Five St. Louis Rams Who Could Shine in Week 1

Brockers is going to have a quality opportunity to put together a great game on Sunday. He’ll spend lots of time going up against Vikings left guard Charlie Johnson, clearly the weaker of the team’s two guards with Brandon Fusco on the right side. Johnson, who gave up four sacks, eight QB hits and 23 QB hurries last season according to Pro Football Focus, should give Brockers some solid chances at getting to the quarterback. If the Rams work rookie defensive tackle into the gameplan, it could free up Brockers even more to rush the passer. Of course, the 6-foot-5, 322-pounder will also need to do what he’s historically done best and contain the Vikings’ rushing attack.
