What coverage schemes are the Rams most likely to use this season?

Coordinator changes are arguably the most impactful alterations a coaching staff can experience. Scheme adjustments and personal play calling philosophies can vary drastically, even from within the same coaching tree.

The LA Rams have changed defensive coordinators this offseason and today I’m going to attempt to explain the potential differences to you between the coverage schemes of Brandon Staley and Raheem Morris.

Current Los Angeles Chargers head coach and former LA Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley showed a tendency for using a two high shell (two safeties playing deep). From this two high shell, Staley implemented a scheme interchanging Cover 4 and the hybrid Cover 6, which the Rams used more than any other team in NFL.
