Re: About the Rams's D

I'm not sure the Rams have the right guys for Phillip's 3-4 D.

I don't think they have Ends that play the run well enough.

I don't they have ILB's that are stout enough against the inside run.

And I don't think Quinn is suited for being an OLB. He seems lost if he doesn't line up right at the LOS.

These guys were hired to play in GW's 4-3 blitzing defense.

I admit that perhaps the Rams D simply has to play more games to get their assignments and techniques right as McVay alluded to. I'm not so sure about that. I mean, what else can he say? He can't say "we don't have the guys we need in some spots".

But this talk during preseason that there were few differences between the 4-3 and 3-4 so the Rams ought to be able to transition quickly are not proving to be the case.


I mean, if the two D's are essentially the same, why change at all?
