The LA Rams DB configuration may provide an opening for Darious Williams to grab a starting role

The LA Rams defense will not be simply lining up in a base 3-4 defense and running against whatever the offense designs to throw at them. Instead, the defense will use a four-man defensive front at a time. Other times it will be a nickel package with five defensive backs. And through it all, the LA Rams will be sliding defensive backs into unusual places, with unexpected responsibilities, and at odd alignments. It will all be part of the coaching philosophy of new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.
