I'm starting to see a shift in dominance from Verse to Young and it started late last season.

I don't think so, I think Young and Co. Are benefiting from the extra attention Verse now commands. The Clowney/A.D. effect

Now I do think Young is better than Leonard Ffloyd in his prime as a rusher

Nice speed rusher from the Edge - like Verse he completely ignores containment responsibilities & boy will it show this week if it continues.

Rams are fortunate to have both. Solid draft picks. I’ll leave it at that………..

Young isn't getting double teamed but Verse is. that is the difference

Young is taking advantage of the opportunities. Hopefully he keeps doing so, then at some point offenses are going to realize that there's a 2 headed monster and it could open things up for Verse.
To answer your question. No, I dont think Young is better, but its nice that its even a consideration, because if Young does end up being better, that is bad news for the opponent.

I don't think they completely ignore it....but I have noticed both can get fooled and break containment.

Both are aggressive and can bite on play action...teams are going use that against them, so they will learn

The great thing is that now teams are going to have to pay more attention to him as well as Verse.

BY played well as a rookie and has continued to develop. We have a short window where we have a lot of young talent on defense Gotta win the Bowl this year and/or next because I don't think we can fit everybody under the cap.

Great 1-2 punch. Verse will start making headlines again. Got lot of pressures week 1. This weekend will be the REAL test of our D and team as a contender.

Young is really good and could be flourishing in year 3. Verse definitely gets more attention from opposing teams. Even the rookie Stewart got a sack right away. What’ll happen when Young gets double or triple teamed?

Young and Verse elevate each other.
