although mcvay was never a qb coach. but he was offensive coordinator and worked with cousins i’m sure.

i suspect mannion is not as good as goff.

that’s just my opinion. and dickerson certainly is around the team more than i am.

i also don’t think for a second mcvay keeps mannion on the bench if he thinks he’s the better play.

was he not around when griffin got replaced by cousins?

he wasn’t the offensive coordinator the whole time, but his first year as offensive coordinator was when cousins took the job from griffin iii for good. maybe he didn’t make the final decision. it was probably gruden, but still. mcvay probably learned from that experience. play your best damn players.

goff being a number one pick isn’t gonna change that. he’ll get first dibs, but if mannion is better, he’ll play.

although yes. i was against the trade up.

hope it translates to production.

The Rams defense is the least of my worries given their overall talent level and Phillips’ history of immediately improving them. I think it’s more likely that it takes a step forward than a step back, anyway.

i agree especially with joyner moving to free safety. plus i think quinn moving to linebacker will help him especially if he loses some weight which i think he should.

not to mention the addition of barwin on the other side.

so the first audio says goff has poor recall while wentz was supposed to have perfect recall. hmmm…

can i trust these reports or just blowing hot air?

i hope mcvay kicks him off the sideline.

i don’t doubt that players loved to play for fisher. i don’t doubt that they played hard for him.

i think the mistake was hiring boras and in general a bunch of inexperienced coaches combined with a young roster of offensive players. maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference. maybe with the move and with a journeyman qb and one of the greenest rookie qbs possible it would have made little difference but i don’t think it helped. it was short sighted of fisher.

and maybe options were limited. but my gut says boras was not the guy. and i write this knowing i write it with the benefit of hindsight. cuz i was hopeful at the time of the hiring that it was the right one.

an inexperienced unit? how much experience would higbee even add?

hopefully everett and hemingway step up. they still have harkey, and maybe we even see some sam rogers.

he reminds me at least in terms of frame of von miller.

with one difference. his arms are slightly shorter. 32.5″ compared to von miller’s 33.5″.

in terms of explosion and agility numbers, ebukam actually scores slight higher in explosion numbers (40, vertical, broad). unfortunately, in the agility numbers (3 cone and short shuttle), ebukam actually scores lower. 7.02 and 4.31 compared to von miller who ran 6.70 and 4.06.

i value the agility numbers more. but phillips definitely has a guy he can mold.

he also came across as immature when he first came in, but he’s come a long way in that regard.

i like ogletree too. it’s just weird that pff has never had more than lukewarm things to say when it comes to him.

they don’t even mention him in any of the above articles but do about easley and barron.

wow. pff doesn’t seem to think much of ogletree.

wonder if the rams would be better off just drafting someone rather than re-signing alec.

hmmm… i’d want to know who else was on that list and how they ranked and what their situations were.

ok a little panic might be settling in right now.

the rams aren’t really this incompetent are they?

in order i think their needs will be.

1. pass rushing outside linebacker
2. 3-4 lde
3. center
4. defensive back (cb/s)
5. tight end
6. offensive tackle

but yeah. bpa. for sure. so for example. likely you’re not going to pick a center if you’re in the top 10. even though it’s high on your list of needs.

my bet is that first round pick will be one of the following. pass rusher, 3-4 defensive end, or defensive back. best available.
