Those 8-10 yard cushions allow the QB to get the ball out in less than 2.5 seconds. Even the GOAT A.D. is going to struggle getting pressure consistently in under 2.5 seconds.
So many of the Rams DBs lack the talent and raw athletic skills to play press coverage and match receivers on a continual basis. Things like the off-coverage and moving Ramsey to multiple positions on defense are done to try and enhance the defense's effectiveness.
The Rams talent level in the front four also declined last year with the loss of Von Miller. That probably had a lot to do with Donald's decline in productivity.
