The LA Rams shopping list for defense has changed in 2020. Now with the team’s defense led by defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, the team’s interest in players has shifted. The team has moved away from “excellent at what he does” type of players to “very good at multiple roles” type of players. Will that prove to be a major mistake, or are the Rams turning the corner on revitalizing their defense for the 2020 season?
The crux of the entire matter is the shift from a WYSIWYG defense to a Prestidigitation defense. In the WYSIWYG or “what you see is what you get” version, the LA Rams lined up on defense and tried to outplay offenses on sheer toughness and athleticism.
