Myles Garrett's addition to the Los Angeles Rams is expected to transform their 2026 defensive approach. His ability to create pressure and stop plays may lead the Rams to implement more dime packages with six defensive backs and lean on four-man pass rushes. New cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, along with safety Kamren Curl, further strengthen the secondary. The Rams aim to address defensive gaps that hindered them in previous seasons by reorganizing their strategy. Coaches plan to optimize Garrett's skills to enhance their effectiveness against strong offenses.
