1. Overall depth. We're not going to be able to deal as well as the better rosters do when we get injuries to starters. Some positions are better than others of course but overall this is where the bottom of the roster being UDFAs and whatnot will hurt you.

2. Run defense. We did not replace the 1T presences we lost. Brown maybe can replace one of those two. Maybe. It's gonna hurt vs the best ground games.

3. Pass rush. For this defense to have a good pass rush requires multiple "If's" to come through. Possible certainly. But questionable.

4. Secondary. Quite a few unknowns in the secondary headed by Fuller's health status, who if anyone can hold it down next to him, and who is the third corner. I have this one lowest because I think we'll have two good corners and maybe good safeties which means we'll be ok back there if the rush is good.

It's going to take a lot of "if's" for us to be competitive this year.

I do think we start out ok but as teams learn how to play against our "new kids" their weaknesses will be exposed and taken advantage of as the season goes on.

IMO, we need to keep things fluid on defense. Mix things up. Rotate players. Change the scheme more often.

We will need to keep teams "guessing" what we will do not let them know it pre-snap like last year.

#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
