That had to be a funny moment.

I think one feature of the Rams' team that is underplayed is the Safety-tandem of Arch and Aeneas. When both safeties can dart seamlessly between roles like those two can and can anticipate and complement each other, offenses can't be half-stepping through the Rams D regardless how porous the front end has been.

Hard to say how much time Williams has left, but there could be a lot of hurtin' still to be dispensed before Arch and Aeneas go their separate ways. Just thinkin' of Arch decapitating an unsuspecting receiver in the short north and having Willams take the ball out of mid air and head back in the other direction leaves me with shivers.
