Offense
The Rams have a nicely balanced offensive playbook that allows a power running back to really take over games. They also have a few Formations and plays that allow a quick WR to get the ball in space and hopefully make some defenders miss.
Key Formation
Gun Tight Offset TE is a great formation that allows you to take advantage of a big or fast player at tight end who will be a matchup nightmare for the defense. Use the HB Counter, HB Slip Screen, and 0 1 Trap to turn it into a great base formation.

Defense
The Rams’ defensive playbook is built around their defensive ends. While you may worry about drafting four DEs and leaving weaknesses elsewhere, remember that you can also use DTs and OLBs who are solid pass rushers in your scheme.
