The Los Angeles Rams debuted the duo of Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald to devastating effect last Sunday in their win over the Washington Commanders. They looked fantastic, as Donald was able to apply continuous pressure to the opposing backfield, while Garrett secured three sacks and a forced fumble.
Donald spoke this week about having a different type of comfort with Garrett as his teammate ahead of a critical rematch with the Arizona Cardinals this weekend. During his comments, he added that there will be things that the defense will be implementing into their attack that excite the NFL legend.
“Yeah, like I said last week, it was fun to have him back out there, playing with him," said Donald. "I’m pretty sure he is going to get a lot more
double teams this week so it’s going to open up for some other guys. It’s good to have them out there. It’s a different type of comfortability when you have another type of guy out there that can make plays at any time. Continue to get better every single week, continue to work with him. I think it’s going to be fun. A lot of great things, a lot of good game plans that we’re putting in [that] I’m excited about. Have to keep it going, though, stay healthy, keep going out there and playing good football.”
Considering the Rams offense will be without major stars like Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and others for the next few weeks, Garrett and Donald's ability to affect the quarterback may be the team's only saving grace as they attempt to pick up wins through the holiday season.
Garrett is listed as questionable for the game, but is expected to play.
