Over the past three years, the defense that Brandon Staley started with the Los Angeles Rams caught fire. In a copy-cat league, it only makes sense that the scheme designed by a coordinator who had worked under Vic Fangio and led the NFL’s number one defense in his first year, would be replicated by other teams.
That’s exactly what happened.
While Staley left the Rams to become to head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, Sean McVay liked what he saw so much that he had Raheem Morris run the same scheme once he took over the Rams defense.
