amethread The Los Angeles Rams have gone into halftime with a 19-0 lead over the Arizona Cardinals because of one thing: competency.The game so far has been a slow burn. The first two drives stalled out as the Rams established the ground game with RB Todd Gurley . That opened up the passing game for the first touchdown along with some great field position thanks to new punt returner JoJo Natson. The offensive line began to churn and the Rams finished with another touchdown thanks to their work up front punctuated by a perfect block by RG Austin Blythe on the touchdown run.Defensively http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-ndamukong-suh-jersey , it’s been relatively easy going. The DL has held the point of attack by filling running lanes. Penalties from Arizona have made things even more difficult for them. And the secondary has done enough to kill off all four drives.I’m not trying to be rude to Cardinals fans, but competency makes things look easy.In almost boring fashion.Random Ramsdom 9/17: Victory Monday Head Coach Sean McVay press conference | The Los Angeles Rams’ official siteSean McVay shares some light on the Greg Zuerlein injury and what happened, JoJo Natson’s impressive performance, as well as the defense playing well and pitching a shutoutQB Jared Goff press conference | The Rams’ official siteGoff talks about the comfort he has in RB Malcolm Brown as he’s now worked a bunch with him John Franklin-Myers Jersey , the missed touchdown to WR Robert Woods, the under thrown (yet still very good) deep pass to Brandin Cooks, and the level of play of the defensePostgame locker room speech | The Rams’ official siteDo you like donuts?
