With Nacua and Kupp secondaries will be in a pick your poison situation. That is when Atwell hits them over the top. The Rams will have probably the best trio of WRs in Kupp, Nacua and Atwell, now add in Jefferson and they are genuinely 4 deep at WR and that's not factoring in Higbee and Skowronek.
This is probably the best OL Stafford has ever played behind. This offense is a Super Bowl caliber unit now. They just need the defense to come together. If Mathis can be that missing edge piece it will go a long way to filling a gaping hole.
I also want to see Shelley as their nickel DB as well. I'm not sure the Rams will be able to keep Witherspoon. His play has been as good as it's ever been. If he plays this way the rest of the year he's going to be looking at $10-$12M/yr and he will get it if not from the Rams than someone else.
When Morris said he didn't have the CBs to play man coverage before that was BS. In 2021 he had Ramsey who was then one of the premier man CBs in the NFL and an emerging Darious Williams and Rochell. His nickel was Deayon. He just never wanted to play that style as it was too risky in his mind. He would rather bank on the offense making a mistake costing them the drive. So he was conceding FGs. Which put a whole lot of pressure on the offense.
The Rams D has probably had more 3 and outs in 4 games than the previous 2 years. I said before the season if the D can be ranked in the top half of the NFL this is a playoff team. If they are ranked in the top 10 they are a Lombardi winning team. This defense has the players, again it's how they are played more than the scheme.
People don't realize that the Legion of Boom was essentially a two high zone scheme, but it was played aggressively. Staley when with the Rams played a lot of quarters but played it aggressively. With Staley, if a receiver entered the player's zone the DB needed to plaster them. That is how you play a zone.
