No, Rams should not play tighter coverages versus Tampa Bay

In 2020 under first-year defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, the Los Angeles Rams adopted a coverage scheme that plays from depth - using two high shells to reign in chunk yardage plays and forcing opposing offenses to be patient. It’s a sound approach, and one that has slowed down even the most high-flying offenses in football this season. Raheem Morris, who himself is receiving head coaching interviews one year after Staley left for the Chargers, has built on these coverages schemes and added his own wrinkles - such as an increased amount of blitzes.
