Ever since Brandon Staley took over the Rams defense in 2020, Los Angeles has been a zone-heavy team. Staley brought over the Vic Fangio system, which traditionally uses a lot of Cover 6 – a blend of Cover 4 and Cover 2.
Raheem Morris kept that scheme in place when he was hired in 2021, though he did tweak some aspects of the Rams’ defense in the last two seasons. But one thing remains: The Rams utilize a ton of zone coverage and hardly any man concepts.
