Is Rams’ offense more fragile than defense?
In a turn from last season, Rams seem to have a deeper bench on defense

(Eric Thayer / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) The Los Angeles Rams spent the 2026 offseason reinventing its defense.
LA has done a complete 180 and taken their secondary from a point of weakness to a formidable strength. Out are Cobie Durant and Ahkello Witherspoon; in are Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. After their well-intentioned maneuvers over the last few months, are the Rams now deeper on defense than their usual strength of offense?
We know Los Angeles has Super Bowl hopes and are attempting to maximize the remainder of Matthew Stafford’s career. While the top 11 players form one of the best offenses in football, under the surface the Rams may lack key depth. Can they really depend on a quarterback in his late thirties to stay healthy for the entire season and play his best football into the playoffs?
Will LA regret not making a notable investment in a third receiver? And will they come to regret the lack of depth along the offensive line? Quarterback The Rams did not draft Ty Simpson to keep the boat afloat if Stafford misses a few weeks.
