Dear Les Snead, please slow down so I can catch my breath and sleep at night

Normally when a NFL team makes the playoffs, but come up just shy of winning the Super Bowl, the offseason is about finding those pieces of the jigsaw puzzle do finish the job.

Well, not for Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead.

Rams fans knew going into 2017 that with Wade Phillips as the defensive coordinator, the team was going to have to adjust from a 4-3 which they had drafted there defense around into the 3-4. The 3-4 depends heavily on cornerbacks playing man-to-man coverage, while the 4-3 under from Defensive Coordinator Greg Williams, who is now with the Cleveland Browns, played a lot of zone coverage and was known for its exotic blitz packages.
