    Ranking all 32 secondaries

    https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-ranking-all-32-nfl-secondaries-this-season/

    22. Los Angeles Rams

    Top overall grade: S Maurice Alexander, 83.4 (No. 19)

    Top coverage grade: S Maurice Alexander, 84.5 (No. 9)

    Top run-defense grade: S Maurice Alexander, 73.3 (No. 56)

    Most snaps: S T.J. McDonald, 1,072

    Los Angeles’ secondary is a difficult unit to gauge. Among the Rams’ four players with at least 699 snaps, their lowest-graded player in coverage was Lamarcus Joyner, at 78.3. But beyond those four, five of their other six defensive backs to see significant playing time graded under 45.0 in coverage. Troy Hill and E.J. Gaines allowed passer ratings over 130.0, recording the second- and fourth-highest passer ratings allowed among all NFL cornerbacks, respectively. The group as a whole was also tied for the league-lead for missed tackles by defensive backs, with 65. Los Angeles certainly has some pieces to work with, but needs to improve its starting base corner and depth.

    I think we need to find good man-to-man CBs.

    EJ Gaines was rated as the 15th CB in his rookie year. He was also a rookie of the year. So, maybe next year he is healthy and that helps.
