I think Brandin Cooks will have a better year the Rams this year than Sammy Watkins did last year just because Cooks and Goff will have the entirety of the offseason to work together.

I don't want to sound like a jackass here, but that's something a lot of people are predicting. I agree.

Cooks has had a great OTA/minicamp, and it's exciting to see, but I'm curious if his downfield blocking is up to par with Sammy's. Watkins was a killer downfield blocker last year. Maybe the best I've ever seen from a Rams WR.

I'm really excited to see Cooks in live action. It should be fun.

Cooks is really good and it will be super fun to watch the Rams on both sides of the ball this year.

Yeah the offense is close to the same, maybe the O line and RB situation will be better. The TE/WR situation is definitely worse. But those hires are absolute head-scratchers. Ken Norton is responsible for the Raiders defense of the last two years (even in their awesome 2016 season they were 26th in yards allowed). He wasn't working with great personnel but he's also getting a gutted defense in Seattle. Brian Shottenheimer destroyed the Georgia offense, going from 8th in scoring offense to 85th in one season. He wants to use the run to set up the deep ball, the only problem being that the team can't run for poo poo. It certainly looks like a trainwreck but we'll see how it plays out.

Seattle's offense is almost assuredly going to be better than last year because the pass/run split was so wonky. Assuming Penny is average (and healthy), the overall offense should still be more productive even factoring the new OC and loss of offensive talent.

I'm the presumption that Sherman flatly stated Jimmy G has a tell but would not tell him what the tell is so that he could fix it.
