We definitely need that corner who can erase a top threat. And if he gets that, Shula will be a very nasty DC matchup. He has just the right mix of aggression.

This defense couldn't be doing what it's doing lately if we didn't have a legit CB.

Did you see Witherspoon today?

Have you seen Whiterspoon since he was a RAM wearing #23 ?

Funny nobody comes up with the stat with both #23’s record when either or both played together?

I just know between the 2 Whiterspoon & K. Williams have only lost a few games together.

Last season Williams was hurt when The Rams were lossing.This year it took awhile to resign him over that (chit) T’White who got BURNED almost every game he started .

I’ll keep saying The Rams F’d up by not resigning both Alaric Jackson and K.Whiterspoon to multi-year contracts. Still can’t believe no one else signed him after last season as well. He sort of was a little soft against St.Brown in the playoff game,but that dude is a stud.His hands (grasp) is impressive.
 
Anyways the tackle on Jefferson when he dove & made that great ankle tackle going under a blocker.

The Verse TD strip .

The one on one’s with Jefferson on at least 2 balls he shut him down.

Whiterspoon has been THE BIGGEST difference since the bye week.The Rams won’t have made the playoffs if T’ White was still playing for The Rams instead for sure.

BTW - I’ve said from the beginning how good Shula has been as a DC.
-Plus Whiterspoon!!

Sounding like a broken record,but it is what it is. We’ll see what happens next.

What was his injury that took him out of the game ? Josh Wallace was another of Les Sneads steals UDRFA from Michigan.

Whiterspoon had 41 solo tackles 9 assists,14 PD,3 Int’s last season.

To think he was drafted and played with the 9ers for his 4years,then played 2 years at Pittsburgh.He was a BIG SURPRISE last season taking over for Jalen Ramsey & imo was actually more consistent.Jalen Ramsey was GREAT as a Ram.it was hard filthis shoes. Kelo did it well.

I'm sure this has been said but it is truly amazing what this defense has done. Rams did not put money on this side of the ball. The gameplan was for the offense to carry the team.

But it was the defense that led the way down the stretch. It was incredible to watch. They will only get better.

They blitzed less than average. But was (obviously) effective when they did.

Big uptick in cover 1 and cover 2. Kudos to Shula for being dynamic.

You look at both sides of the ball in the trenches.I’d say The Rams are built for the next 2 seasons contract wise.
—The thing I’ll continue to say is The Rams F’d UP !! If they trade core players for DIRT on there final year of there contract(lame duck),then The Players that EARN there keep should get PAID !!

What kind of Scouting from the COACHES?? I love the coaching staff.Les Sneads teams,but it’s shocking that Alaric Jackson & K.Whiterspoon didn’t get Multi-Year contracts!!! They’ve been THE CORE at CB & LT !!

We’ll see how Forbes does I guess,then who plays LT ???
I mean it would’ve been nice to have had both under contract at a good salary number imo.

Limmer is a stud.I don’t trust Noteboom anymore and that was an issue.
Mcvay liked T’ White ,but still could’ve brought back Whiterspoon!! How much CREDIT does that Veteran Player deserve on how he has always kept ready & made plays for The Rams !!

K.Whiterspoon is my MVP for The Rams !! Seeing T’ White get BURNED & then holding PI in the EndZone was as BAD as it gets.Without Whiterspoon & keeping T’White as the starting CB the rams go .500 at best.
