When the LA Rams made that huge trade landing one of the best defensive ends in the game in Myles Garrett, you felt like their was a disturbance in the force. My gut feeling In the pit of my stomach told me just watch Aaron Donald come out of retirement and suit up once again for the Rams. Donald, who played ten seasons in the NFL and helped the Rams win their first Superbowl, being a resident in L.A., is coming back. Donald hung up the spikes in 2023 at the age of 32. From 2014 until he retired in ’23, he was the most feared defensive tackle in the league. Now he will return to the NFL at the age of 35 and team up with Garrett, who has all kinds of defensive awards like Donald had during his career. Could these two defensive studs be one of the best dynamic duos in the NFL of all-time? I’m not talking Batman and Robin. This is like Batman and Superman teaming up to disrupt every offensive game plan in the league.

If you tallied the numbers combined for both Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, you’d have over 200 sacks by two players on the same team career-wise. Donald has 111 sacks in his career playing his entire career with the Rams. Which started in St.Louis when the Rams drafted him and eventually moved back to LA from Arch-Town. In 9 seasons Myles Garrett has only played with one franchise before heading to LA in a trade with the Browns, that happened several weeks ago. Our apologies playing in Cleveland that long. Garrett has tallied up 125.5 sacks in his career so far and he is only 30 years of age. Now you have two guys playing on the defensive unit that have racked up multiple Pro-Bowl honors. Along with both of them winning multiple defensive player of the year awards. You know that both guys will be enshrined in Canton some day on the first ballot when they are eligible. Don’t be fooled by their ages as well. Garrett is coming off one of the best seasons in his career as he tied the NFL record with the most sacks in one season. Now Donald is 35 years of age and watching his clips him working out, he does not look like he will miss a beat. In ten seasons Donald never had any lower body injuries. I think the few years off have rested the wear and tear on his body, so it’s like if time stood still for him. He’s 35 but coming back as a 32 year old in a 35 year old body. These are two guys that opposing teams plan their game plan around. Now these offensive coordinators have to deal with two of the best defenders of all-time. With these guys getting attention, it will open up plenty of doors for other Rams defenders to have some big games on the field on Sundays. Last year the Rams defense was solid. They were not the best unit in the league but could hold their own.

Could Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald go down in history as one of the best duos on the defensive line and put up numbers as some of the best of all-time ever in the NFL?

In 198,1 the New York Jets defense was called the New York Sack Exchange. Between Mark Gastineau and Joe Klecko, they racked up 40.5 sacks that year.

The other New York team, the Giants, had their own duo. Carl Banks and the great L.T. Yep, Lawrence Taylor who put the fear of god into the quarterbacks’ eyes. The Giants went on multiple championship runs with these guys causing havoc in the 80’s.

The Eagle has landed. I’m surprised those great Eagles defenses, when they had Reggie White in his prime and Jerome Brown, never won a Superbowl in Philadelphia. White would win a Superbowl after his Eagles days with the Packers. In the late 80’s & early 90’s, Brown and White were monsters on that Philadelphia defense.

The Denver Broncos had two of these guys that were the main reason why they won Superbowl 50. It was Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, who created mayhem on the Broncos defense. It was Miller who earned MVP honors in that Superbowl in which he turned Cam Newton into a soft cookie after his humiliation on the grand stage.

Last year Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. on that Houston Texans defense tallied up 27 sacks between the two of them.

You wonder: How do these teams still have available cap space to fit in a guy like Aaron Donald? He will be paid 20 million in his return. The 35 year old that was drafted out of the University of Pittsburgh where Donald played his college ball, can turn the one year deal into a 30 million value with incentives. Playoff incentives. Obviously for the Rams it is Superbowl or bust here. I wrote when the Rams traded for Myles Garrett, it was a check mate style of move. The Rams last year without Garrett and without Donald made it all the way to the NFC championship. They lost a close one in a thriller. The Seahawks would go on to beat up the Patriots who really did not belong in the big game. Last year you could easily say that Seattle had the better defense. Their defense was nicknamed the Dark Side. With the additions of Donald and Garrett, the Rams may get a nickname and right now are clear favorites to win it all this upcoming season. The Rams have one of the best offenses in the league. Matthew Stafford is one of the better quarterbacks in the league and has won a ring already. The Rams are loaded in playmakers. They have a balanced attack, as their running game is lethal like their aerial attack. The Rams head coach, Sean McVay, is a genius at his position. Many reasons you can pick the Rams to win it all. Donald seeing that, got the itch again to play football. Can the Rams defense be up their with the 1985 Bears dominant D after this season? Right now the Rams have Godzilla and King Kong on their defensive line. That’s scary shit.
