The Rams will have to deal with the loss of Aaron Donald this season and the continued rise of defensive tackle Kobie Turner will be instrumental.
Turner enjoyed a spectacular rookie season but now he will line up without threw time Defensive Player of the Year in the retired Donald.
“It’s definitely a difficult inner battle for sure,” Turner told Jourdan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com.
“It’s going back again to the things that allowed me to be successful last year, and that is again having that growth mindset and attacking each day individually. Also, being able to have guys like coach McVay — he has pulled me aside, and we have had discussions about that too. I don’t need to be anyone else other than who I am. I don’t need to be chasing any numbers, anything like that.”
Turner was the 89th pick last season but enjoyed a solid start to life at the Rams named into the All-Rookie team of 2023.
He will have to lead from the front in his second year, but the Rams believe in his talent.
