The Rams for years has been a bottom rung defense prior to Fisher’s arrival. Improvement still needed on the offensive side of the ball for St Louis. They rank 24th in the league in total offense with 328 yards a game and push across just 19 points a game. Quarterback Sam Bradford has hit on 59% of his throws with 20 touchdowns and 12 picks. The Rams need more playmakers around their young quarterback.
