Los Rams ponen a prueba a Cam Ward en su primera gira de la temporada | Vista previa del partido

Luego de su emotivo triunfo de la Semana 1, los Rams viajan a Tennessee para medirse el domingo a un equipo que viene de conseguir solo 7 primeros y diez, que permitió 6 capturas de quarterback y que cometió 13 castigos en su presentación.

Los Titans (0-1), un equipo en reconstrucción, no se vieron nada bien en su primer compromiso. Pero es entonces cuando viene a la memoria el partido del año pasado en Chicago, donde los Rams cayeron ante los Bears, conducidos por el quarterback novato Caleb Williams.

De ninguna manera, los Rams, que son favoritos por 5.5 puntos, deben bajar la intensidad y acumular descuidos como en aquella ocasión ante un rival que luce más débil.

"Ellos son excelentes en todas las líneas. Esta es una defensa que tiene un estilo de juego y es un equipo duro en su totalidad. Les tenemos mucho respeto", aseveró el coach Sean McVay antes de viajar a Tennessee.

El juego programado a las 10 am (PT/CBS) en el Nissan Stadium pondrá a los Rams en contra de la primera selección del Draft de la NFL por segundo año consecutivo. Ahora se trata de Cam Ward, quien a pesar de la ruda tarde del domingo pasado en Denver (2-14 en terceras oportunidades), dio algunas muestras de su habilidad pasadora.

Ward, que tuvo 12 de 28 para 112 yardas en su debut profesional, tendrá que lidiar con una defensa de Los Ángeles que dejó a los Houston Texans en solo tres goles de campo y que presionó al quarterback la mayor parte del juego, además de provocar dos balones perdidos.

Esa defensa cada vez tiene más playmakers, pues ahora se le debe sumar a la lista el linebacker Nate Landman, quien en su primer juego con los Rams realizó la jugada más grande del partido al provocar un crucial fumble cerca del final, además de sumar 10 tacleadas, por lo cual fue nombrado el Jugador Defensivo de la Semana en la NFC.

"Este hombre es una extensión de los coaches y vino y se ganó el respeto de sus compañeros por la manera de trabajar cada día", elogió McVay a Landman. "Nos emocionamos por él de que obtuvo el Defensivo de la Semana de la NFC".

El partido en Nashville incluirá el reencuentro de los Rams con varios amigos: el receptor abierto Van Jefferson, el liniero defensivo Sebastian Joseph-Day y, por supuesto, el pateador de despejes Johnny Hekker, quien jugó sus primeros 10 años en la NFL con el jersey carnero.

El dato

0-4

El récord de Matthew Stafford en su carrera contra los Titans, uno de solo dos equipos a los que no ha podido vencer (0-3 vs. Pittsburgh).

Reporte de lesionados

A pesar de que algunos jugadores de los Rams sufrieron lesiones en el primer partido, el reporte de lesionados es alentador. Solamente el guardia Steve Avila (tobillo) y el ala cerrada link-placeholder-1 están en duda. Beaux Limmer podría iniciar como guardia en caso de que Ávila no esté listo, mientras que el novato Terrance Ferguson podría ver acción si Parkinson tiene que ausentarse.

El guardia Kevin Dotson, que no pudo completar el partido contra Houston, se recuperó del tobillo. El tackle derecho Rob Havenstein (tobillo) y el ala cerrada Davis Allen (rodilla) también se reportan listos para jugar.

Por su parte, los Titans no contarán con el tackle derecho J.C. Latham (cadera) ni con el gigantesco tackle nariz T'Vondre Sweat (tobillo), jugador de 360 libras que es uno de sus mejores hombres. Además, el corredor Kalel Mullings (tobillo) y el safety Kevin Winston Jr. (tendón de la corva) están en duda.

La frase

"Ellos tienen una defensa realmente buena. Juegan físico y juegan rápido. Hay una serie de cosas que debemos ponerles atención atrás (en el perímetro) y será un gran reto para nosotros"

Matthew Stafford

Acerca de la defensa de los Titans que limitó a Denver a 176 yardas por pase con pases 2 interceptados

Las claves

  • La protección de pase fue buena en términos generales contra la feroz defensa de Houston, pero el examen en Nashville no es para tomarse a la ligera, sobre todo por las posibles ausencias o movimientos por lesión en el interior de la línea ofensiva. La principal clave es controlar al tackle Jeffery Simmons, que siempre es peligroso y al que hay que mantener lejos de Matthew Stafford, quien el domingo rebasó las 60,000 yardas por pase. Tennessee tiene algunos jugadores de buen calibre en su defensa, pero todo empieza con Simmons, un tipo de jugadas grandes como lo mostró una vez más la semana pasada en Denver.
  • El partido marcará el retorno de Byron Young al estado de Tennessee, en donde creció. Otro juego completo del llamado "Agente Cero" no solo ayudaría mucho a Los Ángeles para tratar de ponerse con 2-0, sino que dejaría ver que los equipos rivales no pueden olvidarse de él y solo ponerle constante doble equipo a Jared Verse, quien juega en el otro extremo de la línea. "Se siente muy bien, tan solo estar cerca de casa y un lugar en donde crecí, es una gran parte de mi vida. Definitivamente estoy emocionado de regresar. Me gusta Nashville", dijo esta semana el exjugador de la Universidad de Tennessee, quien comenzó la campaña con uno de sus mejores partidos en la NFL con 9 tacleadas y 1 captura.
  • Los equipos especiales de los Rams hicieron un muy buen trabajo en la primera semana. Contra Tennessee, el estándar debe ser alto otra vez. Específicamente, los Rams deben estar muy atentos a posibles jugadas sorpresas enviadas por su conocido excoach John Fassel, quien estuvo ocho años en los Rams, y que involucren a Hekker. Tomando en cuenta que los Titans tienen un talento inferior al de los Rams, ellos podrían tratar de sorprender y tienen en Hekker al hombre para hacerlo, además de que el resto de su unidad es muy calificada.

Los antecedentes

La última vez que Rams y Titans se enfrentaron fue un partido de domingo por la noche que marcó un momento de adversidad en el camino al Super Bowl LVI, pues ese tropiezo de 28-16 en SoFi Stadium fue el principio de un mes de noviembre de solo derrotas para L.A. antes de recuperar la forma. La serie histórica favorece a los Rams 8-6, incluyendo su más reciente visita a Nashville, cuando ganaron 27-23 en 2017 para asegurar el primer título divisional del equipo en la era de Sean McVay.
