Myles Garrett's Rams debut couldn't have gone much worse
Rams star Myles Garrett was so uninvolved that Puka Nacua finished with more tackles than he did.
Los Angeles Rams rookie Myles Garrett made his debut in a disastrous fashion in the team's Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers. After dealing with a knee injury during training camp, Garrett was eager to make an impact for his new team. However, his performance was far from impressive. Garrett managed only 0 tackles, 0 sacks, 0 QB hits, 0 batted passes and 0 forced fumbles in the game, and Pro Football Focus only credited him with one pressure, which was a mere hurry.
The only tackle he made came after opposing player Renardo Green's interception. Garrett acknowledged that he was not at his best in the game, saying it was "the worst version" of himself he had put out there. The 49ers' defense may have contributed to his poor performance by quickly throwing quick passes, exploiting his pass rush skills, and using chip blocks, both with tight ends and running backs.
Despite the disappointing start, Myles Garrett expressed his determination to improve, stating he will aim to bounce back in the next game against the Giants.
