Watson's skillset enables Rams' shift to man coverage from zone-heavy approach

Jaylen Watson is a new defensive acquisition bringing a complementary skillset that enables the Rams to shift from zone-heavy to man-heavy coverage. Watson is a more favorable match against bigger targets, and his skillset pairs well with Trent McDuffie (who performs better against smaller, shiftier slot types) to support a move toward more man coverage. This represents a departure from LA's historical reliance on zone coverage as a talent equalizer.
