Feels like a bit of an insult to the current roster of players. It would be interesting to hear from McVay whether he thinks the on-field staff needs three years to coach up this team and whatever new players come along in the next couple of years. Will the head coach say ‘we are three years away’ before training camp even opens? Hell no. Maybe Snead is making excuses for his mediocre draft classes and is trying to sell this as a three year work in progress?

Well, seriously. It’s three years until Goff hits his prime. Whatever THAT is.

And, as a GM, what would you say? If you just hired a new coach?

“We expect an immediate turnaround.”

You’re not going to say that.

This is why I just don’t bother with interviews, and stuff. Because anybody with any brains is…you know, I am a teacher, and I run a theatre program, and when it comes time for a “speech” to the Company, I say what I think those people need to hear, not what I actually think. Just sayin’.

Well that’s not what I needed to hear.

I like it, but they sure need to find another good CB.

I guess we are all looking forward to seeing the new Wade Phillips Defense.

The Greg Williams Defense was spectacular sometimes, but it was a mess sometimes too. It would be nice to see some consistency.

Good thing we still have Barnes. oh wait….

We don’t have the picks for this kind of building strategy. I am really bummed.

This same o-line did better in a zone blocking scheme the year before. You can’t keep re-building Massachusetts

We need someone to show the current wide receivers how to play in this new system. I want Garcon.

Drove me crazy how they always had to change so much year after year.

Ok, I must admit….this is pretty exciting. I just can’t wait to see what he does.

Seems kind of thin skinned to be insulted at the order in which people are interviewed.

Trestman has had some good offenses. Don’t know what happened in Baltimore though

Sounds like a slam dunk to me.

Four games remained in the Redskins’ season. Chris Cooley, by that point one of the game’s most productive tight ends, quickly became uneasy about what would follow. His new position coach would be…a 24-year-old named Sean McVay….Cooley said “I learned more about football [in those 4 weeks] than I had in my entire career….”

In the 2011 opener, Cooley broke the franchise record for receptions by a tight end and gifted McVay the football.

“His ability to understand the game from every aspect — fronts, coverages, line play, checks, from top to bottom — is uncanny,” Cooley, now a member of the Redskins’ radio broadcast team, said in a phone conversation on Saturday, the day after McVay was introduced as the Los Angeles Rams’ head coach.

Well to invent a phrase.

That right there is some lofty-ass praise.

Yeah…..I don’t know what’s happening. I think I might be feeling some optimism.

Rams should target wide receiver DeSean Jackson in free agency

i just took several things from the article and posted them here.

Washington has two wide receivers eligible for free agency in the upcoming offseason: Jackson and Pierre Garcon.

Both are currently on the wrong side of 30. But it’s unlikely that Washington would re-sign both wideouts.

…

The market value for Jackson is $22.8 million over three years, for an average annual salary of $7.6 million (via Spotrac).

That’s comparable to the $6.7 million estimate for Kenny Britt, who is a free agent as well.

Jackson, however, is from Los Angeles and recently had over 1,000 yards while playing under McVay.

…

According to Pro Football Focus rankings, Garcon was the No. 8 overall receiver in the NFL this season.

Jackson received a grade of 77.0 — comparable with the New England Patriots’ Julian Edelman, the Cleveland Browns’ Terrelle Pryor and the Chicago Bears’ Alshon Jeffery. It’s higher than Britt, who received a 76.5.

ok. so yeah. one or both might be a pain in the ass. but i’m thinking about it, and this offense needs continuity. no. goff has not played with either of these guys.

but these guys played under mcvay. they know the offense. there won’t be confusion in what routes they should be running. they will know what to expect in minicamps and training camps. they can help goff learn the offense. they can work with him in the offseason when mcvay can’t. they can also work with the current rams receivers in learning the offense.

now do these guys want to go to an offense where basically they have to rebuild? who knows? they’re 30 years old. i don’t know that they would be in that mindset. having to teach younger guys when they might not even be around when the rams actually become successful. IF THEY EVEN ARE SUCCESSFUL.

I’m with you on this. It helps the transition having a couple guys that already know how to do things.

They might even fall under one or two of them pillars…..that ain’t bad!

I would be really bummed if Wade Phillips does not come with Mcvay
