Maybe not.
When the Rams are in their 11 personnel with Higs, Kupp, Robinson, and either Skow or Harris the defense is most likely in their nickle. With that alignment you'd think Skow or Harris would be blocking a CB or S.
But take that 3rd WR out and put in Hopkins and the D probably goes back to their base defense - out with that CB/S and in with a LB (and probably a LB who is pretty good at run defense).
Can Skow or Harris block a DB better than Hopkins can block that LB? I think probably ... with the added advantage that the Rams can also run all their favorite pass plays out of that 11 personnel.
