We've just had to face some offensive powerhouses thus far. I'd love to absolutely shut the rams down.

Yeah... giving up 906 yards in two straight weeks to any team(s) doesn't bring us close to being a top 10 defense. Statistically we should be at the bottom (or close) but given the quality of opponents, we're probably middle of the pack. I think this game against the Rams is going to reveal a lot of things about the legitimacy of this defense.
