Rams Defense: Just Getting Started?
13 Oct
Summary
- Rams defense leads NFL in total and passing yards allowed.
- Former player sees significant room for defensive improvement.
- Buffalo boasts league's seventh-best offense in yards.
The Los Angeles Rams defense, currently leading the NFL in total yards allowed (247.5 per game) and passing yards allowed (145.5 per game), is still considered to be far from its peak performance. Former NFL cornerback Jason McCourty expressed that the unit has not yet hit its stride and has significant room for improvement as the season advances.
McCourty noted that the Rams defense has evolved since the start of the season, adopting a different scheme that involves less blitzing and man-to-man coverage. He emphasized that with players like Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, the defense is still learning and figuring out its identity.
The Rams' defensive prowess is further highlighted by their eighth-ranked scoring defense, allowing 20.8 points per game. However, they are set to face a formidable challenge in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills' offense, which averages 386.3 total yards and 31.8 points per game.
