With the Rams’ star lineman double- and triple-teamed, the defensive line has recorded only seven sacks and looks to change that against Cowboys QB Cooper Rush
THOUSAND OAKS — Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald joked with a reporter last week that his pass-rush moves are limited because he has little room to operate with multiple defenders blocking him on nearly every play.
Donald’s point, however, still stands. He rarely gets one-on-one matchups, but his defensive line teammates often do and the Rams’ defense hasn’t taken advantage of the Donald effect through four games this season. “Our pass rush just in general has to pick up,” Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said. “It was a big topic for us this week, something that we’ve got to get going, particularly our four-man rush. All those things are what make us great. When those things get rolling and those things happen, our pass rushers get home, they cause disruption, they tip balls, they make the things happen that make defense easy. We need more opportunities like that.
“There’s going to be a couple plays when they’re going to have to hold the ball and we got to find a way to get him down, affect him some way, somehow,” Donald said about defending Rush. “It’s not always me. A lot of other good football players out there that need to win their one-on-ones. If they want to find ways to focus on one guy, that’s the opportunity for other guys to be the playmakers.”
Generating takeaways was also high on the Rams’ priority list this week because they haven’t recorded a takeaway in back-to-back games. They nearly got one when rookie cornerback Derion Kendrick jumped a route against wide receiver Deebo Samuel that led to a 57-yard touchdown for the 49ers. Morris said he wants to see Kendrick take more similar chances.
