The Los Angeles Rams defensive unit bounced back in a major way on Monday Night Football, holding the New York Giants to just six points and limiting them to a 43.8% completion percentage. While defensive coordinator Chris Shula's group delivered a much-needed confidence boost following past postseason struggles, deeper statistical metrics reveal significant areas of concern for the Rams as they prepare to face a deep Denver Broncos squad in Week 3. The primary area of concern lies in special teams, where the Rams currently rank dead last in the NFL with a abysmal -15.7% special teams DVOA (Defensive Adjusted Value Over Average). Critical mistakes—including return errors by Xavier Smith, missed short-range field goals from Harrison Mevis, and poor ranking across kickoff and punt coverage units—continue to plague the third phase of the game. Join host Josh Elijah on Rams Hit as we dissect Chris Shula’s defensive scheme, break down the troubling special teams metrics, and discuss whether roster changes are needed ahead of Sunday night!
