Fearsomefour with a few pertinent general observations…

Here’s fearsomefour…

The safety play has been disappointing.
The outside pass rush has been non existent.
The Rams have seemed to have had communication issues on the back end of the D for years. The best time frame recently was when Weddle was back there keeping guys in line.
The continual communication issues in coverage is really frustrating, but, likely to continue. Especially with young DBs playing.
All that said, Morris is left in a tough spot.
As another poster mentioned above, playing tighter coverage means exposing the deep safety more. Putting more pressure on a position that has not been playing well is tough.
Also, playing softer is good with a pass rush. With a pass rush and lead its great. But, with no pass rush to speak of those dink and dunk teams....SF, Tampa Bay, Seattle....they will just take field in 10 yard chunks. Add in bad tackling (safeties were not good vs SF) and it is ugly. So, play press and expose the safety play....not helped by lack of rush. Play soft and hope the back end can tackle....again, not helped by no pass rush.
There are plenty of issues. I think the biggest is lack of pass rush.
The Rams also have to capitalize where there are opportunities for turnovers.
The Rams forced 3 fumbles vs the Whiners and came up with none. Ramsey dropped two pics. There were five possible turnovers and the Rams ended up with none. You can't get them all but you have to get at least a couple of those. Some of that is just luck. Some is not making a play, like Ramseys dropped pic.
Kendricks had a bad game as well and got an ear full of Ramsey on the sideline.
From a team we can't stop to a HOF QB we've had good luck beating recently. One thing for sure, against a HOF pocket passer, Morris can't just sit in off coverage or they will just control the ball all game.
