Improvements abound for the Rams, which strides have had the biggest impact?

PrintAll around the St. Louis Rams roster you can see improvement since the 2009 season. Even at wide receiver, probably the team's weakest link, there have been gains.
In some instances, it's obvious. The Rams made a huge investment in upgrading the quarterback position. The offensive line got a boost from the addition of Rodger Saffold and the subtraction of Alex Barron. Steven Jackson is still Steven Jackson.
On the other side of the ball, the change has been even more impressive. Save for one outing, against Detroit, Rams' opponents are finding it hard to breath much less score points. Even more astonishing is that the Rams only made a few personnel moves on defense, most notably adding veterans like DT Fred Robbins and LB Na'il Diggs. The rest of the improvement has come from the individual growth of players and a much more cohesive unit.
Which unit has been the most improved group for the Rams from last season to this one? Which improved personnel group has had the biggest impact on the Rams 4-4 record this year?

I'd agree
Well Leadhead, we are a 6 point underdog in what I’d call a very important game. I hope these Rams can pass the test.
The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

I really don't get that
granted were playing in San Fran…but still the 49ers have been awful this year.
Me neither.
I knew we’d be underdogs due to our away record, but I figured 1.5 or 2.5 points.

I think that they will...
…but if they dont, I wont get to bent out of shape about it. Winning in Candlestick Park is tough.
I had to go with O-Line
I think the D-Line is playing better, but the O-Line was much, much worse last year, so they had more room to go up.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE

Well.
I’d say receiver is much improved BUT possibly even more unlucky then last year. I have no doubt in my mind that our offense would be ranked in the 10’s if Avery and Clayton were with us all year. Oh well, that’s football.

QB was too obvious.
He said that.
