they can play 4 yards or on the line.
Rams do play press on the Cover-2 side of Cover-6
You can see that when they play "Zeus" which
they don't do often but that is playing Cover-2
to the side of the best receiver, and match
quarters on the other.
So, Rams could play Zeus more often. it is essentially
doubling the star receiver. rams did it a lot vs Metcalf
in 2020. Not as much in 2021. They did it on Chase
in the Super Bowl, but it's still zone, it is not press man
it is press zone, they bail at the snap
What people want is a varied defensive scheme
like the 49ers play.
Or like the Ravens, that blitz a lot. They
rush 6 guys a lot and cover with 5.
THEY run an aggressive defense and sometimes
shut down a team.
But they sometimes give up a lot of points.(6 games
of 35 or more points last year)
Gave up 42 to the Browns in 2020
But they stop the run by committing seven guys to
it, sometimes 8, Rams use 6 when they are
in the 5-1, if a team, like the 49ers bring in
a FB or extra TE, they will go to a 3-4
Anyway, the Ravens have had a top defense
for a long time, until last 2 years...
I loved their defense...but, it's not what we do
