The Los Angeles Rams defensive unit has been a pleasant surprise. Raheem Morris, defensive coordinator for LA, absolutely deserves credit. While speaking with some media members recently, Morris says that “we underestimated” the potential of this young group of players. Morris continues to be in head coaching conversations, and the performance of this season’s defense could make his departure all the more likely.
Has Morris’s defenses been as turnover hungry as when Wade Phillps had Marcus Peters and Aquib Talib? Has Morris’s unit finished number one overall in key defensive categories like when Brandon Staley led the group?
