Since we are playing the Rams this week, I noticed that there run defense on week one was abysmal. I mean it was hard to believe they even knew what run defense looked like as a real NFL team.
This got me thinking that letting both Long and Laurinaitis go this last off season may have led to weakening their run defense. Both were not great pass rushers at this point, but seemed to still be more than capable run defenders. Perhaps the Rams miss-played their hand making these cuts and are regretting it as we speak.
All I know is that if that Ram run defense shows up Sunday against us we are going to rush for 150-200 yards without any problems.
We shall see.......
