There’s no way I was alone in not recognizing some of the names being called during Saturday’s preseason contest between the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers—especially when the Rams’ defense was on the field.
The Rams have underwent a significant youth movement on defense. Gone are household names in Jalen Ramsey, Bobby Wagner, Leonard Floyd, and others. Instead, against the Chargers, players like Tanner Ingle and Taron Vincent were making plays. This is the new normal for Los Angeles—though it’s nice to start learning about who the team should be this year and what they are capable of.
