Also the year to year

Yes. And that is why it's odd to see people saying 2023 is Morris's best year when it's the worst in most ways (see red text)
but because Rams played CBs closer to LOS they like it better.

Results never mattered to anti-Morris people. It was only how it looked that bothered them and when they expressed their
disdain it was personal ... not "I don't like it" or "It's not as good as I want" but "Morris is a retard" or "Morris is stupid" or his "scheme is stupid". There are all sorts of other exaggerations and distortions and lies, even.

But agree ... 2023 was the worst overall and that includes 2022 when the defense dropped from a playoff-level defense to one that as not nearly good enough.

But it is truly odd when the closeness of the CBs is more important to results.
