Fisher says blame Rams receivers for interceptions

i like keenum. he’s falling on the grenade as a leader should.

as far as the ints go, the receivers should be getting their asses chewed out. pay attention! especially on that last possession. good grief.

The thing i want to know is — Is this offensive communication stuff “correctable”. Or not.
I mean they changed some stuff on offense, so is this just ‘learning curve’ stuff that they will at some point improve on? Or is this just bad coaching or players with low-football-IQs ?

The WRs looked really good last week. This week it was up and down.

And what will Goff bring to this offense?

Eventually, the team is going to get sick of Fisher, to the point, where it will not be a shock to see the players quit on him. He is throwing everyone else under the bus, but himself. If Stan Kronke does not see this as a problem, then he doesn’t care about winning.

in the back of my mind. there is this worry that the players have tuned fisher out.

i must admit.

I don’t see that happening. At all. Unlike some of us, the players wouldn’t blame him for everything. But that’s just my version of guessing/mindreading to balance your version.

I’m saying that Fisher is deflecting blame off himself. Fisher is basically saying he didn’t do anything wrong.

Quote from John Robinson “Well, as the Rams’ only spokesman these last nine years, it’s my job to announce to you that I have submitted my resignation, and it has been accepted,” Robinson said.

“It was a situation of mutual arrangement. Rams management and myself felt it was the right thing and the right time for this to happen. We’ve had a good nine years. Unfortunately, the last two years we have faltered. This year, particularly, was difficult for us. We tried to make a lot of changes in the football team, and we just didn’t get it done.”

Robinson, 56, leaves as the winningest coach in team history with a 79-73 record and six playoff appearances in his first seven seasons.

for me. and part of this is probably insanity talking.

it’s not about benching players cuz i think we’ll magically improve this year.

it’s about the realization that the offense as it is now is not going to cut it.

i’d bench keenum not because i think goff will be better than case this year. but that in time he will eventually be better. and what better way to get a leg up on next season than starting him now so he can get some experience. WITH THE ASSUMPTION that he looks ready enough. if he isn’t then no. don’t throw him in with the risk that he get himself hurt physically or mentally.

and if i bench quick or britt it’s because i want a better look at how cooper and spruce look. and obviously there will be lumps. but i like their mental makeup. cooper is a former high school qb. spruce is technician. a guy who has maximized his ability. their mental makeup i’m gambling will be better for the rams in the long term than britt and quick – who haven’t impressed me beyond their physical skills. now obviously the coaches see these guys everyday so if they’re not ready then you don’t play them. but i want to see them get more playing time if they are ready.

and obviously you don’t just bench players and g8ve rookies a starting position but you ramp up their reps in practice and eventually in games.

i had my hopes up for britt and quick but i think they are what they were the last three years and not the last three games.

Quick has been having a great year and was lights out against the Giants, sans what he’s being accused of. You don’t bench a guy that is actually helping your team. Quick is a handful for the defenders and is actually catching the ball.

Britt is on pace to have over 1,000 yards are you gonna replace a legit #1 receiver and keep a back-up QB on the field?

Tavon just signed a 40 Million dollar contract then you bench him? I don’t think so

Well he wasn’t serious about the benching talk. If you heard it, it was delivered as a toss-off remark. He was basically saying, I put more blame on the WRs, that game was not the qb’s fault.

And in fact all 3 guys you name mammothly F’ed up in that game. Tavon led to the pick 6, Britt dogged it on a route where he could have had a long TD, and Quick did not register the signal for the audible, leading him to run the wrong route and give the defense an easy pop-up INT instead of a possible TD.

They played well against Detroit then those three all acted like they had been enjoying london more than getting ready to play.

I would imagine if either Spruce or Cooper were ready you could bench any single one of them.

But again Fisher was not saying that in any serious way. It was, bench the qb? Naw I would bench one of the WRs for screwing up before benching the qb.

Fisher RARELY directly calls out a player in a press conference and in that one he called out both Britt and Quick.

And I agree with him.

.

You mention 1 play in what 45-55 snaps for each of them? BTW, I only agree with TA Fed up. That miss really hurt the team and he has to haul those in.

I can’t speak on the Britt doggin it thing as I haven’t seen anything on it.

If Quick did miss the signal…well, it’s a new offense for the receivers and a new QB….sure he should catch the audible, but he isn’t the only guy in the world to miss one. Not enough to lose his job IMO and I don’t think he’s gonna.

I can mention a lot more than 1 play CK messed up on.
