Rams LB Alec Ogletree & DE Robert Quinn, 2015
In his first season as Rams defensive coordinator, Williams lost Ogletree to a broken fibula after Week 12. It was a big blow to the Rams defense considering Ogletree led the team with 230 tackles in the previous two seasons.
The Rams, who went 2-2 with Ogletree, finished the season 5-7. They actually gave up fewer points without Ogletree than with him, but their run defense suffered greatly without their star linebacker. The Rams allowed 131.5 rushing yards over the final 12 games of the season without Ogletree. Williams had also lost defensive end Robert Quinn for eight games that year, who had a combined 30 sacks in the previous two seasons.
