Offensive line play
The offensive line appeared to play significantly better against the Bears, and on the surface, it did. There were more double-team blocks, bigger running lanes and better pass protection. However, the Rams also used two tight ends often to help protect the offensive line from getting beat by the Bears’ pass rushers.
Bobby Evans only had one rep against Khalil Mack where he was left on his own and Mack walked him back into Goff for a near-sack. David Edwards also had a one-on-one rep against Mack and nearly allowed a sack.
As a team, the offensive line did well, but the Rams also only threw the ball 18 times – the fewest in Goff’s career. Expect McVay to get back to a more pass-heavy approach against the Rams with Brandin Cooks back, and possibly Robert Woods.
The offensive line has to step up against the Ravens’ pass rushers, which aren’t among the best in the league but take advantage of the time they’re given by the coverage behind them.
