Rams' Pristine Offensive Display Puts Questions to Bed

The preparation entering the game was at an all-time high, while the execution was at an elite level.

2. Can the Rams keep Matthew Stafford protected?

No issues on Sunday. The Cardinals did not have Walter Nolen, which makes a huge difference, but on 31 passing attempts, Arizona secured zero sacks. The offensive line was excellent, and for the first time in years, there is true continuity that is able to be extended into the next season. Warren McClendon has filled in remarkably well for Rob Havenstein and for an offensive line all under contract entering next season, it's been magical to watch.

Plus, a successful rushing attack will keep any pass rush at bay as well.

3. Will McVay stick with the run if it's successful?

Not on the first drive but every drive after. This is where a guy like Mike LaFleur is so useful because he understands the details of run designs. With players like Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, there is a clear floor and ceiling, with a lot of space in between.

The Rams have finally understood or in Williams' case, relearned what that space can mean for an offense, especially with two men willing to do it all for the cause.

4. Is it time to give Blake Corum more carries?

Oh yeah and look at the results. Corum followed up a career day last week with another career day that has propelled him to the front of the line in terms of importance. Corum has set himself up for a phenomenal end to the season as well as a postseason journey to remember.

Corum had 12 carries for 128 yards and had he played in the fourth quarter, he would've had a lot more. Corum was brilliant, finding continuous pockets of space and exploiting them without a second thought.

5. If Tutu Atwell is back, how will that affect Xavier Smith's opportunities?

Didn't need to answer this one because Atwell wasn't back, and Smith filled in for him fine. The truth is that no one really knows what is going on with Atwell, his health, and his activation.
