LA Rams should be prepared for more cover zero defenses this season

(ALLEN EYESTONE / THE PALM BEACH POST)

The LA Rams have struggled against cover zero defenses, so the team should plan to see much more of it

The Miami Dolphins did something before the LA Rams got to their bye week that few teams have been able to do on a regular basis. The Dolphin ran a cover zero defense (a.k.a. a zero blitz) so well that the Rams offense did not have a way to counter punch out of it. To the Rams, it was a surprising turn of events. To Rams quarterback Jared Goff, it was a very long afternoon, marked by utter futility.
