Remember: The Team with the Ball Dictates the Action
I’ve been studying up on the Rams and their 10-6 season and, yes, they have a ferocious defense. It’s going to take sound planning to beat this opponent, but I trust that Matt LaFleur and his staff possess the smarts to do so. The Rams’ defense led the league in fewest yards yielded, passing yardage […] The post Remember: The Team with the Ball Dictates the Action appeared … [Read more...] about Remember: The Team with the Ball Dictates the Action
