Time to embrace the LA Rams’ perfect imperfections

Diagnosing problems is 90 percent of the correction
Perhaps the LA Rams 2020 NFL Draft class will not yield nine starters? But the team has a likelihood of several starters. Perhaps the LA Rams linebacking corps will be young and experienced? The team will count on a deceptive scheme, a devastating defensive line, and a swarming defensive backfield.
Perhaps the team’s offensive line will not rank among the top-five in the NFL. But scheming two tight ends, reworking when the team passes and runs, and a healthy line in 2020 should make enough of a difference. The team may not boast the highest-ranking special teams’ play in the NFL this season, but the team will most certainly improve over 2019.
Not much has been said about the Rams offseason urgency. This LA Rams team is not just punching the time clock for another day at the office. Head coach Sean McVay is working to improve the team tirelessly and has added the type of coaching staff to join him in doing so.
The LA Rams are flawed in some ways as the team enters the 2020 NFL season. That’s why the team hired three new coordinators, made tough roster decisions, and added specific players. As much as fans are aware of the issues, the team is also just as aware and has been working hard all off-season to address each area.
