Defending the Rams is like defending the Warriors in the NBA -- they stretch you out and they require tons of athleticism to keep up. You can't play a 7 foot behemoth against the Warriors, they will just torch you.
By the same token, a 260 lbs linebacker or whatever he is is useless.
O'Daniel needs to do better on his assignments but other than that he should show improvement and gives us some athleticism across the middle that we need in those dime and quarter packages.
Late in the game, the Chiefs were playing dime or quarters with O'Daniel and Sorensen as their LBs. It was perfect for shutting down Gurley in the passing game.
Unfortunately a lack of Berry just absolutely kills us against tight ends. Goff threw a combined 112 yards and 2 TDs to his TEs.
