Myles Garrett missed some time at Rams training camp due to lower body soreness, but he’s been back on the field in recent days and it sounds like he’s in fine form.
Defensive lineman Braden Fiske will be lining up on the same front as Garrett and it has not taken long for him to come to the conclusion that the two-time defensive player of the year moves differently than most players. Fiske said the key for the team is now to integrate Garrett into a group that also includes Kobie Turner and Byron Young.
“Not all men are created equal, that’s for sure,” Fiske said, via the team’s website. “He’s a baller, no doubt. He’s getting a slide, there’s no doubt about that. Trying to work off him or vice versa, communicating. The biggest thing right now is working on our communication of how to rush together, how we’re going to attack certain looks. As all four, the certain looks that we’re going to get when he’s on the field, preparing for that and doing our best to work off each other. It’s been good so far though. I think we’re making strides.”
The defensive front could welcome another big piece in the near future. Aaron Donald is expected to make a decision on coming back soon and the Rams will have to do a little more recalibrating for another player who would fit Fiske’s feelings about the equality of defensive linemen.
