Aaron Donald's Retirement Leaves a Gaping Hole in the Rams Defense

and King I think Aaron Donald's loss is going to be felt by the night you could you could hear it in mcf's tone when he was asking Les need to trade up for Byron Murphy see you're gonna get him at 16 like if you go listen to that's that's what I heard with McVey that was the voice I heard he's like Les Les the Seahawks are going to get him at 16 Les is like will you quit freaking out man we don't do Panic stuff we don't have Donald Man game over man game over man it's game over why you just her charge it's a little bit like that so uh they I think they can sense it a little bit that that's going to be a bit of a different defense when you don't have that game wrecking force of the last decade to utilize in your back pocket but just one of those two teams goes that's a little bit of a slingshot for me that's us using the the gravitational force of a Niner Ram failing to shoot ourselves Sur one of their moons and fire us back to contending State I think the Rams losing Donald is their downfall they don't have a defensive tackle that requires three dudes to block now you can make the argument that there's been no defense that's going to be as changed and is having to kind of reinvent itself almost from scratch as much as the Rams will have to with the loss of Donald because so much of their defensive Concepts have had over a decade to be baked within to get the most out of him and to get him in the spot to allow him to really truly be as as dangerous dogged and undetermined as he possibly could be and now that goes away and they do have some guys they brought in there but Aaron Donald the Braden fist this is the reason why and you guys saw it it's on the video from Sean McVey this is why he wanted Byron Murphy so much I think that that's part of him making such the heavy play there to lesne was the hey this is a this is going to be an issue for us this is no small thing this is no Braden Fisk Band-Aid will will suture this wound only a suture will suture the wound and his name is Byron Murphy but lesne is in a super patient mode he's obviously you know start to get older you go from being in in his 30s to F those picks to I I kind of like those picks I suppose it happens to a man when you had six straight drafts without a first round pick
