I posted on September 9 that I thought this unit could be top 10 by the end of the year. It probably was even better! They surpassed my expectations. Particularly Verse. I didn't think a DE that relies almost exclusively on his power would translate this well, this fast to the NFL level. But somehow he can bully even HOF tackles as a rookie. We are 1 good corner and LB'er away from being maybe the best defense in the NFL IMO. Crazy to think. I expect run discipline to improve with experience (and better LB play).

Did The Rams mess up not having Ernest Jones ? Speights come on & played well.IMO he is depth.Rosenboom looked like he got exposed?
Still upset they didn’t address the mlb position better & then just trade EJ 53 away ?
He played hard & can’t take away the Geowth of the Defense.

Rozeboom will surprise us.
