There always seems to be one
or two "no-name" guys that give a team a big lift and get them to the S. Bowl.
Faulk, Bruce, Carter, Warner certainly are "name" players. So here are my list
of guys who could really step it up in the playoffs to make the Rams unbeatable: Holt - Yes, most people know of him, but he's no star - yet. He's missed on some big catches of late, but I continue to see STAR potential. His ability to put it into 3rd gear to get separation is very impressive. If it all starts to come together for him in the playoffs, he could break a game open all by himself. Bly - Another rookie. He could make the huge mistake in the playoffs, or he could break the back of the opponent by an interception. There is something about this guy's *fluidity* in coverage that is incredibly impressive. I just have a feeling that Bly can come up big in big games. Wistrom - His interceptions are no fluke. Maybe offensive coordinators will completely stop throwing screens on his side of the field to negate that aspect of his game. But nothing he does now can surprise. The next thing you'll see from him is that he'll dart out and grab check-off pass to a back out of the backfield. Little - They still haven't played him at outside linebacker in passing situations. I continue to believe that he could be a huge X factor on defense. Maybe, just maybe the Rams are saving him for a SPECIAL occasion. His hits on special teams give a small indication of what king of *impact* he could have on defense. Conwell - He blocks like a MOTHER. Wouldn't mind seeing him lined up next to Pace. That's like being lined up against a Panzer Tank across the line of scrimmage. Conwell has more HEART than ANYBODY. And guys with a huge heart make amazing things happen come playoff time. I'd never bet against Conwell. Holcombe - He hasn't gotten close to realizing his total potential. He's another guy with a HUGE HEART. He's the kind of guy who will absolutely not be denied. Warner hasn't totally connected with Holcombe this season like he could. Just two or three medium range passes to this guy in key situations could break the back of a defense. Horne and Hakim - Personally, I think these guys are stars, but non-Ram fans probably don't. They can break a game wide open all by themselves. |
