Defensive Line
Grade: B+
The Rams have arguably the most talented group of defensive linemen in the NFL. You have Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers up front.
Good luck to opposing offensive lines blocking this group of monsters.
This group started slow, with just two sacks in the first two weeks. After Week 3, they were 28th in the league in sacks.
That shouldn’t be the case with this group. Most people knew it was a matter of time before they started to get to the QB.
In Weeks 3 and 4. they combined for five sacks, with Donald getting two of them. Just cause they weren’t getting sacks, doesn’t mean they weren’t being productive.
They were still creating tons of pressure on opposing QBs, making it impossible to get into a rhythm.
In Week 4, they really showcased their dominance. Donald makes it look way too easy, getting a couple of sacks late in the game to secure the win.
Here is one of them.

Donald is one of the most explosive players I’ve ever watched.
This group has started slow, netting them a B+ grade. That will likely change when it’s all said and done this season.
