    wonder if the patriots have any adjustments to that running game.

    if i’m shanny, i try to run them into the ground. stay aggressive but try and wear them down.

    for now i think mcvay will call plays because well he said so. but i could see a situation when the offense is installed and mcvay hands over playcalling duties to the offensive offensive coordinator if/when he feels comfortable handing them over. that would leave him more time to oversee the whole team. perhaps in a couple years.

    i got a bad feeling. the pats d is supposed to be good. i don’t know. never saw them outside of the rams game. but on paper they look good. and they got a good qb.

    that falcons d seems shaky.

    also my guess is if this hiring happens.

    lafleur would essentially be the passing game coordinator, kromer the running game coordinator, and mcvay the hc/oc/playcaller.

    mmmm. i figured it was either lafleur or morgan.

    personally i prefer morgan. but this hiring means directing as many resources as possible to developing the crap out of goff.

    he’s the belle of the ball.

    aaron donald has strong hands. if he gets his hands on a dude it’s over. they’re going down.

    my only hope for robert is that he can get over his back issues like isaac got over his hamstring issues although i admit back problems are probably harder to deal with than hamstrings.

    i keep wondering what wade will have in store for ogletree and barron. if they end up being the inside backers. wow. lots of athleticism there.

    if losing mcvay meant losing phillips i can understand why it’d be a hard decision. especially with the potential on this defense (and they’re already pretty darn good).

    otherwise i was and still am fully onboard the shanny train. that guy could have transformed this offense. brilliant.

    hopefully they can get morgan and ramp this running game up.

    my sense is that ogletree has grown up a lot since he came in as a rookie. maybe it had to do with becoming a father.

    i hope they can lock him up, and i’m excited to see what he can do in this new defense. i like that that guy said the new defense will be simpler. as opposed to williams’ defense. just let the guys attack.

    i like him more than williams. the rams absolutely nailed that pick.

    the only thing i worry about is the age all kidding aside. i just hope they got a replacement ready for when he steps down.

    no, i missed that. but my wife’s family was sent to the internment camps.

    i even have a copy of the executive order that pretty much stripped them of everything they had and sent them to the camps. we also have the suitcase that her great grandfather took with him to the camps.

    just sad sad times we’re living.

    is there a remembrance of the japanese internment camps? maybe not on the scale of atrocities of the holocaust but a valuable lesson to be learned there especially in these times.

    Well, he’s all WCO.

    He was in Washington from 2011-13 under Mike Shanahan and with Kyle Shanahan as the OC and McVay as the TE coach.

    He was in Oakland in 2010, under Tom Cable and with John Fassel.

    So he has the McVay/Shanahan family tree thing.

    yeah it seems like a logical fit. versed in the wco along with the zone blocking system.

    he’s young and will give valuable input into the running game.

    problem is will falcons let him go. and even if falcons were to let him go, would he want to join shanahan in san francisco should shanny take that job.

    oc position is still open. i’m guessing they want someone from the falcons staff to take that position. my guess is their oline coach.

    who knows what the truth is? for all we know shanny might like goff.

    but if he takes the niners job, my guess is his first order of business is finding a quarterback. i don’t think he’s planning on kaepernick as his starting qb. i also don’t think him taking the niner job would necessarily mean he prefers kaepernick over goff.

    as far as martz, i don’t know. he was just speaking to media. i doubt he’d be forthcoming about his real opinion on goff.

    i don’t have a good feeling about this.

    my only hope is that lynch has no idea what he’s doing.

    but shanny’s offense is proven. i think it was the better fit. and if shanny really wasn’t so sure about goff then you trust his judgment. that guy knows quarterbacks.

    sounds great. maybe the rams can even get one of their defensive free agents.

    trujo NEEDS to be re-signed.

    they need to improve the pass rush and trujo will be fine.

    they need another corner and a free safety on top of that for the secondary. maybe they have a candidate for free safety already on the roster.

    Jeff Fisher has historically been able to get the best out of running backs and keeping young players to “buy in” to the off season program.
    The fact that Fisher couldn’t get him to worries me a great deal.

    the new offseason rules suck though. i don’t know how it was back then. but these are “voluntary” workouts. fisher can’t discipline him for skipping them.

    maybe work him harder during training camp? bench him? i don’t know.

    we can only hope that gurley has learned a lesson.

    i remember first reading that and thinking maybe it would be useful in getting some more quickness.

    but apparently it was because he wasn’t working on his strength and conditioning.

    and it showed. so many times he’d go down with barely a touch. his normal balance just wasn’t there.

    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.”

    That’s incorrect. Boras changed the terminology so they had to go through a learning process.

    In terms of just the general approach to offense, overall yeah it was similar.

    The hard part about learning a new offense though isn’t the plays it’s the terminology.

    For example imagine this–how long would it take for you to drive without overthinking it if suddenly overnight they they changed all the symbols, colors, and words for traffic signals and signs. You would get back to normal after a bit but at first it would be more hesitant.

    Well they changed terminology during a move. The move just means less focus. How much less? Who knows, but it had an effect, I think.

    ..

    ..

    but then you take a guy like britt where it didn’t seem to affect him much.

    i also think a lot of it is not just the playbook but also game planning and playcalling. i’m guessing boras just sucked at that.

    So maybe some of the flaws in Gurley’s game that people have been talking about this season (poor vision – not seeing the holes, impatience, etc) have always been there but last year they were mitigated by the occasional long runs and second half blocking adjustments by Cigs.

    yeah. and i think vision is something he can develop as he plays more.

    but he’s gotta get that explosion and balance back as well. not just from the long gains but to be able to hit the holes and the creases faster.

    Todd Gurley played a word association game on ESPN's SportsNation show

    should we be concerned that gurley hasn’t even met mcvay yet?

    i mean we know that donald, quinn, ogletree, and goff have already met their new coach. does this guy get it?

    yeah.

    i think he can learn that. it was just a whirlwind. moving to a new city. all sorts of distractions pulling you every which way. i was a little concerned last offseason, but recently he seems pretty humbled. who knows? but the fisher firing has to be a wakeup call. no one is safe. things can change quick in professional sports if you’re not on top of it.

    oj howard. 6’6″ 249 pounds. excellent blocker. very good receiver with potential to be more.

    33 7/8″ arms 10″ hands.

    most likely a first round pick though. supposedly killing it in practices.
