So much consternation for a Defensive Coordinator
And facts are facts and results are results and since
twice now, people have brought up the teams in
the Championship games--here they are compared
to the Rams since Morris took over incl playoffs

Morris has a ring. Soon either Spags or Gannon will.

So, of this years final 4 and including the Rams-total of 5
teams-

Rams better run defense than Eagles and Chiefs
Rams better def yards per carry than the Eagles and Chiefs and Bengals
Rams allowed fewer rushing TDs than than Eagles and Chiefs and Bengals
Rams more sacks per game than than Eagles and Chiefs and Bengals
Rams allowed fewer yards per game than Chiefs and Bengals
Rams allowed fewer passing yards per game than the Chiefs and Bengals
Rams fewer passing TDs per game than all of them
Rams are in last place of the five in INTs per game - only category they are last.
Rams lower defense passer rating than all of them
Rams allowed fewer points a game than the Chiefs (same as Eagles when defensive scores factored in)
Rams had more turnovers per game than the Eagles
Rams had the lowest opponent third-down percentage allowed of all of them (8th in NFL, Ravens #1)
Rams had the a lower fourth-down percentage allowed than the Chiefs

Rams defense is not as good as 49ers or Eagles the past couple of years---but it is not worse than
the Eagles or Bengals.

It's this--some people don't like how it looks and have become obsessed with the DC and anything said about
him triggers them to post negative things. Never anything fair. Never challenging the data. Just personal
objections and nasty characterizations and the kind of humor and ridicule that buttresses those nasty characterizations.

Not joyful humor, but the kind like this

First, much respect for you. I appreciate you putting this together.

From my point of view, there were many quarters, and the stats prove it, where this defense showed up across the field. I work with stats and probabilities all day long and respect the numbers.

But we all know there were games that we needed the defense to show up at the end of the game, and it couldn't be trusted. The numbers support much, but they sure don't instill the trust factor. And we have weak areas that we know teams attack successfully. Sometimes we've countered, usually we couldn't.

I know what my brain tells me, but I see with my eyes.
