This baffling stat shows how badly the Rams misused Michael Hoecht in 2023

Michael Hoecht made the transition from defensive tackle to edge rusher in 2022, helping provide some depth at outside linebacker for the Rams. Since making that switch midway through the season, Hoecht has remained an edge rusher for Los Angeles, starting all 17 games opposite Byron Young last season. There's no doubt Hoecht has some pass-rush ability, but the way the Rams used him in 2023 was frustrating, to say the least. Far too often, former defensive coordinator Raheem Morris had Hoecht drop into coverage and even line up across from the opponent's slot receiver.
