-the bowling ball and the Cadillac. A one-two punch out of the backfield made possible by a well rested offensive line that seems to be playing with a chip on their shoulder. All this raises the floor for Jared Goff http://www.authenticslosangelesrams.com/cheap-rodger-saffold-jersey , who can bask in all the delights that an effective play action provides. So how will this all look against the New Orleans Saints with a trip to the Super Bowl in the balance?When Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen catches up on the most recent Rams’ tape he’s likely to get one of those giant AM/PM buckets of coffee and will try to figure out a way to limit the Rams ground attack. If they don’t, the Rams could make the Saints mighty uncomfortable by winning the time of possession battle on Sunday. If the Saints come out of the gate overcommitted to limiting the run, then is this the game where the Rams revert to their famed air attack? If so, the Saints could be vulnerable-they were 29th in passing yards allowed this season. Perhaps things get reversed this week and the Rams will look to set up the run with the pass. According to a recent Ringer article, the Rams had reads on the Dallas Cowboys’ pass rush, and whether or not to expect stunts that the Cowboys rely on to create pressure. According to guard Austin Blythe the Rams were able to predict what was coming with a 90% degree of certainty. This advantage made one of the league’s best lines virtually invincible. But how will they look without a week of rest and perhaps a bit less intel on what the Saints’ intend to do with their pass rush? If the line is able to match its recent success, the Rams have a terrific shot at appearing the Super Bowl. Defensively, the Rams did the unexpected and ethered Ezekiel Elliott and the normally strong Dallas running game. After a less than remarkable regular season, Ndamukong Suh appeared to shift into another gear and was the dominant run stopper that the Rams had hoped for when they signed him. In fact, the whole front seven was very solid White Ramik Wilson Jersey , with the only real breakdowns in the secondary. So what will the Rams be able to do to slow the Michael Thomas/Drew Brees connection? Despite Marcus Peters’ gumbo wars with Sean Peyton, it seems likely that the more physical Aqib Talib may get tapped to guard Thomas on Sunday. But how will the Rams pass rush be able to bother Brees, who gets the ball out extremely fast? Perhaps Talib will be able to jam up Thomas just enough to avoid some of those 8-15 yard lasers that the Saints seem to connect on at will. In their last five games the Saints have only broke 30 points once. Their Week 17 performance was bit of a throw-away, but if the Rams defense can avoid breakdowns they may be able to keep the scoreboard somewhat manageable. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles receiver Cooper Kupp is out for the season after tearing a ligament in his left knee, depriving the Rams‘ offense of a major contributor heading into a showdown with Kansas City.Coach Sean McVay on Monday confirmed the ACL injury for Kupp, who led the Rams in yards receiving last season. Kupp is likely to have surgery this week.“It’s a huge loss for our football team,” McVay said. “He’s such an important part of what we do, and a great football player, great person. It’s tough Todd Gurley II Jersey , but fortunately we’ve got guys that are ready to step up.”Kupp has 40 catches for 566 yards and six touchdowns this season, providing reliable hands in the slot and a knack for big catches. The former third-round pick from Eastern Washington has been a key contributor to McVay’s high-octane passing offense in both of his NFL seasons.His absence will be felt right away by the Rams (9-1), who will be without one of Jared Goff’s most familiar targets when they face the Chiefs (9-1) in Mexico City next Monday night in one of the biggest games of the NFL’s regular season.“He’s been a valuable piece of our team, and a guy we’ll miss,” Goff said. “He’s a tough guy (with) a tough family, and I know he’ll come out stronger through it all.”Kupp was hurt on a play with minimal contact Sunday in in the fourth quarter of the Rams’ 36-31 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. An MRI exam confirmed a torn ligament for Kupp, who already missed two games last month with a sprained left knee after going down awkwardly on a horse-collar tackle by Darian Stewart in Denver.McVay is optimistic about the Rams’ ability to fill Kupp’s role with a mix of receivers.Robert Woods, who leads the Rams with 55 catches, is likely to play more frequently in the slot. Fellow starter Brandin Cooks, who leads LA with 857 yards receiving Authentic Dominique Easley Jersey , is likely to get more balls thrown his way after catching a season-high 10 passes against the Seahawks.And second-year backup Josh Reynolds is certain to get more playing time, particularly against the Chiefs.“Josh Reynolds has definitely demonstrated he’s more than capable,” McVay said. “He is a starting-caliber player, and that’s what we’ll do moving forward.”Reynolds has just seven catches this season and just 18 receptions in his 26 career games, but the former Texas A&M star has earned the Los Angeles offense’s trust while filling in for Kupp earlier this season. At 6-foot-3, he also provides a different size matchup on the outside compared to the smaller Cooks and Woods.“I was sorry to hear about (Kupp) like everybody else,” Reynolds said. “I’m just doing my best to fill in there.”The Rams also could get receiver Pharoh Cooper back in their lineup soon. Last season’s Pro Bowl kick returner has been sidelined since the season opener with an ankle injury, but McVay indicated the Rams are likely to make a decision this week on activating Cooper from injured reserve.“He would physically be able to play right now,” McVay said. “In terms of if we decide to activate him back, those are a couple things that we have to talk through.”The Rams have been largely healthy this season Youth Marcus Peters Jersey , with a few glaring exceptions. Along with Kupp’s struggles and Cooper’s season-long absence, Los Angeles has been without cornerback Aqib Talib for the past seven games due to an ankle injury that required surgery.Talib said Monday that he still hopes to return when the Rams face Detroit on Dec. 2 in their first game back from their bye week.Talib also praised his replacements in the secondary and had encouraging words for fellow starter Marcus Peters, who criticized himself after last week’s loss to New Orleans.“That’s just part of playing DB,” Talib said. “I only know one DB who was like perfect all the time, and that’s Prime (Deion Sanders). You’re going to go through those stretches, but that’s why we’ve got short memories. That’s why we play the toughest position on the field.”
