Yep. NFL defenses are more and more about not giving up big plays, lotta zone. And by all accounts McVay buys into this so i think there's a good chance we're going to continue to see it from the Rams...

Yeah, 22-12 with Morris' defensive scheme (including a Lombardi and a 'surprise visit' to the postseason), in seasons when the offense wasn't totally devastated by injury. Not too shabby.
