The Baltimore Ravens get to prove themselves once again in front of a national audience, this time on “Monday Night Football” against the Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens have been playing great football but haven’t seen a defense as physically talented as what the Rams have, making it a tough test for Week 12.
With so much change coming for Los Angeles, even during the season itself, I sat down with Cameron DaSilva to get the inside scoop on what the Rams have going for them right now. Take a look at the five questions this week, including why running back Todd Gurley seems to be an afterthought at times.
1) Jared Goff has not played well this season. Why has he struggled so much?
The offensive line has played a huge part in his struggles. He’s not getting much time in the pocket and has been hit 31 times – tied for the seventh-most in the league. As a result of the constant pressure he’s been under, he’s also struggled when given a clean pocket. It’s almost as if he’s expecting pressure, panicking and throwing the ball earlier than he needs to.
He was such a good play-action passer last season and the year before, but that hasn’t been the case this year. He has zero touchdown passes and five interceptions off of play-action after being one of the best play-action QBs in the NFL last season.
