4 reasons why Week 7 is perfect game for Rams to deploy 12-personnel once more

(4) - Rams WR room is still banged up

Let's start with the most basic of arguments. After all, it's the KISS rule (keep it simple, stupid). The reality of any NFL team offensive strategy is simple, plan your tactics around the strongest personnel packages. The converse of that argument is, plan your tactics to avoid exposing the weakest personnel groups. Right now, the Rams offense is weakest at the wide receiver room.

I'm not suggesting that the team is not capable of moving the football through the air. I'm simply pointing out the obvious. The team should stick to the strongest group of the Rams roster. Right now, the wide receiver group needs time to recover from injuries.

While everyone understands that WR Puka Nacua remains on IR, he is only a small part of the team's challenges at wide receiver. The team intends to suit veteran WR Cooper Kupp soon. And there is still the matter of rookie WR Jordan Whittington being a bit banged up, despite emerging from the team's BYE week.

Ultimately, coaches decide who plays on game day and to what extent. And that holds true for the Rams as much as any team. But this team seems to ignore injuries when planning their strategy. Right now, the team can field a strong offense that leans heavily into sending two tight ends onto the football field. I am simply hoping that the team does so in Week 7.
