There has been no shortage of aggressiveness from the Los Angeles Rams this offseason with the plethora of moves that they have conducted. The front office is looking to build off their success from last season where they had their first playoff appearance in well over a decade.

One of these moves was landing All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh on a one-year, $14 million deal. During his introductory press conference on Friday, Suh voiced that the Rams have put together a promising roster but believes the team has to put in the work on the field to make it work, according to the Associated Press.

“I think everybody looks at everything on paper, and I would say we’re in pretty good shape on paper,” Suh said Friday.

“But we have a lot of things to prove, and really myself. I always play with a chip on my shoulder, and my focus is to come in here and put in a lot of work and prove my worth. … There were a lot of other great teams that I had offers from, but I think this was the best fit for me.”

The front office has certainly brought in a number of potential high-impact players on both sides of the ball. Los Angeles could potentially have one of the stoutest defensive units that feature much depth in the secondary with the addition of All-Pro cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib along with Sam Shields while retaining Nickell Robey-Coleman. The addition of Suh now gives the Rams a highly formidable defensive front alongside Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers.

Los Angeles also acquired veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks that should more than replace the void that Sammy Watkins left as being a wideout that can stretch the field as a legitimate deep-ball threat in the passing game. This is already adding to their young and promising wide receiver group along with reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley in the backfield.

There is plenty of optimism around the Rams to accomplish big things in 2018, but all of that will come down to them finding a way to be a cohesive unit on both ends of the field.
