No team fears this LA Rams offense, which is why it succeeds

Who is the most dangerous on offense?

The answer is that you really can’t.  The Rams run the ball well enough to move the chains on the ground. The Rams throw the ball well enough to move the chains through the air. And the defense does the rest. That is almost unrecognizable to the formula for success by this team just two short years ago.

Here is another challenge. Which running back is the most dangerous on the Rams offense. You could be correct to name Darrell Henderson, whose 4.8 yards-per-carry leads all running backs. Or you could say Malcolm Brown, whose five rushing touchdowns leads all running backs. Or you could say rookie Cam Akers, whose longest run of 46 yards leads all running backs. Whoever you choose, you can be correct.

Running away with it in 2020

While this year’s offense (395.0 yards/game and 24.0 points/game) is statistically similar to last year’s (374.9 yards/game and 24.6 points/game), this has been a relatively efficient offense. Not much flash, no sensational players. This is an offense that has little stings like hornets. One hornet is a nuisance. A swarm of hornets can be dangerous and deadly.  While the team won’t set records on offensive production this season, don’t be fooled.

But here’s some fun numbers. The LA Rams had 1,499 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns in 2019 (all season). After just nine games, the Rams already have 1,208 yards and 14 touchdowns so far. At this pace, the Rams are on track for 2,150 yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground. Those numbers are very close to the 2,250 yards and 23 touchdowns put up  by the Rams offense with the prime rushing of RB Todd Gurley.
