Scout's Notebook: Grading The Defense Against The Rams; Rico's Development

[waving monkey]

OXNARD, Calif. – I spent my off day with the tape of the Rams game, and I came away with some pretty strong impressions.

Here are my primary notes from the game:

Read

The defensive line did a much better job of winning off the snap in this game than they did against the Cardinals. Taco Charlton, Damontre’ Moore, Lewis Neal and Lenny Jones all had plays where their upfield ability put these Rams blockers in poor positions. Charlton had his most consistent game when it came to using his technique – arm-over and rip while on the move worked well against veteran Andrew Whitworth and later Pace Murphy.

Both the MLB and Heath went to the RB to cover him on that play. Heath was lined up wider than the LB and Kupp was to the inside. I don't know the assignments but someone blew the coverage. I'm not positive it was Heath. He could have been the curl/flat assignment. he was lined up for it.
