Rams had Aaron Donald. You knew every game Aaron Donald was gonna do certain things so you could game plan for those things to be done. They KNEW for a fact he was gonna draw a double team so every blitz every zone was called with that in Mind.

It used to be Reader.

Disagree.

24.43%
52.49%
38.32%
48.77%

Can you really call a guy your "anchor" if he routinely plays less than half of the defensive snaps? Reader was very good when he was on the field, but he was never on the field. 

Their SB winning year Donald played 89.51% of their defensive snaps.
The year they went to the SB and lost he played 90.41% of their defensive snaps.
