Defense
Let’s start with the safety group, where Jordan Fuller and Russ Yeast started the game and played every snap. Fuller was always expected to be the top safety as a team captain, but the biggest surprise was that John Johnson III didn’t play a single snap. Not one. He did play 10 special teams snaps so it’s not as if he was hurt. Quentin Lake was the third safety, playing nine snaps in the win.
At cornerback, Cobie Durant was perceived to be CB1, but in his “star” role, he came off the field for 11 of the 51 defensive snaps. Derion Kendrick and Ahkello Witherspoon both led the cornerback group with 47 snaps played. Rookie Tre Tomlinson only played four snaps as the fourth cornerback.
The split at outside linebacker was about what we expected. Michael Hoecht and Byron Young were the starters and primary edge rushers, while Zach VanValkenburg rotated in on 11 snaps as the third option. Nick Hampton played just one snap as the fourth edge rusher on the depth chart.
Aaron Donald led the defensive line with an 82% snap share, and it was Kobie Turner who played the second-most snaps up front (57%). Jonah Williams and Bobby Brown III played 20 and 19 snaps, respectively. Larrell Murchison and Earnest Brown IV didn’t play much.
Ernest Jones was on the field for all 51 snaps as the defensive signal caller, and he was flanked by Christian Rozeboom, who played 34 snaps. The Rams didn’t deploy a third linebacker in the game.
