Something minor but interesting to note (Receivers)

I thought coming into the season we would be spreading the ball around with our new WR group more than we did 2013 and even though Shula has been Shula, we've managed to already have this in 4 games: 

 

Benjamin--- 21 rec 329 yds

Olsen--- 21 rec 254 yds

Cotchery--- 13 rec 158 yds

Philly Brown--- 9 rec 101 yds

...not to mention Avant at 10 & 90.  

 

So after 5 weeks, we most likely will have 5 receivers with over 10 receptions and 100 yards.  

 

Last season, we only had 6 total by the END of the season and 2 of them were running backs.  

 

I'm on the anti-Shula wagon like many right now but you can't argue we haven't been distributing the ball around more.  Yeah, it also has to do with the lack of run game, some minor injuries and us needing to pass but we're at least managing to see what these young guys are worth during the season in Brown and Bersin.  Brown fugged up big against the Steelers but it's totally redeemable if he continues to look sharp on the receiving end for us and manage to improve on punts...because there's obviously some spark in him compared to what we had prior to Ginn.  

 

Random observation but I thought it was worth noting.

I would give more credit towards Cam's improvement in throwing from the pocket than Shula's play-calling skills.

 

Yeah I think that's true and having guys like Avant and Cotchery help as well.  I liken them seekers...essentially always looking for the ball even after a play breaks or is extended.  We haven't had those types for Cam quite yet and it's helping him with his progressions.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      Everybody made too much of that. The CBA and the 17 game schedule is what kills the cohesion we see in teams across the league in the opening games.  You decide, look at your depth and make informed decisions there or you get a an extra quarter or whatever two quarters with your ones.  Teams that are set don’t have those openings as much down the roster to evaluate but that ain’t everybody. It is a quandary. I think they need that 4th preseason game back. But as I said, I don’t lay that as the excuse for Bryce to come out looking like he does to start seasons. He has an entire camp.

      Tell Me How Carolina Wins Against the Rams

      By strato · Posted

      Hey I said the 1pm west coast team, I said the up down up down and we were due for the up week.  You can’t know what is going to happen. There was a guy that detailed why the league would engineer a Panthers win to bring LA Rams back to the pack in conference standings.  Who really knows, and how much real belief do you have when citing these things? I generally have as much as my superstition allows. It rarely rises to an emotional experience. Usually it is more analytical. In terms of interest. When crazy poo happens and we win a game like today I for sure enjoy it.  I mean you have to think about it, how many times do you connect 2 4th and short situations for TDs? Who does that? That is like the most embarrassing thing for the Rams’ defense lol. That never happens and should never happen.  Expecting it to happen might not be a good plan. But it was pretty great
