It appears that the 2018 edition of the Arizona Cardinals might not be the best measuring stick to see where the Los Angeles Rams stand. Still, for the Rams, who mostly opted-out of the preseason, it was nice to see things rounding into form.
So far so good.
Here are a few observations from Sunday’s game:
The linebacker-crisis many feared entering the season, may be a non-issue.
They’ve been fine. More so than last season, tackling has been pretty good. It’s apparent the defensive line and secondary have freed up the linebackers to make plays, and the linebackers have obliged, and actually looked fast and capable while doing so.
