At least according to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL Media and CBS Sports’ Will Brinson.

3) Los Angeles Rams

Key players: Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, Michael Brockers, Samson Ebukam, Matt Longacre, Dominique Easley, Ethan Westbrooks.

“Teams shouldn't even try to run on the Rams when Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh,
and Michael Brockers are on the field together. That should make the opposition one-dimensional, allowing defensive coordinator Wade Phillips to cook up pressures and get the ball into the hands of his equally talented secondary.

There's no question that the Rams' top edge rushers -- Samson Ebukam and Matt Longacre -- are dangerously unproven. That keeps the group from topping this list, but the pass rushers should be able to roam free, with all the beef up front attracting double teams. The system will carry them.

Donald is the best overall lineman in football and Suh will be playing right next to him in full mercenary mode. Brockers is coming off a career season under Phillips. These three might not each pile up double-digit sacks, but they should lead the league in knocking offensive linemen to the ground, creating chaos in the pocket and generally terrifying quarterbacks.

It's rare to see an all-time defender like Donald paired with an all-time coordinator like Phillips, each flanked by one of the most talented supporting casts in football. This group may only last a year together, so enjoy it while you can.”

I clicked on the link to read, but there wasn't much there. I will listen later.

I can't imagine another team's defensive line ranked higher than ours, unless it's a ranking that is "trying to be different".

The Rams line is insane.

Jacksonville was #1, Philly was #2. Hard to argue when you add in edge rushers.

Von Miller Was Samson Ebukam the year before he became Von Miller. Von Who?

Not saying Samson will be that good, but my prediction is people will know Samson by the end of October.

Von Miller was always Von Miller. Had a bunch of sacks as a rookie.

Yeah. His mom just called me to confirm that.

I’m changing my example. :whistle:

London Fletcher was Samson Ebukam before he was London Fletcher. Honest. I checked with the lady in County Records. :)
