If energy is not an issue, then the question becomes, what happens to this defense when it encounters its first level of adversity?
Whether that be in the form of a preseason or regular season game or an injury to an expected contributor, how do these young Rams weather the storm? Who steps up to provide some level of comfort when eyes go wide or coverages get broken?
Jones has the most responsibility fall onto shoulders just by the nature of his position. As middle linebacker, he receives play calls from defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and relays them to his teammates.Jones has lofty ambitions for this season, stating that he wants to make himself into “a household name”. But he’s also staying active during his rest periods at practice, calling out encouragement and dapping teammates up during specials team drills.
The position requires that he move around to either side of the field, and he will try to take what Ramsey taught him about communicating to help his teammates settle in prior to the snap. But Hoecht, the old man of that unit entering his fourth year, says the group has seen that as an opportunity. But Morris tries to keep his unit insulated from such press, and he is trying to simplify the verbiage of his defense to allow younger players to thrive. But as a challenge, it’s one that Morris is embracing.
