For the first time in three years, the Los Angeles Rams will have a new defensive coordinator. With Raheem Morris leaving to become the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, the Rams needed a new play-caller on the defensive side of the ball. Following a thorough process, head coach Sean McVay landed on an internal hire in Chris Shula.
Much like the Brandon Staley hire, Shula brings some uncertainty. However, even in Staley’s case it was pretty clear what the plan was and the type of defense that the Rams were going to run as he had a background under Vic Fangio.
