So, the LA Rams took a pretty rough L against the San Francisco 49ers, losing 27 to 7. The defense, which was supposed to be stacked, especially with Miles Garrett on board, just couldn't get it done. They gave up almost 400 yards and Brock Purdy, the 49ers quarterback, wasn't even sacked once. That's a tough look when you're the favorite and brought back guys like Aaron Donald. Now, the defensive coordinator for the Rams is Chris Shula. He took over from Rahim Morris, who actually used to be the Rams DC. Shula's been in the role for a few seasons, and this year, with Garrett joining the squad, expectations were sky high. But Garrett, who broke sack records last year, had zero impact in this game, neutralized by the 49ers game plan. Former player Dan Arlowski went off on Shula after the game. He basically said that Garrett was completely shut down by the 49ers offense, and Shula, the defensive coordinator,

Or, Losski pointed out that this isn't just a one-off. Over the last four games, including this one against the 49ers, the Rams have given up an average of 26 and a half points. They're sitting at two wins and two losses in that stretch, which isn't what you'd expect from a team with so much talent on defense. They've got the New York Giants up next, and everyone's wondering if Aaron Donald will even play. If he does, it might shake things up, but right now, the defense is definitely under a microscope.
