Did Wyche actually TALK to any of the Rams' coaches during his week there?
I'm thinking no. Sounds to me like he left there with the same knowledge he arrived with. None.
This whole idea that the defense got declawed with the losses of JL, Long, JJ and McLeod is just coming from an ignorance of the program that's been built here the last 4 years. There are talented, young, hungry guys already on the roster who've contributed positively here and there, and will now have a chance to compete for a full time spot.
EJ Gaines, Mo Alexander, Lamarcus Joyner, Marcus Roberson, Cody Davis....they all know the defense.
Outsiders still look at Benny Cunningham's avg/rush and figure he doesn't make an impact.
IMO the biggest area of concern that the "outsiders" are correct about is the question marks in terms of viable weapons in the passing game and also how quickly Goff will be able to come in and start and play well enough to win games.
