Coty Sensabaugh

In Coty Sensabaugh‘s defense–it’s never easy to guard a wide receiver with the size and athleticism of Dez Bryant.

Still, there was plenty of hype surrounding Sensabaugh’s debut with the Rams and it led to nothing but disappointment after the cornerback struggled against Bryant–who finished the game with two catches for 28 yards with one touchdown. With a more favorable matchup against the wide receiving corps of the Chiefs, Sensabaugh will have a better opportunity to make a name for himself as the starting No. 2 cornerback alongside Trumaine Johnson.

Los Angeles has high expectations in 2016 for Sensabaugh after starting 15 games games for the Tennessee Titans last year and let’s hope his performance against Kansas City is smoother than it was against Dallas. Otherwise, Sensabaugh will just be hurting his chances of earning a starting job in the Rams’ defense and give the upper hand to E.J. Gaines.
