Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith reminded readers, officially, the Rams did not have a defensive coordinator last season: Gregg Williams was hired as defensive coordinator but then banned from the NFL for his role in the Saints’ bounty program, and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher didn’t fill the coordinator position. Fisher gave many of the defensive coordinator responsibilities to Williams’ son, linebackers coach Blake Williams, but Fisher fired Williams after the season. Now there is a defensive coordinator in Ryan, who has never worked with Fisher before but does have similar defensive philosophies: Fisher is a disciple of Rob’s father, Buddy Ryan, having played for him with the Bears and later coached under him with the Eagles.
