The phrase, by help, may sound repetitive, but that does not detract from what happens in la NFL: offenses, especially quarterbacks and receivers, sell tickets; defenses win games and kickers win championships.
If a team has emphasized this policy, especially in the two campaigns that have ended with a visit to the Super Bowl, son the Los Angeles Rams.
But in 2021, when the management adopted a strategy of putting all the money on the table to attract the best players and win the league championship now, not in future seasons, they made a fundamental hiring, the linebacker Von Miller.
Miller, the one who without major problems also fulfills defensive end responsibilities, who won the award for Super Bowl 50 Most Valuable Playerwhen he completely dominated Cam Newton, the Carolina Panthers’ quarterback, and opened the door for the Broncos to win.
For the title game, it won’t be uncommon to see Miller attacking the quarterback instead of playing linebacker and protecting the pass. The bet is that the speed of Miller allow him to get to the passer, or allow Aaron Donald, the tackle and soul of the Rams defense, to impose his strength and stop behind Joe Burrow or bother him so he doesn’t complete long passes.
Los Rams will try to force as many heads-up as possible, with Donald y Miller leading the charge, a nightmare for any offensive coordinator.
The icing on the cake for Rams fans is in the secondary. Jalen Ramsey He arrived in the middle of the 2019 season, coming from the Jaguars and from the first moment he displayed his potential: fast, agile, a lover of contact, but with a refined technique, the former Florida State Seminoles player has become the specialist in covering personal the best opposing receivers and nullify them.
The attack of los Rams it looks balanced by earth and air. But if a unit is expected to raise its hand, that’s the defense. The Miller-Donald-Ramsey triad could be the key to Los Angeles winning the biggest game of the season.
