Rams don’t lack depth at cornerback
It’s almost as if the Rams knew what they were doing when they traded away Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib mid-season. They have excellent depth at cornerback with Jalen Ramsey, Troy Hill, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Darious Williams and David Long Jr. Williams and Long were the starters outside on Sunday, while Robey-Coleman assumed his role inside.
Williams picked off one pass and broke up another on a deep pass over the middle, showing off his ball skills and coverage technique. There’s still a lot to be decided with the 2020 roster, but Williams made a strong case against the Cardinals – and in the last two games, really.
Long should be part of the secondary in 2020 regardless because of his draft pedigree and potential, being a lockdown corner at Michigan previously. With Ramsey and Hill returning next year, the Rams have plenty of options in the secondary.
