Shula has said as much but with new personnel ... there will always be tweaks
but Rams will probably stay a 3-4 team than runs plenty of 5-1
and that goes to a 4-2-5 in passing situations
Kam Curl can play dime linebacker ... so if they want the rookie safety deep, then Curl can play what John Johnson III played in 2020
saety in base and 5-1 but linebacker in some packages.
Taylor Rapp also did that ... played dime linebacker --- Ram call it "money" backer
Rams have played their CBs a certain way and if they continue it I'd supposed Williams is the FC and White the BC
Rams have played safeties left and right ... so I don't know who will do what... or if they tweak that and do what they did late in 2022 ..
but vast majority of games they have a left safety and a right one.
So, those are little things we have to wait and see ... Shule could do it a little differently than the previous two DCs.
I don't see anything to suggest any kind of base 4-3 defense for example. Shula's never coached it
if they wanted that they could have hired a 4-3 guy
I see this as a base defense
