Is Staley a better DC? Yeah. I wish the Rams still had him. But a few things I'd point out.
Last year through 4 games the Rams were giving up 5.0 YPC and 124 rushing yards/game. As others have said before, the Rams 2020 defense wasn't quite the Rams 2020 defense yet through 4 games.
I initially thought that this was the more fair way to look at this situation but the problem is, Morris inherited a defense that was already playing at a high level. He just had to maintain what was already in place. Staley had to fix Phillips' D that had not been performing well.
