Poona and land was best offseason aquisition.... Adams helps but I think we score without Adams...we don't stop Gibbs, Taylor, Barkley, CMC without Poona and Landman.

Gibbs longest run 6 yards..... 2.9 yard average incredible

I agree with this in spades.

Also, we picked up a new TE named Colby Parkinson -because this version was not here until about 5 games ago. Just WoW

Such a huge difference when Pooh is on the field vs whe he isnt.

One of the reasons Carolina ran so well vs the Rams was bc Pooh was on a limited snap count due to injury. When Pooh was on the field vs Carolina did next to nothing on the ground.

I made a similar post in a different thread. I agree. Shutting down their running game was key. Because no team is shutting them down completely. The Rams did exactly what they needed to do.

Exactly. They made the right choice. Shut down Gibbs. Impressive.

The year we won the SB we had D'Shawn Robinson and a great run defence as well.. He was particularly impressive in the playoffs.

Feels similar this year.

totally agree, the run defense was lights out, especially against the coach like Dan Campbell you have to have stops for no gain or TFLs. Because he's going for fourth and two, so while 3 1/2 yards on a play is not an offensive victory you can bleed out a defense that's what Carolina did to us, but this game we had a lot of stops for no game or zero game or negative yards
