I am really excited to watch Morris as DC this year.
I hated his work for the vast majority of last season, to the point that I was eventually in the group wanting him gone. I was more understanding at the start of the year, due to taking on new players, a new system, etc. But well into the season, and even in some key games down the stretch, it seemed to me like the Rams' defence was still severely under-performing.
But come the playoffs, Morris seemingly turned it around, and the D was rock solid. He clearly made some great adjustments at half-time in the Super Bowl as well, as the d-line feasted in the 2nd half, which realistically won the Rams' the game, as the offence became crippled by injury.
I am curious to see if the turnaround of the defence in the playoffs was just catching lightning in a bottle, or if the light bulb went off for Morris. Perhaps it was a bit of both.
I am a bit concerned that perhaps Morris was just the benefactor of a world-beating front 7 with Donald, Miller, Floyd, Gaines, an A-Shawn Robinson playing the best football of his career, and company, together with a total lock-down corner in Ramsey. Time will tell. It should be fun to watch play out.
