In. Samson Ebukam? Out.CDTThe Los Angeles Rams have released their media guide for Week 1 of the 2019 preseason against the Oakland Raiders and with it their unofficial depth chart:A reminder that this is from the Rams’ communications staff and not the coaching staff.Nonetheless, observations...QBNo surprise with Brandon Allen as the QB3 over John Wolford. The preseason will have more impact here than training camp as Allen has no practice squad eligibility remaining. If the Rams go three quarterbacks wide on the 53-man roster, it will need to be validated in the preseason. Otherwise, they can stash Wolford on the PS.RBDarrell Henderson as RB5? Earn it, rook!WRA bit surprised to see JoJo Natson “ahead” of Mike Thomas.TEI take this one like the running back group. The staff is likely going to want to evaluate the options for TE3 in preseason action to see if anyone can unseat Johnny Mundt.OLSome intrigue here with David Edwards at backup left tackle and Bobby Evans at backup right tackle. And again, the rookies slotted into the back of the depth chart might not be accurate.DLSebastian Joseph-Day is having himself an offseason. He gets the starting nod between Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers. Interesting also to see Morgan Fox on the third line as adefensive end with Tanzel Smart listed as the DT2.OLBClay Matthews listed as a starter here with Dante Fowler, Jr. That relegated Samson Ebukam to the second line with Justin Lawler. EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo on the third line.ILBDespite recent reporting of a roster battle between Micah Kiser and Bryce Hager Super Bowl Dakota Allen Jersey , Kiser gets the starting nod here. Hager’s behind him with Travin Howard listed as Cory Littleton’s backup.CBThis one’s a bit of a mess without a slot position for Nickell Robey-Coleman. And look at David Long, Jr., all the way back there!SNo surprise here with Taylor Rapp on the second string behind John Johnson III and Eric Weddle. Rapp’s joined by Marqui Christian ahead of rookie Nick Scott.STOnly “surprise” here is no returner listed behind/aside Natson. With the Rams’ options from 2018 gone in DB Blake Countess and WR Pharoh Cooper, I wonder who will be back there with Natson on kick returns or who might replace him on punts if he misses time.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="s1ZPfZ">Ultimately, we’re going to get some intel in the preseason games on rotation and lines. Some of those rotational decisions won’t really flesh out until the regular season like the balance between RB Todd Gurley, Henderson and potentially RB Malcolm Brown.But for now, at least the Rams’ media department has given us a baseline heading into Saturday’s preseason opener. Offense wins championships in the new NFL.For the first time since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002 Johnny Hekker Jersey , none of the teams playing this weekend in the conference title game has a defense ranked in the top 10 in total yards. Only New England is among the top 10 in fewest points allowed.But the Chiefs, Patriots, Saints and Rams do possess the four most prolific offenses in the league. That’s the first time the four highest-scoring teams play for the conference championship during the Super Bowl era.It’s fitting one of those teams will win the Vince Lombardi Trophy because offense dominated in 2018. The 1,371 touchdowns scored were the most in a season in league history and the 11,952 points scored were the second-most ever.The two teams with the stingiest defenses reached the playoffs — Chicago and Baltimore — but lost at home in the wild-card round.“You have explosive players in the postseason, guys who are extremely talented, guys who are represented in the Pro Bowl Greg Zuerlein Jersey , the All-Pro team,” Saints coach Sean Payton said Wednesday.The success starts at quarterback with Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff leading the way. Brady’s Patriots are the only team of the four that didn’t average at least 30 points, scoring 27.3. Kansas City led the way at 35.3 with Mahomes throwing 50 touchdown passes. Los Angeles was next at 32.9 and New Orleans averaged 31.5.Elite QBs aren’t the only thing these teams have in common. The Rams, Patriots and Saints were among the top six in rushing.C.J. Anderson (123) and Todd Gurley (115) had big games as Los Angeles ran for 273 yards in a 30-22 win against Dallas in the divisional round.Sony Michel ran for 129 yards and three TDs in New England’s 41-28 victory over the Chargers last week. Brady also threw for 343 yards.Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram combined for 124 yards rushing as New Orleans held on to beat Philadelphia 20-14. Brees had 301 yards passing and two scores.“They can beat you in both ways, they can run it or they can throw it Jacob McQuaide Jersey ,” Rams coach Sean McVay said of the Saints. “That’s what really presents such a great challenge because they’ve got a Hall of Fame quarterback and they got an elite running back, and they’ve got a great system.”The Chiefs were in the middle of the pack on the ground during the season, but Damien Williams had 129 yards in a 31-13 rout over the Colts.“Andy’s an offensive coach so the offensive plays they get on special teams and the offensive plays they get on offense, when you combine all of that together, it’s a lot of firepower and a lot of explosive plays,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said of the Chiefs. “Andy’s teams are always tough, well-disciplined. They don’t make a lot of mistakes. They make you beat them and that’s hard to do because they’re sound Dominique Easley Jersey , and he gets good players and he coaches them well and they’re tough.”Other than Belichick, each team has offensive-minded coaches. Payton, Reid and McVay earned their way on that side of the ball. The 32-year-old McVay is the youngest coach to win a playoff game.Both games are rematches from thrilling, high-scoring contests in the regular season.The Patriots (12-5) beat the Chiefs (14-3) 43-40 at home in October. The Saints (14-3) defeated the Rams (14-3) 45-35 at home in November.Here’s a look inside more numbers heading into championship Sunday:THREE’S COMPANY: The Patriots are trying to join Buffalo (1990-93) and Miami (1971-73) as the third team to reach the Super Bowl three consecutive seasons.HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE: If the Saints and Chiefs win, it’ll be the 14th time since 1975 that the two top seeds meet in the Super Bowl and the fifth time in six years.
