Losses can be demoralizing to a football team, but All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald is doing the best he can to keep the Los Angeles Rams’ spirits high amid their early-season struggles. As their schedule wears on, Los Angeles will need to improve several aspects of its approach in the coming weeks and should have a leg up on its preparation with the benefit of Donald’s leadership.
He spoke to the media on Thursday and told reporters that the Rams’ recent skid is not a cause for major concern to him personally, but that he recognizes the effect it might have on the younger defensive talent on the team. Donald seemed determined to ensure that the losses don’t take their toll on the team’s morale, and made it clear that he is taking it upon himself to keep everybody engaged while Los Angeles makes moves to get back above .500.
