It took awestruck JJ Watt to perfectly capture Rams' Myles Garrett mindset

Les Snead has cut some of the league's largest checks in his time as the Los Angeles Rams' general manager. He understands that for players who jeopardize their health and future on every play, the team needs to show courage and take risks as well.

And he continues to deliver on that front, culminating in two blockbuster trades that have fortified an already dominant Rams roster. JJ Watt, a former three-time Defensive Player of the Year, is absolutely awestruck by L.A.'s aggressive acquisition of two-time winner Myles Garrett:

"They're never satisfied and they're going all-in all the time."

Watt is not alone. Players and analysts alike were wowed by the Rams' relentless pursuit of top-tier talent - whatever the cost. The results of Snead's chase this offseason: Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson and Garrett. Hopefully, that proves enough to get the Horns over the hump for another Super Bowl win.

Rams have cracked the code to extended success

Snead does not tinker with his personnel to sell merchandise or tickets. Over years of trial and error, he has discovered a successful formula: build a successful cast of characters to win consistently, then push the roster to new heights by carefully adding on one or two superstars who fit the team's culture.

While no teammate or fan is celebrating the fact that edge rusher Jared Verse was shipped off to Cleveland to seal the trade for Garrett, everyone recognizes it as the cost of doing business. Verse does, at least, get to return to his home state of Ohio.

One challenge Garrett will face in L.A. is adapting his techniques to match the strategy of defensive coordinator Chris Shula, as well as his teammates' skill sets. There will be plenty of give and take there, with the Rams crafting schemes to maximize Garrett destructive impact, but he'll have to do his part.

In the end, whatever hiccups or learning curves might present themselves along the way, it's difficult to envision anything but a highly successful partnership.

For his part, Watt harbors no loyalty to the Rams. En route to racking up 114.5 sacks of his own, he starred for ten seasons with the Houston Texans before finishing off his career with a two-year stint in Arizona. No ex-player organizational bias there.

Fans have every reason to celebrate the Garrett's wrecking-ball potential in this Rams defense. For anyone seeking reassurance that Snead's latest all-in addition will work out, trust Watt. He knows what success takes in the NFL, and it takes everything you've got.

As always, thanks for reading.
