Here is proof that Rams defense has turned the corner that you've demanded

(3) - DB Darious Williams is active once more

While the Rams secondary is still forming, the return of veteran defensive back Darious Williams to the active roster has been a boon to the entire defense. Every jigsaw puzzle needs the corner pieces to set the foundation for the image to come. Every arch needs that final keystone in place to hold the entire structure in place. Darious Williams is the keystone to the team's pass coverage.

Early results show the challenge of DWill's return from injury, and competing in a new secondary. He has allowed 76.9 percent of passes targeting his receiver to find their mark. And he has already allowed one touchdown in just 158 defensive snaps.

Darious Williams is coming off a light amount of work throughout training camp, and twice injuring his hamstring, one of the more complex injuries to recover front in an NFL season. Since secondaries rely as much on communication and coordination as offensive line units, Williams resumes his role on the Rams roster with a bit of a handicap. He is a veterans defensive leader, but he is still learning how to trust his teammates.

So far in 2024, Williams has appeared in three games, and started twice. That is hardly enough time to work out all of the bugs. And so far, his season reflects that fact.

But his presence in the secondary allows his teammates to handle their roles, and they are doing quite well. The defense generated four turnovers against the Las Vegas Raiders, allowing the team to pull a sensational victory. As long as Williams starts, his teammates will find ways to win.
