What are your three keys to victory on Sunday night for the season opener vs the Ram’s?
Mine as are follows
Establish the ground game, typically one of the hardest things to do in football especially early. Is getting that run game jelled between the Oline, TE’s, and RB’s. We have mostly familiar faces on the Oline with a couple of new ones so would hope the ground game gets going early and often.
A lot of new DB’s vs a high profile passing attack. Limit the amount of explosive pass plays, and let’s see some of our new CB’s play the deep ball well. Something we haven’t had here in a while is CB’s with plus deep ball skills. Another difficult thing to do for CB’s, much like an outfielder in baseball when it comes to judging that ball, timing your jump, and staying in position most of the time you either have it or you don’t.
New FG kicker, sounds like he might be able to make 70 plus yard FG’s. For this game, make the make able kicks. IE FG’s less than 40 yards and PAT’s-let’s build that confidence.
I think you have the key points down I would maybe edit #2 to include the DL and DBs. How the new additions in the secondary and the DL impact each other(incl Levi as a new addition based on apparently actually healthy)
First play, Jamo on a dig route just to show 'em that we can if we want to, and then run it down their throat on the next series because that one goes for a TD.
I’m thinking more along the lines of turnovers on offense. It’s week 1, so you know there are going to be mistakes, just don’t be the team committing the most egregious of mistakes, turning the ball over.
