Practices look very different for Jared Goff this year not because of major changes made to the offense, but because of the revamped defense. In addition to facing Ndamukong Suh on the defensive line, Goff also has to go up against two All-Pro cornerbacks in Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib.

That’s quite the upgrade from last year’s tandem of Trumaine Johnson and Kayvon Webster, who have zero Pro Bowl appearances combined. It’s obviously great news for the Rams, having two elite cornerbacks in the secondary, but it’s bad news for the quarterbacks facing them next season.

Goff knows full well just how difficult a task that is, shrinking the margin of error significantly.

“It raises the level of competition and the level of trying to be exact with everything. When those guys are out there, the margin for error is so much smaller,” Goff said Tuesday. “I don’t know how other quarterbacks are going to have too much of a great time going against those two guys. It’s tough, they’re so good. And anytime we get in practice and do get a chance to be competitive against the ones – ones-on-ones – and those two guys are over there, they give us fits. But definitely helps me get better and helps our receivers get better.”

Brandin Cooks and the Rams’ receivers have said several times how much it helps going up against guys of Peters’ and Talib’s caliber. Their aggressiveness and willingness to take chances lead to turnovers and batted balls, which obviously frustrate quarterbacks.

The Rams’ first-team offense doesn’t line up against the first-team defense regularly, but Goff made it clear just how challenging it is facing the new-look secondary.

And that’s without mentioning overlooked studs like Nickell Robey-Coleman in the slot, as well as Lamarcus Joyner and John Johnson at safety. Altogether, it’s truly one of the best secondaries in the game, and opposing quarterbacks are not going to enjoy playing the Rams much at all.
