NegativeRoleJul 9, 2026
Trent McDuffie is a key defensive acquisition enabling the Rams' shift from zone-heavy to man-heavy coverage. McDuffie performs better against smaller, shiftier slot types, and his complementary skillset with Jaylen Watson (who is more favorable against bigger targets) lends itself toward more man coverage. However, the source identifies a complication: McDuffie is a better slot corner than perimeter player, yet the Rams only have two strong outside corners (Watson and McDuffie). If McDuffie moves into the slot to maximize his investment, Emmanuel Forbes moves from reserve to fringe starter. The source questions whether the Rams want to see more of Forbes in 2026 or if an alternative will arrive.
