    It really seemed to my friend and me, watching from row MM, that the defense was almost deliberately being handicapped. It’s one thing to mostly stay in base defense and not use much in the way of blitzes, trickery, etc. But the Rams D just stayed STOCK STILL. There was no motion, no checking into other alignments in response to O-shifts. Just, “see if you can stop them from this formation” test, again and again.

    Fisher was doing something. Maybe testing the secondary, maybe something else. But that WAS NOT the style of defense they will field for the regular games. It just wasn’t. And no Laurinaitis, I think that’s a factor. He’s a pretty good field general for the defense, didn’t see anyone really filling that role for the Rams this game.

    Doesn’t excuse missed tackles when guys had the chance, but it does explain some of the giant holes.
