The Rams defense had a rough start to the season, and the biggest shocker was Miles Garrett's performance. He was supposed to be a game changer, but he didn't record a single stat, no sacks, no tackles, nothing. It was a complete banishing act from a player who's usually dominant. This lack of production is especially concerning because Garrett was dealing with a minor leg injury and had to travel a long way to play. He's also new to the defense, so he hasn't had much time to gel with his teammates during training camp. Still, everyone expected more from the reigning defensive player of the year. The fact that Aaron Donald, who hasn't even played yet, matched Garrett's stat line of zero is pretty telling. It highlights how poorly the defense performed overall. Other players like Byron Young also struggle to make an impact, and Tyler Davis had a costly penalty. Donald's return is definitely something to watch.

1:00He's been holding out, seemingly waiting until he feels completely ready to go. If he can come back and significantly boost the defensive line, it could be the spark the Rams need. Garrett's week one performance is a major talking point, especially with Donald's Phantom stat line hanging over it. We'll have to see if Garrett can bounce back in week two and prove that his week one showing was just a fluke.
