Outside of Hekker and Donald blow it up

I see this same type of quote a lot…my thing is, not 1 team in the NFL is made up of all pro players and I’m including the dark side Patriots.

There are plenty of players on this team that I think are solid players and can be building blocks going forward.

Please explain what you mean by “blow it up”.

It should be obvious. REBUILD. It is yet another rebuild. But when since 2004 hasn’t it been a rebuild? Solid players have their head in the game. Stupid penalties abound every year. When is the last time the Rams as a team could be described as having their head in the game? 2004? When is the last time the Rams had a competent offense? The Rams defense had been rebuilt of late yet this year regressed to the point that it needs a rebuild. Special teams are almost finally there but watching Tavon Austin’s piss poor judgement on returns or worse fumbling on returns is too much and with the coaching change it too will be rebuilt

The penalties have been a constant since Fisher arrived and I put that on the HC, always have.

I don’t recall a total rebuild of the D…I do know this team has had a revolving door of sorts at the coordinator positions, and the new coordinator is gonna want players that fit their scheme…if anything, I think that hindered the team from gaining any continuity. The D played less aggressive this year…I think that had to do with injuries to the DB’s and not having continuity.

ST’s have been there for the last couple of years and while you may not appreciate TA, prior to this year he had been a top 5 returner each season and has the breakaway speed required to make the other teams pay attention.

I disagree with a complete rebuild but I guess that depends on the incoming coach and players he needs to run his scheme…for example Barron, does he fit in the role GW had him, will the new D coordinator be fine running a 4-2-5 D?

To me there isn’t much difference between a “complete rebuild” and “twixting” the roster.
We need a HC who is concerned about the whole picture: getting football smart and dedicated players, getting coordinators who can be their own mini HC with their respective parts of the team, and can keep the game day wisdom in every moment.
There are some keys: what will the new HC do with the O-line? Approach to improving the WR corp? Improving the consistency of the defense?
We need a general.
