We try to attack and we try to get after you. And with that it makes a team that much faster when they're attacking. You can be fast and not attacking. But we attack, we come after people. On an artificial surface like the one they play on at home and the one at the Georgia Dome, the Rams speed is accelerated.
Players can stop, cut back and change direction quickly because of the sure footing.
It's one of the reasons Rams wide receivers rack up so many yards after the catch. Az-Zahir Hakim who has scored eight times this year. All of a sudden we're bobbing and weaving in the end zone. Head coach Dick Vermeil attributes his team s success to the type of pass plays his Rams use plus of course, there s that speed thing. We average over eight yards per pass attempt which is outstanding.
