The Los Angeles Rams have endured an endless number of injuries this season, allowing some of the younger players to get more opportunities. On the defensive side of the ball, Bobby Wagner revealed that it’s been exciting to see some of the young guys get more snaps amid all of the injuries along the defensive line.
“They’re just stepping up. They’ve got some big shoes to fill. Obviously one of them is a shoe you can’t fill (in DT Aaron Donald), but they’re coming in, they’re making plays, they’re doing what they’re supposed to do, having energy, they’re playing in the back field and playing fast,” Wagner said. “That’s really all you can ask for. You don’t want to go out there and think and overthink, because the game is not complicated at the end of the day. You find the person that has that, whatever color the ball is brown, whatever you want to look at. They’re going out there, they’re making plays, they’re knowing and understanding the defense. As they progress and as they play, they’re understanding what the teams are trying to do to them from different schemes and different run scheme perspectives. It’s been fun.”
