WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – Mixing up the alignment of defensive linemen isn't necessarily a new development for the Rams' defensive front, nor second-year defensive end Braden Fiske . His alignment varied at times as a rookie.
But as that defensive front continues to learn about ways to create advantageous matchups, Fiske's versatility is helping unlock them.
"I think just with the versatility of being able to play inside-outside, they just kind of like to move me around," Fiske told theRams.com. "It gives everybody different ops everywhere. I mean, usually when you see me bump outside, you see a B.Y. (outside linebacker Byron Young) roaming around the inside, or Jared (Verse) roaming around the inside. We just kind of try to mix and match things, give different looks at offensive line.
