Rashid Shaheed likely to target Rams' defensive weakness this season
Summary

Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is set to exploit the Los Angeles Rams' struggles defending underneath passes. The Rams, now restructured under defensive coordinator Chris Shula, have added key players but still face issues in this area, which has been detrimental against teams like the 49ers. Shaheed, praised for his speed and versatility, is expected to take on a larger role in the Seahawks' offense under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. Reports indicate that Shaheed will feature prominently in short-to-intermediate routes, increasing his impact this season.
