Aaron Donald will be playing for his third defensive coordinator in three years with Raheem Morris taking over, and he’s “pumped up” about it https://t.co/GD8kJeAX4S

February 11, 2021 at 9:39 am #127733znModeratorfrom Top 3 needs for all 32 NFL teams: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-haritz-top-3-needs-for-all-32-nfl-teams-ahead-of-the-2021-season
LOS ANGELES RAMS
Team Needs: Secondary, offensive line, edgeThere’s a solid argument to be made that Jalen Ramsey is the single-best CB in the league. The team’s willingness to move him all over the field makes the lack of a high-end partner in crime less of an issue than it might be for a different high-end corner, but either way there needs to be an effort made to at least try and retain free agent CBs Troy Hill and Darious Williams as well as S John Johnson.
Edge defender Leonard Floyd will need to be replaced in some way, shape or form. Like with Ramsey in the secondary, the Rams are always going to be a bit thin across the defensive line due to having so much money wrapped up in all-world talent Aaron Donald. Again, like with Ramsey, Donald’s ability to dominate and move all over the line of scrimmage makes this less of a need than it would be on another team.
The Rams have improved the offensive line from within in recent seasons, but at some point they’ll need to consider investing legit resources to the group. Overall, 2015 marks the last time the team used a top-two round pick on the position. The good news is that having Matthew Stafford under center should help with the rather large drop off in performance when Jared Goff would experience pressure. The early returns from Cam Akers have certainly been promising.

February 11, 2021 at 2:06 pm #127742znModeratorThe Rams biggest draft mistake is apparently not having a first rounder for seven years. They mention not having first rounders to replace Leonard Floyd, John Johnson and Troy Hill, three players that the Rams did not use a first rounder to obtain in the first place https://t.co/3pwscjbm9C

“Saw Aaron Donald today, who is probably the greatest player in the world. So that was awesome to see.”Joe DeCamillis [Rams new STs coach] was clearly excited to run into AD today lol
Stu Jackson@StuJRams
New Rams special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis said he’s already spoken to P Johnny Hekker, LS Jake McQuaide and K Matt Gay.Stu Jackson@StuJRams
Part of Joe DeCamillis’ answer on special teams philosophy/foundational principles:“We’ve got to get a great returner. We’ve got to get a guy that can ring the bell and drop the ball over the goal line.
For those jumping to conclusions about what that means for last year’s PR/KR Nsimba Webster, DeCamillis later said they’re still evaluating the return game, adding that an effective return game starts with great blocking.

Raheem Morris and his thoughts on the team and defense as a whole: “This is a fundamentally developed team. They did a great job of developing these guys fundamentally. Some they went out and bought like a Jalen Ramsey. He’s a fundamentally sound absolute yes dog competitor.”Raheem Morris on the coaching staff: “It’s no secret that the Rams coaching staff has just been rated the way it has been because of the things they’ve been able to do here and it starts with our leadership.”
Raheem Morris on Aaron Donald (1/2): “Aaron Donald is so much fun to watch. He’s just a disrupter. He’s a finisher. He’s the guy that just gets things going and leads by example. You can just see it in the field. Nothing he does on the field is shocking.”
“I’m amazed at some of the things he’s able to do. You want to get him aligned up & find ways to get him 1 on 1. He’s done such a great job getting his teammates 1 on 1 to set up the guys around him that you don’t want to take away that part of his strength either.”
Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
while one could say “3-4 base” in application to Morris’ defense, because they will be multiple and in subpackages at a higher percentage, it would not be accurate to confine them into a “base” per seLindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
New Rams DC Raheem Morris says their defensive coaching vacancies have been filled, and indicates internal promotions, but declines to give names until the team officially announces.Am told team is still working through terms agreements on this point –
Stu Jackson@StuJRams
I asked Raheem Morris about his plans for Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.“Don’t mess them up. Let’s let those guys get going.”
Morris pointed out Ramsey and Donald’s versatility, and wanting to continue to capitalize on that.

Stan KwanThat’s probably because Sean McVay is SUCH a jerk that he even has an impact on divisional coaching staffs.
