We assaulted the lambs. This is the best I have seen our defense play in a long time. If our defense plays like this, I don't know who is going to stop us. At one point late in the first half, the Rams had less yards on offense than the yards they lost giving up sacks. The defense pitched a shutout. They had a team record 7 sacks, and Pep got none of them. It was great. I may have underestimated our linebackers. They were all over the field. Richard Marshall started in place of injured Ken Lucas, and he played like a probowl corner. Saint Louis came into that game with a dominant offense and they were held to less than 200 yards on offense. What a performance by the defense. The D out there on Sunday reminded me of our Del Rio's D from 2002. They were flying to the ball, and there were hardly any missed tackles.
Of course with a defense playing like that, the offense just paced themselves. Offense finally found a running game. It may have come against one of the worst run Ds, but it was great. We had over 200 yards rushing. Deshaun Foster may be out for the season again, but in my opinion we have upgraded that position with DeAngelo Williams. Deshaun is always looking for the homerun, because he hesitates a lot looking for blocks to develop. Like the commentators said, our O-line is not that good, so we need a back that is explosive the moment he touches the ball. D-will may be the answer to our running game as he ran for 100+ yards for the first time in his career. And What can I say about Smitty! We have the best player in the NFL hands down. Honestly, most of the time Jake's throws are so terrible, and Smitty bails him out with great catches.
We did great in special teams as well, but there were so many penalties. We need to cut down on that. We got the redskins next week. We should handle them as well, but you never know. All I know is I don't like that team. They are in our way and they need to lose.
