I really wouldn't use their chiefs defense as an example her lol. They got carved to pieces for being agressive. You're arguing against your own logic here. You complain about soft coverage giving up chunks of yards and then you compliment the chiefs defense that gave up explosive plays all night long.
But I'm glad to hear you say that you can win with different coverages because, as I (and your friend Jim lol) have said before ... :
1. Your personnel matters. The Rams need better personnel (evidenced by the "ultra soft coverage" winning us a Superbowl just two years ago).
2. Pass rush matters. Jalen hurts was basically unbothered by the defensive line most of the game and that's why the secondary got lit up. A problem we also faced.
I'm not really complaining about our soft zone giving up "chunks" of yards RR. My complaint is "mostly" that our Shell allows too many FREE completions. Especially against teams like the whiners who excel at getting the ball out early.
Another complaint is that it pretty much neuters the pass rush due to the quick passing opportunities that it allows.
As for the Chiefs giving up "explosive plays"...yes, they did. I do know that playing tighter increases the chances of giving up some big plays. I never denied that.
Again, my issue is that we play that Ultra Soft Zone too much, There are times we need to be aggressive and there are times we need to play coverage. Morris played more Charmin Shell than any other team in the NFL. It's a fact.
Yes, we did win with it. I get that. I just give more credit to the 3 HOF'ers on the D than I do the "scheme".
As for my "friend", I don't think we are allowed to play together anymore.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
