Nick Scott was the center field post safety for the rams heavy cover 3 defense in 2022. Dax was better early in the season when he was getting more reps underneath with Scott over the top. Nick Scott just took the absolute worst angles I've seen from a safety in a while.
Saw the same thing, we might need to add another Safety with instincts, speed who takes better angles to keep Dax more comfortable
for all I know. But this could be Tycen Anderson next year. Battle is a more in the box Strong Safety type like Bell. Nick Scott was terrible
like you said taking bad angles early in the season.

For example, and mind you I love Logan Wilson, it seemed like he'd aggressively go after a ball carrier and outright miss or bounce off the offensive player. Pratt, Turner, and other DBs seemed to have this issue throughout the season. I don't know if they were over aggressive, had bad angles, or just didn't stick to the fundamentals.
It did. Lou did a poor job having his players stick to the fundamentals this season alright. So many bad angles from the LB's and Secondary
but also the DL just wasn't sealing the Edge either, bad combination all the way around. Logan was hurt clearly as he is going to have surgery
this Offseason, same with Sam. This makes the most sense as he was slow getting to the sideline on tons of plays taking the inside angles
instead of using the sideline and getting the ball carrier out of bounds.
