Buffalo, averaging 5.7 yards a carry and over 100 yards rushing. Hyped rookie Terrell Lewis starts his career, this will be his first game. His question has been health, when he is healthy, he has shown to be a great pass rusher and thanks to Donald will have opportunities to produce.
Rams have issues stop the run like every year, they are making a bigger effort to run the ball this year, and having more success, giving an improved Goff more time to make plays. Rams keep producing good draft classes to build depth and for the future except the biggest glaring weakness at LB. Front four are solid and could be better depending on A'Shawn Robinson and Terrell Lewis. Secondary you can argue is the biggest strength besides WR position. There are four legit pro bowl caliber starters in CB Ramsey, CB Williams, SS Fuller and FS JJ3. There is some communication and defensive breakdowns going on, but as expected with no preseason and new defensive coordinator with new scheme. But the new DC Staley is legit good, Rams defense have allowed only a field goal in three of the four games they have played in the second half, only blemish was 14 allowed in the second half to Buffalo in their house.
Kicking game is an area of concern, don't know what to expect. Also Cooper Kupp is our punt returner and is not very good at it.
