The Rams have added linebacker Clay Matthews. Most assume that he’ll be playing outside linebacker exclusively. That apparently won’t be the case.鈥淓arly in my career Paul Hornung Jersey , I was predominately an edge rusher and have had success doing that,” Matthews said at his introductory press conference. “Then you saw, kind of in the middle of my career, switching to the inside because of necessity or whatever the reason was for. I thought I excelled at both positions. I thought when you allow me to play in space and you allow me to go play sideline-to-sideline and downhill, good things are going to happen. I expect it to be the same here. I expect my position to be fluid. I鈥檒l have a variety of roles. I think the most important thing . . . is just pressing the quarterback, making him make bad decisions and keeping the heat and keeping the pressure on him.”Matthews had 23.5 sacks in his first two seasons. Last year Bart Starr Jersey , he had a career-low 3.5. Can Matthews can get back to the form of his younger days?鈥淎bsolutely,” Matthews said. “I know I have the ability to produce like I鈥檝e done before. Not to make excuses, but there was some change last year in the Packers organization and unfortunately, it didn鈥檛 work out for me. As far as moving forward, I know I鈥檓 a difference maker. I know I can change games and I look forward to doing that and proving that and showing to everybody here — you guys, the fans — that what you saw for these past 10 years is what you鈥檒l get for the next two.鈥滻f that happens Ray Nitschke Jersey , the Rams could be every bit as good in 2019 as they were in 2018. Maybe even better. The Green Bay Packers have never seen a point spread like this since Aaron Rodgers took over as the team’s starting quarterback. With Green Bay sitting at 3-2-1 and facing a road game at the 7-0 Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon, Las Vegas sportsbooks have set the opening line at 8.5 points for the upcoming game.Although it’s a bit shocking to see such a line with Rodgers healthy (at least relatively speaking), it’s understandable. Los Angeles has been held under 33 points just once all season — in a 23-20 victory at Denver in week six. They also have an average margin of victory of 15 points and sit in the top four in the NFL in both points scored and allowed. To make matters worse, they have been held under 400 yards of offense just twice all season.Adding to the danger for the Packers is running back Todd Gurley, one of the early candidates for league MVP. Gurley leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 956, and he has 14 touchdowns — five more than the next-closest player in the league. He’s also doing that while averaging 4.8 yards per rush and 10.8 yards per reception Dave Robinson Jersey , a dangerous combination given the Packers’ 28th-place ranking against the run in DVOA after six weeks. They do rank 12th against running backs in the passing game, but if Gurley can get moving on the ground there would be little need for him to contribute heavily as a receiver.Interestingly, the Rams’ defense can also be taken advantage of on the ground, as they ranked just 26th in DVOA against the run following week six. That ranking seems unlikely to change much after allowing just over 100 yards rushing to the 49ers on Sunday afternoon in a 39-10 victory. Look for a heavy dose of the ground game early for the Packers to try to keep some pressure off Aaron Rodgers, particularly from defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who leads the team with eight sacks.For now Reggie White Jersey , the Packers can simply try to keep their heads down and prepare for the game with little expectations. This is a game that practically everyone across the league has assumed would be a Rams victory anyway, so maybe playing with a bit of a chip on their shoulder will be what the Packers need on Sunday.
