February 27, 2017 at 8:19 am in reply to: the offensive coaching staff … & updated: on the new offense #65639
Eternal RamnationParticipantI’m optimistic , I got exactly what I was hoping for in the coaching change. I can’t guarantee it works and sure there will be growing pains but I don’t see how anyone could not be at least a little bit optimistic . What’s the worst that could happen due to the new staff? Even if they play like crap it’ll be different crap not repetition which personally drives me nuts. We can watch what Phillips one of the best DCs in the game does with the hybrid 3-4 scheme that should be interesting. On offense if they stand pat on players at least it will answer some questions about the Fisher offense and if they go aggressive in FA and bring in some real talent, well that will be fun to watch as well.
Eternal RamnationParticipantForrest was playing well till he got hurt , a rookie no less.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI know a couple of people in mn that claim the have seen Bigfoot. I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods bow hunting and seen a lot of deer, bear, badger, mink ,skunk even a cougar but no Sasquatch yet.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHappy Birthday ZN ! 22mins. late here , but you get the idea.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI agree ZN, I am impressed by the quality of this coaching staff. Seems to me the people that put this plan together and executed it really did their homework. Just listening to the interviews they all seem to fit together. Time will tell but maybe removing Fisher when they did gave them a jump on forming the new staff.
February 11, 2017 at 5:57 am in reply to: Jason Cole: Rams receivers did not respect Jared Goff #65195Eternal RamnationParticipantGoff didn’t consistently hit them in the hands and that was a part of the problem IMO.
How do you know they ran the wrong routes? Watching TV I can’t even tell if they ran a poor route.
Agreed , from what I remember he did early in his first games and it almost looked like they were shocked. It was a huge change in velocity. I remember wrs not knowing where to line up, not knowing where the sticks were running into each other , seemed obvious to me. Goff was erratic but he did take a beating game after game. Some of it was his fault but some of it was horrible OL play and drop after drop including Britt in a couple games. I was a big Quick supporter but after the 3 games where he got sudden he was awful constant drops until garbage time. Austin simply has shitty hands. He’s made some good grabs but he’s also bungled way more than a 40million dollar wr/gadget man should. Spruce looked like a winner but he never even got on the field. To me it’s obvious we need players on the outside. Seemed to me like Gurley had the best hands on the team.
February 9, 2017 at 11:27 am in reply to: Jason Cole: Rams receivers did not respect Jared Goff #65103Eternal RamnationParticipantWith the exception of Britt they were all pretty horrible anyway and for someone with Britt’s physical gifts a thousand yard season shouldn’t be a big deal at all. The real question is why hasn’t he done 4 or 5 times by now. Even in ’16 he was constantly injured . His snap count would be an interesting stat. Goff hit all those guys right in the numbers/hands and they dropped them ran poor routes or wrong ones altogether . Shitcan them all. Keep Britt if it don’t break the bank but if it does there are better wrs to overspend on. Alshon Jeffery and Doug Baldwin would be huge up grades.
February 7, 2017 at 1:08 pm in reply to: Rams go after Mark LaFleur for OC…and then, hire him #65023Eternal RamnationParticipantIt’s a done deal, Matt LaFleur is the Ram’s OC.
Eternal RamnationParticipantLady GaGa rocked. Brady’s in tears Belichick is flustered
Eternal RamnationParticipantI see lots of commercials endless pregame shows and Lady GaGa making some new
fans. I’d like the Falcons to win but if they do it with offense we would now have a
guy that can out coach Belichick in the division.Hmmmm Belichick shuts out the Falcons
37-0 and give us the blue print to beat the niners. After the game both Belichick and
Brady retire and the McVay begins his decades long dynasty.January 29, 2017 at 4:00 pm in reply to: Gurley missed most of offseason program to take part in off-field activities #64511Eternal RamnationParticipantSo if the unnamed source coach is wrong about the offense and Bleacher Report has been a
flimsy source in the past , how much credence should be given to this article at all?January 29, 2017 at 11:13 am in reply to: Gurley missed most of offseason program to take part in off-field activities #64494Eternal RamnationParticipantWasn’t that one of the unnamed source’s points, that the offense was the same ?
According to Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole, the coaching staff said, “It’s the same [offense] he was in as a rookie. You tell me the difference.”
January 29, 2017 at 2:34 am in reply to: Gurley missed most of offseason program to take part in off-field activities #64481Eternal RamnationParticipantI dunno, what could they do about it? Except tell him to get in better shape.
Bench him and start Bennie for one if was as blatant as this un-named source claims it it. I guess that’s the problem with having the youngest team year after year. Too many players needing development an so few actually receiving it.
January 28, 2017 at 5:58 pm in reply to: Gurley missed most of offseason program to take part in off-field activities #64471Eternal RamnationParticipantI agree ZN a combination of many things . Gurley doesn’t get a pass but if coaching knew about it and did nothing they share responsibility. In 2015 the big games he had came in the second half from what I remember so that indicates to me conditioning was a factor unless we were losing by 20 points and running the ball wasn’t an option.
January 28, 2017 at 1:39 pm in reply to: Gurley missed most of offseason program to take part in off-field activities #64468Eternal RamnationParticipantWhile I can believe Gurley contributed they did start to stop him in 2015 and that same offense was shit. If you go back and watch the early games in 2016 it’s striking how bad the OL was Gurley’s first contact averaged 3rds deep behind the LOS . Also CK would often option out of runs right when it seemed like Gurley was getting going. Imo when you have defenders penetrating often unblocked 3yds. deep in the backfield the back is irrelevant . What good is vision if all you see are unblocked defenders in your backfield ? Also lining up 10yds. deep like ED. isn’t going to work if your not sending 3 OL to the probowl.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI expect a dramatic improvement from the offense, just having competent coaching on that side of the ball will have a huge impact through game planing and the ability to adjust to defenses
and opponents not knowing our own playbook better than GRob. The defense will depend on if Quinn can rebound to a higher level or if the decline continues. I’m thinking 8-8 but I do believe there is a losing culture that must be cut out which can always bring complications.Eternal RamnationParticipantAny way you go–they would have hired an Irishman.
McVay and McDaniels are both of Scottish origin and Shanahan means Irish baby boy. I’m not worried about his age, sure he’ll have growing pains but his body of work is impressive. And I’m prepared for any ensuing board war with Claymore and a light axe.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI like the hire. Young brilliant offensive mind who has done it without a Manning or Brady. Steady quality and experience at DC.
January 11, 2017 at 3:32 am in reply to: get rid of the idea that Russian hack stories are about disgruntled dems #63078Eternal RamnationParticipantAmerican intel has already made clear that among many other things the russians did, yes they hacked the dems (and the republicans too they just didn’t release that info).
They did do the hacking. That’s not all they did.
And this topic has nothing to do with who won the election. It has to do with whether it’s true there was russian involvement in the election in various ways.
And. Yes, there was.
ON TOP OF IT, this is not about dems whining. It goes way beyond that. Anyone who tries to construe it as JUST dems whining is just not engaging with the entire issue and all the info we have.
I see this discussion as Jane Democracy’s corpse is found and this discussion is focused on the small cuts and abrasions on her back.Are they from glass beer bottle glass? whiskey bottle glass ,what store was the glass bought at? Meanwhile there’s a massive hole where her heat used to be , a large and very bloody butcher knife with noticeably stumpy fingerprints on it lays at her side and a trail of bloody footprints leading to a limo headed for an inauguration.
January 9, 2017 at 11:24 am in reply to: get rid of the idea that Russian hack stories are about disgruntled dems #62904Eternal RamnationParticipantI cannot understand why anyone even cares what countries hacked the info that Clinton hacked and stole the primary. Palast was all over Trump’s interstate (30 of them) crosscheck scam that won him the election and CNN.clinton.corp. said nothing instead pushing this bullshit that the Russians did it.
Eternal RamnationParticipant1.This season is over and we don’t have to watch the ugliness anymore
2. A fresh set of eyes and minds could yield a much better team in a word,hope.
3.Easier schedule next season.
4. Goff survived rookie seasonEternal RamnationParticipantHe wasn’t handed anything he earned the job with phenomenal performance. Management knew he would be the #1 HC candidate and locked him up early. You can judge him on hypothetical hind sight, what he should have done but if you ignore what he actually did do it’s fiction.You can judge him a failure because he didn’t win a Super Bowl or 5 in a row but that is and always will be ridiculous to me. Especially when he coached the Rams last winning season 13 long years of losing ago.
Eternal RamnationParticipantMore than a few great offensive coordinators were failures as head coach. Turner, Martz, Linehan, McDaniels etc…
Martz has the highest win percentage of any Rams coach. Ridiculous to put him in a list with Linehan and McDaniels fucking ridiculous.
Eternal RamnationParticipantNowhere to go but up , that had to be the bottom. I didn’t see a team but a bunch of confused individuals.
Eternal RamnationParticipantSeason’s Greeting to all !
Eternal RamnationParticipantI think the melt down and the many problems leading to it had more to do with doing Hard Knocks than anything else . I think the move is overblown. Firstly it’s not like Fisher had to do the logistics and second moving in 2016 is so much easier than it was in the 90’s or 80’s. I moved my wife 12000 miles to a new freaking country while working 12hrs. a day and 8 on Saturday, while raising a teenager. I know it’s stressful and don’t deny it had an effect but the problems I saw this year have been the same year after year and I don’t see it happening because of the move. To me that’s an argument of convenience. What I saw, a fundamental breakdown of coaching not distractions from a move. I believe doing Hard Knocks exposed Fishers
coaching weaknesses to every team the Rams played this year and that is a very large advantage.Eternal RamnationParticipantI guess I don’t care who it is but they must win …a lot!
Eternal RamnationParticipantThanks to Fisher everybody wants to play the Rams.
Eternal RamnationParticipantYes–I don’t get how the heck they coach tackling but it must be to just dive at the opponent’s knees. Terrible.
Yup Jordan had the angle on that big TE but decided to try and hit him down with his back, bring back Roberson at least he could cover. This bunch needs a brain transplant.
Eternal RamnationParticipantAbout what I expected. Thought the OL sucked bad dropped passes stupid penalties and that ref sucked as well. Horrible tackling . This team is comfortable losing and it’s getting worse.
