## Resource

The Rams’ shocking 27-7 loss to the 49ers sparked debate—not just over the score, but how they’re using their new defensive backs. Veteran Richard Sherman criticized their heavy zone scheme, arguing it stifles the aggressive, physical style of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. He likened it to putting a Corvette in an Uber—overkill for the job. While the duo held up individually, giving up minimal yardage, the bigger question looms: should the Rams tweak their playbook to fit the talent—or force the talent into an old system? Their defensive future hinges on finding that balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
