With another challenging matchup quickly approaching, the Los Angeles Rams are in dire need of an effective game plan against the Dallas Cowboys to get back above the .500 mark on the season. Their defense has been particularly susceptible to collapse so far this year, allowing 24 points last week to the San Francisco 49ers, so improvement on that side of the ball will be critical for their hopes of playoff contention in January.
All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald knows what his unit needs to do to get back in form, though, and told reporters on Thursday how the defensive line can make their presence felt, even if their opponent game plans to get the ball out of the quarterback’s hands quickly against them. He said that it all comes down to effort, particularly in the moments leading up to the passing attempt.
