The Rams will start their fifth offensive line combination in five weeks against the Cowboys’ fierce defensive front led by Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence
INGLEWOOD — The Rams’ patchwork protection plan for quarterback Matthew Stafford worked for a few weeks before falling apart against the San Francisco 49ers’ vaunted defense during a forgetful performance on Monday night
The Rams will start their fifth offensive line combination in five weeks, one of many reasons why Stafford and his offense have struggled to score points this season, especially in the red zone. But before the Rams can worry about touchdowns and getting newcomer receiver Allen Robinson involved, they’ll need to ensure their protection plan will hold up against Parsons and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who would be the top pass rusher on most teams.
“Communication needs to be at a premium, especially with the crowd that we’re probably expecting this upcoming week.” “When he came in the other night,” Stafford recalled, “I told him, ‘Hey, I’m going to be in your ear all night. Don’t worry, you just go out there and play and I’ll get us going in the right direction.’ … That probably is something that I can do to try to help him go out there and just play as fast as he possibly can and it’s something that I’m more than comfortable doing.”
Running backs Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson have struggled to find a rhythm this season, making the Rams one-dimensional with their air attack that features heavy use of wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who has a league-high 54 targets this season.
