This offseason has been more about departures than arrivals for the Los Angeles Rams, with Von Miller being their biggest loss so far. After it looked like he’d be heading back to the Rams, he opted to sign a six-year, $120 million deal with the Bills.
That wasn’t an indication of the Rams not making their pass rush a priority. They still very much want to ensure they have the talent in place to get after the quarterback, whether it’s by promoting from within, signing a free agent, acquiring someone via trade or adding help in the draft.
“Realistically, you lose Von Miller, it’s hard to say, OK, there’s another human being like Von Miller on the planet. There’s one of him, he’ll go to the Hall of Fame because of it,” Snead said this week. “But with that being said, since 2017, we’ve been a team that consistently ranks near the top in sacks and pressures and things like that. It’s just come in different ways with different people. I think when you lose a player like Von, still want to pressure the QB, might have to do it in different ways with different people and we’ve had to do that since 2017 and definitely want to continue doing that because we believe fundamentally, we believe that’s one of the better ways to frustrate a quarterback over the course of a game.”
