2 things that I’m gonna be watching Sunday

How does DeCamillis’ coverage units look?

Morris’ D. Is he getting away from that disgusting soft zone crap?

How Morris evolves as a DC with this talented roster will determine whether we have an early playoff exit or advance to the SB (assuming that DeCamillis also gets his act together). It’s really that important of an issue

Morris' soft zone is not as bad as you make it out to be 7 games into his first season as the Rams new DC.


Second, I’ve seen how good this Rams D with essentially the same personnel can be and Morris’ version is a distant second, Morris gas made a couple of needed changes recently but I’m hoping to see these continue. Our upcoming playoff success depends on it.

I am not sure Morris' defense is essentially the same. We saw Staley's defense with exactly the same personnel but with a limited AD look like a pale imitation of how it looked earlier in the year. Morris has lost Johnson, Brockers, and Hill completely off the roster and replaced them with players none of which I would say are improvements. In the end it's about the players. Despite this boards view of Staley's brilliance how is his defense doing this year? Alright but not game changing. Some might think any competent DC can have a #1 D with AD and Jalen, but this year shows that last year's defense was special but much more than just Staley, AD and JR, there were a lot of valuable pieces on it.
