The Rams are going to be freaking awesome.
Chris Long is one of the best pass rushers in the entire game. They took an excellent pash rusher in the 1st round last year in Robert Quinn.
Chris Long had 13 sacks and Quinn had 5 sacks and 3 blocked punts.
They did that despite the fact that the Rams top 4 cornerbacks were on injured reserve and the fact that the Rams had a terrible run defense and were always behind in games.
Give Chris Long and Quinn a healthy secondary, a competent offense that forces teams to have to pass and score, and a run defense that isn't brutal ... and both of these guys are easily capable of 15 to 20 sacks.
There was one point last year where Chris Long had 13 sacks and the Rams entire offensive unit had only scored 12 touchdowns.
Having great young pass rushers does no one any good when the corners can't cover, the defense can't stop the run, and the offense can't score, and teams just want to grind the clock out with runs and quick passes.
