Don’t rush to judge defense. Rams need to stop playing from behind

No need to worry. The Rams’ pass rush is coming together, and it will be the overwhelming force it was anticipated to be when the team added Von Miller to a front that included Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd.

That, at least, is what Miller expects as the Rams prepare to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars at SoFi Stadium.

The Rams have lost three games in a row, including a 36-28 defeat to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. The Rams, coming off an open date, sacked Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers only once.

“We wanted to come in and have a sack party the first game we got back,” Miller said Wednesday. “You know, it doesn’t happen like that. It’s pro sports.

“But I still got all the money on the Rams, all the money on this Rams rush. I’m really excited to see what we do in the future, and we’ve got six games left.”

Floyd has a team-best 7½ sacks, Donald six. Miller collected 4½ sacks in seven games for the Denver Broncos this season, but he has none in two games with the Rams.

In each of the last three games, the Rams have fallen behind early because of turnovers by quarterback Matthew Stafford.

The Rams trailed the Tennessee Titans 10-0 in the first quarter. The San Francisco 49ers got out to a 14-0 lead. And the Rams fell behind the Packers 10-0.

Playing from behind adversely affects the pass rush, Rams coach Sean McVay said.

“We’re not doing a good enough job of controlling the tempo of the game and getting leads where you can really unleash your pass rush,” McVay said. “When you get people into they’re playing from behind, they become one-dimensional — unfortunately like we’ve had to become in these last few games.”

The Rams already had a star-studded team before they acquired Miller on the eve of the NFL trade deadline, and then signed receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

But the two…
