The Los Angeles Rams ended their offseason program on June 14. Here’s a look at how they fared:
Offseason goals: Continue to master second-year coach Sean McVay’s system and build chemistry among several new players in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ 3-4 scheme. McVay’s offense produced the highest-scoring team in the NFL last season, averaging 29.9 points per game, and helped lead the Rams to their first playoff appearance since 2004. Defensively, the Rams must improve a unit that allowed 339.6 yards per game and ranked 19th in total defense.
How they fared: Above average
Move I liked: The Rams’ moves to bolster their defense, trading draft picks for All-Pro cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib and acquiring All-Pro defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh in free agency.
