The defense actually did something they haven’t done in a long, long time. They disguised fronts, coverages, blitzed from all sets in all situations, and confused the QB and the coach. We all know the Rams get to the line quickly and McVay calls the plays, blocking, and tells Goff what to do, snapping the ball before communication cuts off. By finally disguising defensive fronts, we confused the QB and the coach because we haven’t done that throughout Marinelli and Richard’s tenures.
whether Richard came up with that or was told to do it by Garrett, I don’t care. But coaching had a huge impact on our defense.
