ooper Kupp on Super Bowl LIII Sunday. He looked frazzled with pressure coming through the inside and he took some bad sacks. He only had one turnover Dominique Easley Jersey , so it wasn’t a disaster, but it wasn’t impressive. Running BacksNo matter how much smoke was being blown at the media by the Rams front office and coach Sean McVay. RB Todd Gurley II wasn’t right and it was clear by all the touches C.J. Anderson got. Regardless who was running the ball were stymied by the Patriots defense.Tight EndsWe needed TE Tyler Higbee and TE Gerald Everett and they didn’t show up.Wide ReceiversWR Brandin Cooks led the way with 120 yards and WR Robert Woods and WR Josh Reynolds were productive as well, even though there were some unfortunate drops. The guys couldn’t get open enough, but I feel that’s more about the play calling. Offensive LineThe offensive line got pushed around a bit were out-schemed by the Patriots. The run game never got in rhythmand Jared Goff was sacked 4 times for 31 yards. And that C John Sullivan penalty left a mark. Defensive LIneDT Aaron Donald and company kept QB Tom Brady from going off by making him very uncomfortable. Michael Brockers was very active in the game, as well, getting himself 5 solo tackles. While the run game wasn’t shut down, they did an admirable job against an excellent New England offense. LinebackersHot damn Troy Hill Jersey , ILB Cory Littleton was a beacon of light and ILB Mark Barron was pretty good too! And OLB Dante Fowler Jr. was very active and disruptive. I really like this kid — hope the Rams find a way for him to stay with the team.Defensive BacksOverall, these guys were on point. CB Marcus Peters had some nice tackles and some pretty legit stops. All of the guys stepped up and did their thing.Special TeamsGood punts, but you gotta make that field goal. CoachingWhile Wade Phillips had a great game with his defense, Sean McVay’s chess match with Bill Belichick did not go over well. His play calling was ineffective and the way McVay handled the Gurley injury/non-injury seems ill-advised. This was a performance that McVay and his coaches will study and agonize over all winter and spring. And summer. And all next season. Moves could be made, though they also present an inherent risk."The more days that pass in the NFL free agency period, the more quality players that sign to different franchises. The Los Angeles Rams haven’t exactly been active as their only signing was veteran FS Eric Weddle, and that was completed before the legal tampering period even began. The Rams were allowed to do this because Weddle was released by the Baltimore Ravens.The Rams are clearly limited Michael Brockers Jersey , that much is clear. According to Over The Cap, the Rams currently only possess $8.7m in cap space, and $5-6m of that will need to be set aside for the 2019 NFL Draft.So how are they not capitalizing?Well, the NFL has loopholes that can be risky if not used properly, but also present a major advantage for teams looking to win immediately: the ability to restructure contracts. Essentially what that means is you’re taking the cap hit from a player this year, turning it into a signing bonus, and spreading that cap hit throughout the remaining years of the players contract. It creates immediate relief in cap space Ethan Westbrooks Jersey , though it obviously adds a specific amount every year the rest of the way. Danny Heifetz of the Ringer did a great job breaking down the possibility of restructuring contracts, here’s a tidbit from the piece:As you can see, there’s an actual benefit to the player as well: he receives his money up-front as opposed to waiting for it by way of installments throughout the year.Per Over The Cap, the Rams have two major restructure candidates: DT Aaron Donald and WR Brandin Cooks. The Rams could save $6.7m in cap space by restructuring Donald’s contract, and $7.7m in cap space by restructuring Cooks’ contract.So what gives?Shouldn’t a team looking to capitalize on a Super Bowl window that’s currently open be taking advantage of loopholes like this? The Philadelphia Eagles — who are in a very similar situation as the Rams — have already restructured contracts such as RT Lane Johnson. They also re-did deals on LT Jason Peters, LG Isaac Seumalo, and C Jason Kelce. Moves like these allowed them to trade for WR DeSean Jackson John Sullivan Jersey , sign DT Malik Jackson, and re-sign DE Brandon Graham, even though they entered the off-season with only $2m in cap space.The Rams should surely look into re-structuring Donald’s deal because the hits added for the remainder of his contract would barely equate to $1.34m. Donald is as safe as a player gets in the league, so you can expect him to remain on the team throughout the duration of his contract. Even the Chicago Bears restructured DE Khalil Mack’s contract a few days ago for cap relief. The difference in the cap savings of $7m could be the difference in adding a key contributor like OLB Justin Houston or ILB Zach Brown.For a team looking to return to a Super Bowl, the time to take risks is now. The Rams should explore all options at improving, and deal with the potential repercussions down the line.
