"It may not be as many different packages as Fritz Shurmur employed back in the day but it is close."
DBs cover a lot of ground. You can see why they like a lot of them on the field. It is difficult to pass against the light boxes. The Rams seem to be trying to take away the pass game. It was effective against the Bears: "The Rams pass defense held the Bears to 219 yards passing on 40 attempts (5.48 yards per attempt) and a defensive passer rating of 74.6 and picked off one pass and defensed six others."
The article was good because it did not seem possible to catch all of the formations while watching the game.
Jalen Ramsey as an inside linebacker when the Rams play a traditional Nickel is interesting. So it must have been Rochell and D Williams as the outside CBs and Long at the slot CB.
6 DBs with Rapp at LB and Scott at safety makes sense.
Fuller in the slot is a surprise.
