Special teams coverage represents the backbone of football and requires an elite level of physical and mental effort from players.

“That type of effort only comes from the soul of an absolute dog. Elijah Clark is everything that is great with football, with special teams football.”

He believes the Rams' defensive success stems from a complex scheme tailored to the players' specific skill sets, which they have mastered over two years.

“I mean, I feel like the system we got and the scheme we got is is built around our players. And what we able to do is like it's built for our skill set. And you know, we've been in this system it's our second year going on in the system.”
