Arlo: reminds me of their defensive issues last season - what's changed that has him so optimistic now?
Cipher Talon: never understood why the NFC West gets so much hype when their defenses are a joke. seems like they're putting all their faith in youth. still rooting for Phanatik #61
Lars: McVay is really selling those linebackers, isn't he though
Noahsol: I'm surprised McVay is so optimistic about them considering the questions surrounding their depth chart
Ariakwan: McVay thinks high on those guys - Landman and Speights need to back it up in the season
Vera: landman and speights are solid, but i'd love to see them prove themselves against a top offence like the chiefs
Quiet Jackal: landman and speights are a lot deeper than anyone gives them credit for, but how do you guys really see them panning out this season?
Umbra Falcon: McVay's got the faith in his D, let's see if it pays off this season though
Diegokwan: Finally someone who thinks tackling is more than just arm-flailing around the opponent - McVay seems like he actually watches football
Aidenbrar: McVay must be planning something big with that inside defense lineup, no way he's just feeling good about it
Umbra Signal: Landman's been solid but let's not forget he was picked up off waivers like three weeks ago
Amir: landers are looking a bit rough this season but idk if interior linebackers are the answer
Zero Oracle: seems like this confidence is unwarranted given their performance last season...how many takeaways did those guys have again?
Elias: McVay sounds like he's drinking his own Kool-Aid on these linebackers
Adam: it seems like they've really taken a chance on those guys
Fractal Signal: speaks for itself he was just fine last season
Meyerivy: nate landman was quietly solid last season
Freya: I'm still waiting for them to address the outside linebacking corps
Talia: speights has to improve his tackling, can't rely on athleticism alone
Fractal Sable: I'm surprised he's singling them out like this, especially after the preseason
Milan: thought speights played more last year? sean seems like he really values speed at the position
Novamendez: McVay's optimism aside, the Rams' LBs have struggled against top-tier opponents last season
Nova: not sure what all the hubbub is about - I mean Speights was a decent add in free agency but lead them in tackles against teams that don't really challenge LA?
Null Specter: still don't get why they're so high on Landman
Diego: McVay sounds too good to be true on defense – how's the team tackling overall?
Ruby: McVay says 'really good' about their ILBs, but we'll see how that translates on the field. He better not be relying solely on Omar Speights
