LA Rams QB Jared Goff won’t stand for blitzes any longer

It takes a village

This is a very positive development. The situation won’t clean up quickly this season. Even with 13 returning veterans on the offensive line, and nine with 2019 starting experience, 2020 will be all kinds of clunky at first. Players have not played together for eight months. Rust developed over time, and will not shake off with a couple of practices.

Yes, this is good stuff.  So good, in fact, that Goff himself confirmed his off-season regiment when he reported to the Rams training camp on August 3, 2020.

Information confirmed.

Anti-system-quarterback quarterback

This is very good news. After all, the Rams can’t fix what nobody owns. The fact that Goff is assuming some of the responsibility here is a huge step in the right direction. It’s the exact opposite action that a “system quarterback” would take.  Perhaps there is some hope in all of this after all?

The Rams offensive line, in the meantime, will not be shrugging their shoulders on this one. If you think for one moment that offensive line coach Aaron Kromer was pleased with 2019’s poor performance, you are sadly mistaken. At some point in the 2019 season, the focus changed from clean up to survival. The game changed for the LA Rams, converting from developing players into duct-tape treading water. They will be cleaning it up from their end too. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a team to fix a problem.
