I don’t think Staley was hired to replicate exactly what the Rams did. I think he was hired because he is very smart and designs defenses to match his personnel and combat what the offense is doing. So I am pretty confident he is not coming here expecting someone to be the Chargers’ Donald and someone to be Ramsey. There are only one of each of those. Expect the defense to look a bit different than the Rams did and make the most of Bosa and James.
I am pretty excited to see what he does in applying his same philosophies to the offense, too

He’s not old enough yet to be stubbornly stuck in a rut.
Brandon Staley’s innovations revealed the next evolution of defense
TY.
Great content.
Steve's EAGLE Front...it's new and it's old.
Key points
1. Donald/Ramsey vs Bosa/James
--how will '21 LAC defense differ from '20 Rams defense ?
2. NFL offenses '20 vs '21
--how will adjustments be made to StaleyD and imitators ?

Agreed.
To read between the lines...
Not only is Alex Rollins saying that Joey Bosa and Derwin James are different than Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.
He is saying that the Rams defenders are better players.
As good as Joey and Derwin are, Donald is top two or three player in the league, and Ramsey is the very best DB.
Derwin can be more versatile than Jalen. Joey is loosely equated to Khalil Mack by Staley.
Vs LAR, we have superior pieces around our big two--go ahead and do a side by side comparison ! It is a matter of bringing it all together.

I don't even know what we have in Bosa & Derwin. DJ has been a no-show and Bosa hasn't been dominant.
I want to agree that we have superior over-all D talent but a LOT depends on Staley & his D coaching assistants.
I think we can be a top 5 D or better in '21 "IF".
GO BOLTS !!

thats where im at also.
not impressed with this team at all yet.
Bosa needs to step it up.
DJ needs to actually get on the field and show that his rookie year isn't a fluke

Bowa was double or triple teamed for 64 straight quarters in 2020. Derwin i agree on, if he hurts himself one more time dicking around in a non-game situation, he’s not invited to my Christmas party.

is Bosa not one of the highest or the highest paid defensive players?
also think its pretty scary that he had two concussions last season or was it one?
