In the preseason, the starters hardly played, and there were no reps for the starting unit as a whole. It stands to reason that (particularly given the addition of some new starters) the unit will not be 100% in synch at the start of the season. So, to counterbalance that, the Rams have been playing a fairly conservative, bend don't break, style of defense.The question is... will the Rams be able to pump up the pressure and tighten things up as starting unit comes together. by faulkrram 2 years 6 months ago Total posts: 269 Joined: Jan 13 2016 Vermeil Country Rookie Tackling, LB Play, Running Game POST #12 Agree with all points made here. The only time the D is affective is when the O is in predictable downs. Not much disquising or stunting with the Lb's. LB's are the weakest link and in the 1st 2 games missed tackles and easy completions especially on the edge are killing them so far. Missed assignments are bad. having a TE wide open 20 yds on the sideline on a 3rd down is not going to cut it against ANY team in the West. Looks like any team with a good run game will keep the defense on the field and the offense twiddling their thumbs. Time of possession will wear down the D, so they better start getting some turn overs. Just not the talent this year so hopefully the injuries are minimal. So far I'm not sold on the hype of a Super bowl team considering how many good NFL teams there are this year. But we'll see...

When we have the lead late in the game, McVay leans on them to close, cause that's when those two raise their game to superstar level. No other SB contender has two guy on defense that match AD and Ramsey. As long as they stay healthy, the defense will be just fine. ~ max ~“The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity.” - Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers 2 Reply 2 / 2 1 2 Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Sort by: AscendingDescending Jump to: Forum Rams/NFL Other Sports Rams Fans United Q&A's Board Business 14 posts Apr 19 2024
