Jared Verse and Braden Fiske, drafted in the first and second rounds respectively, excelled as a formidable defensive duo in their rookie season. Verse, named NFL defensive rookie of the year, and Fiske, a finalist for the award, have focused on enhancing their teamwork for their second season. While Verse's offseason included analyzing his performance to identify missed opportunities, coach Chris Shula emphasizes a results-oriented approach, steering players away from solely focusing on statistics, pushing for team-oriented play as the Rams build towards a Super Bowl contention.
"I think we did good, but we became more focused on helping the team than doing our own little thing... This year is going to be a good one for us to play together."
"The biggest thing I realized was how many sacks - and not just sacks but big plays - that I missed out on... This really is a game of inches."
