    the thing that phillips stresses in his video is playing to the players’ strengths.

    so he’ll get the best 11 players and use what works.

    my guess is he’ll have way more athleticism inside than he did with the broncos. should be exciting. if they could find an olb, this front seven is set.

    great hiring. i think he’s better than williams. seems like a good guy too.

    i think the rams defense gets even better next year.

    TE is a deep class.

    i see a lot of talk about drafting a wr this year.

    i think they should draft a tight end.

    it’s an extremely deep class.

    i could see as many as three tight ends going in the first round.

    draft a guy like bucky hodges. it could make a huge impact on this offense.

    Fisher had final say. Carroll has final say. Florio’s assumption that a GM is “over” the coach is not true. Some places it works that way, some places it doesn’t.

    i realize that, but in shanny’s case, they may not have been willing to do that.

    hmmm. i wonder if demoff heard by way of his dad that shanny wanted final say? and that was another reason to just go ahead and sign mcvay?

    and who does get final say? has that ever been written about?

    or maybe that rumor about another football executive coming on board will shed some light on that.

    well again. great qb and a sound offensive scheme. those two were lacking on the rams.

    with mcvay. and hopefully an improved goff. we will see the receivers take a step up.

    i like the talent at receiver. austin is who he is, but i have hope in cooper and spruce. and i think they can either re-sign britt. or what would be my preference is to sign a guy like garcon to help ease the transition to a new offense.

    this draft is supposed to be deep at tight end. i know that they have higbee and hemingway, but with the importance of tight ends in this offense and the talent available in this draft, i think they should draft one.

    there’s 5. maybe 6. maybe even 7 tight ends available in the draft who could make an impact at this level.

    russell okung. i know that oline on the broncos had problems, but he’s an experienced starter.

    if ingram is available, i’d like to see the rams sign him. if they can’t sign jones. but they won’t come cheap.

    sylvester williams. he should be affordable.

    yeah. it is. he’s able to draw keyshawn in and get him on his side.

    i don’t think he’ll have problems engaging and motivating today’s player.

    and i think he’ll remain true to himself.

    Yeah, so this is actually a loss. Pleasant was a young, engaging coach. Well respected. Sean McVay adds a potential rising star to his group

    i like the fact that there seems to be a nice mix of youth and experience on the coaching staff. i mean you want the experience. but you also want that energy and drive to be successful. you want fresh new ideas. not just how things have been done. i expect some more youth on the offensive side as well.

    2nd my bet is if they hire Kromer he will be just fine and they won’t just dump him for someone else.

    no, meaning kromer would serve double duty the first year. then he’d slide over to exclusive oc duties and hire an offensive line coach.

    they could even hire an assistant oline coach this year. and then if callahan became available, they’d hire him as oline coach and slide over kromer to exclusively offensive coordinator.

    It appears that Callahan would be the best hire. He could fix the Offensive Line and the running game. But he is under contract to Washington for one more year. Maybe the Rams will go after him next year?

    maybe if they can’t get the guy they want, they’ll have kromer be the offensive coordinator/oline coach for the time being. then hire the guy they want next year.

    I have hope for him too. But he hasn’t established himself yet so we don’t know for sure. Same for Cooper and Thomas. Hopefully McVay can fast-track these guys’ development.

    can’t forget about the tight ends either. tight ends were a big part of that offense in washington.

    112 receptions out of 407 at washington this year (27.52%).

    rams tight ends had 61 receptions out of 312 (19.55%).

    i think there’s potential there. we know he’s a big fan of kendicks. and higbee and hemingway are young and athletic. i’d still like them to draft one in the middle rounds this year.

    but running backs too.

    it’d be nice to see how or if he can get gurley more involved in the passing game.

    well. i can’t say until i see who they re-sign and which free agents they do sign. and how the draft turns out.

    it’s conceivable that they have a winning season.

    as oline coach of the bills, the bills had the top ranked rushing attack the last two years. don’t know how much of that was kromer and how much of that was roman. hopefully, he was paying close attention while he was there.

    i said it last year, but a healthy quinn would make all the difference. as it was, the rams were ranked 9th with quinn in and out of the lineup. i can only imagine how good this defense could be with a dominating quinn.

    draft another outside linebacker to go along with quinn as a standup defensive end. i think this front seven could be truly special.

    i understood almost none of that. all i care about is that goff understands this offense and is able to execute it.

    They do attack the midranges though, in ways the Rams just haven’t the last few years. BUT the Rams threw deep more than Cousins/Washington did.

    if true, i’ll take that. that’d actually be my preference.

    and hopefully gurley can get back to his 2015 self and mcvay is able to fold that into the offense.

    i thought he did fine. i WAS surprised that he made second team all-pro. but i thought he did fine.

    i think he’d be better at weakside in the new scheme. i think having ogletree and barron as the inside linebackers might be a little too much, but what do i know?

    all kidding aside, i might be more worried about phillips. he’ll be 70 years old by next season. he’s got 3 years more at the most.

    They definitely need to sign a good FA WR, preferably someone who has worked under McVay. But I’m not sure they should just let Britt go without attempting to sign him. I saw nothing from Cooper and Thomas during the regular season that made me think they can play in this league and Spruce couldn’t stay healthy enough to dress for a single game. His entire rep is based on part of one preseason game.

    the problem for me is they already gave tavon 10 mill a year. so do you then sign 2 more starting receivers and keep paying tavon?

    i’m not a capologist so maybe it can work.

    but i’m spending resources on defense. secondary (re-sign trujo), linebackers, and a nose tackle.

    besides i wonder also what mcvay can do with the tight ends. he definitely uses them in his offense. he likes kendricks, and higbee has potential.

    i would let britt go. unless mcvay thinks he can do something with him.

    sign a guy like garcon, who knows the system, and you got garcon, austin, cooper, thomas, and spruce.

    i think that’s enough to work with at receiver.

    no. i’m concerned. i don’t know that he has the experience necessary for the job. impressing in interviews is one thing. actually doing it is an entirely different thing. especially when the organization is so… unstable.

    mike tomlin did it. but look at that organization. that guy was set up to succeed. the steelers are a model organization.

    the rams? well. i love the rams, but they are dysfunctional.
