“Earning the right to pass rush” is the mantra of just about every defensive lineman and coach. The young front of the Los Angeles Rams will have to put that into practice against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, but it won't be easy against a run game featuring quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley.
“It’s like it is any week,” Los Angeles defensive coordinator Chris Shula said. “You’re trying to get knockback at the line of scrimmage. You don’t want to create any movement. You want to obviously corral and population tackle.”
Under normal circumstances, the Rams’ two outside linebackers and three down linemen can occupy all five offensive linemen on a given rush play. But when the quarterback is a meaningful part of the run offense, one of those defenders can be accounted for without necessarily having to be blocked. “On a different week, you would expect a different look, where maybe I’ll get a single block,” Turner said. “Maybe I’ll get a base block and be one-on-one, but now that base block turns into a double team, and so it’s a harder down.”
