snead seems a tad impulsive…

sometimes it works. and sometimes it goes bad.

rams hire joe coniglio for olb coach. former roommate of mcvay at miami.

Rams hiring Navy assistant Joe Coniglio as OLBs coach

well. just to be contrarian i’m not sure woods would have made much of a difference in place of robinson besides health. woods played the whole season while robinson missed almost half the season. but i’m not sure if a healthy robinson or woods saves last season.

projected over a full season woods and robinson had pretty similar seasons. that is to say average to below average.

rams need a healthy kupp and obj next season. maybe add a tight end or another running back. and shore up the oline.

it’s not looking so great right now.

would the broncos let the rams hire eviro away?

edit. nevermind. just saw that the broncos let him go.

just a random thought. hope the rams could sign mike gesicki. athletic freak. they could use him more like a receiver in their 3 wr sets. don’t know how they’d make it work cap wise or even if his skill set would fit in this offense. but i just feel there’s so much potential there still.

i didn’t know him personally but a good guy and fun times with him on the gameday chat.

he also gave me a recipe for biscuits and sausage gravy, so i loved seeing the comment about his love for cooking.

But then Stafford was a better fit for McV. Stafford walked into the room demanding respect with his veteran smarts and longevity, so it was more of a case of coach and veteran qb collaborating than an impatient coach handling a young qb.

partially true.  i’m not saying i disagree with that.  but i think other things also played a part.

mcvay i think had committed to a 3 wr approach at that point with gurley declining.  i don’t think it’s a coincidence that goff’s resurgence has coincided with a resurgence in the lions’ running game.

i do think that mcvay could eventually be that patient head coach.  well.  at least a more patient version compared to his 30 year old self.  i think his perspective changes dramatically when he is say 50 years old compared to a couple years ago.  or at least it’ll have to or i don’t think he lasts.

it’s kind of useless to argue because mcvay back then was obviously incapable of having the kind of  relationship with goff where goff could keep growing as a qb.  it could have just been personality.  it could have been the age difference or mcvay’s immaturity.   or maybe mcvay just needing to realize that deficiency in himself and having a qb coach.  maybe mcvay needs his right hand man.  like tony larussa had his dave duncan.  but that’s also part of growing as a leader.  cuz you hope mcvay wouldn’t make the same mistake at 50 years old that he did when he was 34.

i wonder what happened with akers. she does allude to it a little bit according to that summary you provided. but i wonder what specifically mcvay’s role in it it was. and if mcvay was able to glean anything from his past relationship with goff when dealing with the akers situation.

i’m glad that mcvay is at least recognizing or at least seeming to recognize his deficiencies. it at least gives me hope that he’ll better manage himself going forward. help him manage his relationships. maybe even enough to last beyond 2023? he’s potentially the best thing to happen to this franchise since i’ve been following him. but only if he can bring the rams back a second time. i think it’s possible.

dude needs to have a talk with dick vermeil. and they need to hire an experienced oc to take some more off mcvay’s plate.
