The Rams defeated the defending champion Buccaneers despite four turnovers, but they cannot expect to win a Super Bowl if those miscues continue.
It seemed a little odd that the Rams only gave Sony Michel one carry because he’s been so steady and Cam Akers has been prone to fumble in the past. Did that catch you off guard? Will this be one of those Sean McVay cliches — “Yeah, I should have gotten him the ball more”?That was a little strange. I expected to see more of Sony Michel, although he did log snaps on third down. I think he’s a little better in pass protection.
Did you have any idea Nick Scott and David Long were capable of stepping in and helping the depleted secondary as much as they did? Had they shown anything before? In their latest showing, Long led the team with seven solo tackles. Scott had five tackles and an interception and knocked away two passes.The fine play of Nick Scott and David Long, as well as any other Rams defensive back, is partially due to the Rams’ front seven placing such pressure on the quarterback.
Scott has stepped up throughout the season, and Long is enjoying a resurgence in the playoffs. The Rams picked Scott in the seventh round of the 2019 draft mainly because former special-teams coordinator John Fassel loved him as a special-teams prospect. But Scott also has developed into a rotational safety whose role was elevated after Jordan Fuller and Taylor Rapp suffered injuries.
The Rams-Buccaneers game was reminiscent of the Rams’ collapse at home against the 49ers in the season finale, which ended in an overtime loss. What seems to be the Rams’ problem?The Rams’ swashbuckling culture doesn’t place a premium on ball security. They’re about scoring and dazzling and dismissing their turnovers as the price of doing business.
