The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for the 2024 season with significant changes and new challenges. On defense, the team has transitioned from league average to below average in terms of EPA/play and DVOA metrics. Raheem Morris has been replaced by Chris Shula as defensive coordinator. The departure of Hall of Fame defensive tackle Aaron Donald marks a substantial change, leaving the defensive front young and raw. How will this group come together without Donald's leadership and presence? The secondary has also seen major changes. The Rams struggled against the pass last season, leading to the departures of Jordan Fuller, Akhilo Witherspoon, and John Johnson. In response, they've signed Darius Williams for the cornerback room but remain thin behind him. At safety, they brought in Kamren Curl and drafted Kamren Kitchens. As we approach Week 1, what will the Rams' secondary look like? Who will secure the remaining cornerback and safety spots, and can the team feel confident with their current group? Offensively, the emergence of Puka Nacua was a revelation in 2023, earning him the title of draft steal. With Cooper Kupp now 31 years old, there's speculation about the distribution of targets between Kupp and Nacua. Will we see a balanced split, or is Nacua poised to take over as the primary receiver? The offensive line remains a strength, with four out of five linemen returning for 2024. The Rams extended guard Kevin Dotson and signed former Lions guard Jonah Jackson, emphasizing the importance of their offensive line, particularly in the run game. Kyren Williams had a stellar season behind this line, but the addition of third-round draft pick Blake Corum raises questions for fantasy football enthusiasts. If Williams is fully healthy, will he maintain the lead role, or will Corum make an impact right from the start? The Rams were one of the biggest overachievers in 2023, defying preseason market expectations. As we head into 2024, Sean McVay and his team are receiving much more respect. What are the realistic expectations for the Rams this season? Can they continue to defy odds and build on last year's success? 🟢 Subscribe to the main Hammer HQ YouTube channel for more sports betting content from our network: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHammerHQ 🟢 Make sure to subscribe to the Forward Progress YouTube channel for more NFL betting content and drop a like/rate five stars if you enjoyed Looking for the ultimate source of football news, analysis, and commentary?
