    “….Schlereth said in a radio appearance that it was a “bold-faced lie” for Fisher to say he didn’t realize Keenum was injured because he was in game-management mode.

    Fisher said he spoke with Schlereth on Thursday to clear the air.

    “He apologized to me,” Fisher said. “Again, Mark didn’t have all of the facts. Those things happen. That’s the world we live in right now…..”
    —————

    Yeah, I thought Schlereth was out of line
    when he was going of about the Keenum thing.

    No tv-celebrity can possibly know what angle
    Fisher had on that play, and whether he was blocked
    from seeing Keenum’s head hit the ground, etc, and so forth.

    This is a tricky issue — are the powers-that-bee gonna stop
    the game and pull a player every time there’s a hard hit now?

    I did not but I remember the promos when it came out. It looked complicated and confusing. I like a movie that requires thought but too many twists and it becomes hard to comprehend. Was it so good that it left you speechless, or so complicated that you can’t form an opinion? I see your thumb is sideways.

    Well….i think it’s definitely worth watching.
    Even if you hate it, you’ll appreciate the ambition
    of the story/writing/acting. Each actor plays
    about four or five other parts — sometimes crossing
    genders, eras, cultures, etc.

    There are some good performances, some bad performances
    and some just plain weird performances.

    I enjoyed it. But I got confused a lot.
    But I will probly watch it again.
    I know people that have watched it five
    times just to try to figure it all out.

    The Asian actress was pretty awesome, i thought.
    She plays a revolutionary in the Future. She

    I think he must be related to the station owner er somethin.

    If you listen to John Clayton on that, his thing was, where was the NFL spotter. He pointed out that a slo-mo close-up view on tv is not what you see from the sidelines. The spotter, though, had the tv view. He says he didn’t intervene because the Rams trainer was out there talking to CK. However, of course, the Rams trainer didn’t know what the spotter knew.

    The assessment appears to be that means there’s a crack in the procedures. The league set out to fix that particular glitch so it doesn’t happen again.

    I really think that just sums it up. To me, the people blaming Fisher are just incorrect about what happened. They get their eyes filled with the tv view and act like that what we saw in that view was visible from the sidelines.

    .

    Yup.

    Foles benefited from 3 turnovers vs Seattle and got 146 yards rushing from Gurley in Arizona..

    The Rams cannot put the game on Foles’ shoulders, because when they do, they lose. He had chances in Washington, Pittsburgh, and in Minnesota… he wasn’t even a “game manager” in those games…….

    Well, i agree the first four games were a mixed bag.

    But after the GB game the bag wasn’t even mixed anymore. Ya know.

    Yeah, I look at it the same way.

    I thought the GB gaame kilt him.
    And I dont thin Bradford would have
    survived it. Foles has a very
    tough body.

    But now that I’ve seen him in action a lot
    I want an upgrade at QB. I dont want them
    to settle on a Pre-GB-Level Foles.

    I hope they keep drafting QBs high,
    midde and low unti they find something
    better. Assuming Mannion is not ‘the guy’.

    I think our biggest disagreement is on Greg Robinson.
    You seem to think “he’ll be fine” and I seem to think
    “no, he wont”.

    Well, of course not, but there are probably other opinions.

    Well, I’m curious about this game.
    On the one hand, its a division game and the Rams
    usually do ok in those. And its at home.

    On the other hand the Rams are in total-meltdown-mode.

    It will come down to Gurley, I think. Their only chance
    is if Gurley can consistently run the ball.

    I’m going with:

    Rams 14

    But, it doesn’t matter anyway: The only thing the owner is interested in right now is how he can get out of St. Louis. I wouldn’t think he’d change the head coach or GM until after he can make a move.

    I think you’re correct on 2 points:

    1) That was Stan’s M.O. in Denver with the Nuggets… kept George Karl for about 10 years… i think Stan likes stability at HC.

    2) I think he likes Fisher to help manage a potential move like Fisher did when he replaced Jack Pardee in Houston when the Oilers moved to Tenn…..At this time, Stan’s priority is his potential real estate empire in LA to attract furture $$$$$

    Jeff Fisher doesn’t cut it as a head coach in the NFL…..

    Well George Karl was a highly regarded coach if I recall correctly
    wasn’t he? He was an excellent coach.

    They need mid-grade QB play. That and some health should be enough to get to 10.

    They should be able to keep most of the components of the defense together with their salary cap space.
    I’m assuming they get improvement out of half of all the olinemen they picked up the last two years.

    To get to more than 10 I think they’d also need one really good, legit WR.

    QB is an imperative.

    I don’t believe the QB or the wr are currently on the roster.

    Maybe they can trade one of their seconds for someone’s number 2 QB. Whose got a good one?

    —————————–

    One of things that is SOOO disappointing iz…
    Fisher was set up to succeed. I posted about that back
    when Spags was jettisoned. Fisher had Quinn and Long
    and cap space and he had all those high picks from the RG3 trade.

    They made critical mistakes with Finnegan, Cook, Jake Long, Britt,
    and not drafting or signing a top WR and not drafting a QB behind Bradford,
    etc, and so forth.

    Thats one view.

    The other view is, every regime makes personnel mistakes
    and it was an annual InjuryFest that derailed Fisher’s Rams
    the last three years. Just awful luck. Bradford, the OLine, etc.

    I dunno.

    And, even if they could draft all of those positions, and hit on every pick, I’d say that this offense wouldn’t reach its potential for a couple more years…

    Well they do have three picks in the top forty-five or so, at the moment.

    They need a legitimate LT for one thing, to settle the line. And they need a legitimate QB.

    Does that get done next year?

    I doubt it. I hope so, but who knows?

    Until they solve that they will continue to struggle. And if it takes two years they’ll be watching the defense decline as they bring in new players there.
    I am not sold that this team gets there. I’m not sold this coach can get them there.
    I hope everyone is laughing at this post next year when the Rams roll into the playoffs. But I just don’t have that feeling right now.

    Well, maybe they draft an LT and a QB,
    and move GRob to guard.

    Or maybe they really like Mannion and are
    grooming him to start next year. That
    would be great if he were the real deal.

    Are the Rams the worst team in the NFL
    right now? I dont watch many NFL games

    If I’m the coach, I’m starting Mannion
    in the last home game. That would be
    the Tampa game. I wouldnt want him
    starting in an away game.

    Give him some playing time against
    ARIZONA and Detroit and then
    see what he can do against the Bucs.

    I dont think Fisher will do that
    but I’d do it.

    And I dont think Mannion would do
    well but i think he might do ‘as’ well
    as Keenum or Foles.
