They're starting to look like a tight 3-4 defense.
All that talent is coming to the forefront.

The pressure on the QB increased throughout the game.

Backfield looking better as the game went along.

They really tightened up in the run game.

The last two weeks compared to the first few weeks has just been night and day. Ever since the second half of the Dallas game they have been rather impressive.

Yeah, the big story over the past 3 weeks has been the D. I was hoping it was them just growing more comfortable in the system

When is Brockers contract up ?

Brockers has always been a pretty good DT , under rated even

but it seems like he's really found a home in Wade Phillips defense

can the Rams afford to keep bot Brockers and Donald ?

Brockers is signed through 2019. Two more years after this then he's a UFA.

Some nice games Turned in from Olgeltree and Quinn. Good sign. Those two were struggling in the new defense.

The D isn't even finished coming online....and they're holding good teams to 11pts per over the last 3.

Denver was good when Wade got there, but after a couple of drafts and off-seasons? They're still a juggernaut. My friend who's a Denver fan is beside himself.

As we all know...not having a QB...SUCKS.

Here’s the interesting thing about our D, at least to me.

We have exactly one All Pro on our D, right? Aaron Donald. That’s it.

And yet, our D is playing like a top 5 unit these last 3 1/2 games. At least scoring wise. We are on track for the fewest points allowed by a Ram D since ‘01, per Ramswire.

Somehow, some way, Wade Phillips always makes his D greater than the sum of it’s parts. Needless to say, this bodes very well for our prospects in these next 9 games.

Take a bow, Wade! You is da Man!

That's what I'm thinking for this team as a whole. Going through a coaching change is tough.. new systems on both sides of the ball, old vets mixing in with rookies plus guys the new staff brought in. I'm excited to see where this team can go with a competent coaching staff with a full off season (and a first round pick) under their belt.

Too bad we'll be picking 32nd... :D

IIRC, Ogletree was second-team All-Pro last year. This year, I think Brockers and Truuu will join him in the Pro Browl.

I was a little worried earlier in the season. Getting some key players back and also a few players maybe finally starting to understand the defense has them playing great now!
