(Beckham also went from a luxury to more of a necessity after Robert Woods tore his ACL in practice Friday.) It’s a good time for a bye week for the Rams, and not just because it will give the new players time to assimilate. But the interception that ended the first drive, on which Matthew Stafford forced a deep pass to Beckham but he and his new receiver appeared not to be on the same page, was a cautionary example of how a team can get off-kilter when trying to cobble together talented players on the fly. The Rams’ humbling loss to the 49ers on Monday night (following a humbling primetime loss to the Titans one week earlier) was a reminder that team-building is harder than “just add players.” This was the Rams’ first game with Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., and they will no doubt grow into bigger roles. It’s even harder to do it during the season.
