znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueRams TEs coach Nick Caley will add pass game coordinator duties to his role this year. I was told by a couple team and league people that he was an important retention by Sean McVay. Caley drew outside interest this offseason and McVay wants to keep developing him in-house.znModeratorMost sacks in a game:

znModeratorfrom https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/20/24078430/rams-salary-cap-space-2024-free-agents
Rumors emerged on Monday that the salary cap could be $243 million, but PFT’s Mike Florio reported that a source said the number will be much higher and could be $250 million. That would mean that L.A. doesn’t have roughly $28 million in cap space; they have more like $36 million.
znModeratorAdditins, huh?
I noticed the Rams created a new coaching position – Defensive Coordonator.
I don’t know why you guys are being so padentic. I prefer the unpretenshus instinkts of the true football fan. Someone who just gets how a new coordonator is a valuable new additin. To them the whole idea would be perfektly cleer.

February 19, 2024 at 9:51 pm in reply to: “the draft” thread … ie. not “the Rams draft” thread … #149450znModeratorVincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignoreThe more I study this QB draft class, the more I think it has a chance to be a Burrow/Herbert/Tua/Hurts/Love type group. The skill sets aren’t exactly the same, but the impact could end up being similar.znModeratorsaw this on reddit. apparently scheelhaase was working with mostly freshmen his first year as a coordinator.
In Scheelhaase’s only season as offensive coordinator, the Cyclones averaged 26.2 points per game — up from 20.2 in 2022 — and went 7-6 overall in 2023, 6-3 in the Big 12 Conference. Somebody here also mentioned it was with a bunch of freshmen.
from https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/19/24077782/rams-coaching-staff-nate-sheelhaase-sean-mcvay
Scheelhaase is an intriguing name. He’s just 33 years old and was most recently the offensive coordinator at Iowa State. Scheelhaase was the Cyclones’ receivers coach when now-NFC West rival QB Brock Purdy was in Ames. He spent two years as the offensive coordinator before being tapped by McVay and moving on to the professional level..Before joining the coaching ranks, Scheelhaase was a four-year starting quarterback at Illinois between 2010 and 2013. He holds the school’s record for most total offensive yards (10,364) as a dual threat threat signal caller. The former quarterback didn’t waste much time transitioning from the field to the administrative side of football, as he became the assistant direction of football operations for Illinois in May 2015. Just a few months later in August, Scheelhaase joined the coaching staff overseeing running backs. He joined Iowa State in 2018 in the same role before switching to receivers the following season.znModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefter

…
From https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/19/24077801/rams-qb-coach-dave-ragone-matthew-stafford
Ragone was Arthur Smith’s right hand man on the offensive side of the ball. The Falcons’ offense performed well under Smith and Ragone despite poor quarterback play from the likes of Desmond Ridder, Taylor Heinicke, and Marcus Mariota. Atlanta was particular effective in the ground game even before they used a top 10 selection on running back Bijan Robinson, and maximized production from Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier.
Ragone has been an assistant coach at the professional level since 2011 when he joined the Tennessee Titans as wide receivers coach. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2013. After bouncing around for a few seasons, he joined the Chicago Bears under head coach John Fox again as the QB’s coach between 2016-2019. It was telling that Matt Nagy kept him around on his staff when Fox was fired after a single season. Ragone became the passing game coordinator in 2020 when the team selected Justin Fields in the first round. He joined the Falcons with Smith the following season after Nagy was fired mid-year.
LA’s new coach should not be a total stranger to the franchise, as he was part of the organization as a quarterback in 2006 after being drafted by the Houston Texas in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Ragone played in NFL Europe’s 2005 season and earned offensive MVP honors while leading the Berlin Thunder to a World Bowl championship. His NFL career ended after being waived by the St. Louis Rams prior to the 2006 season.

Rams Brothers@RamsBrothers
Rams’ staff has pretty much been filled out. They did it quickly, as they tend to do:• Dave Ragone (QB coach), replacing Zac Robinson
• Nate Scheelhaase (Pass Game Specialist), replacing Jake Peetz
• Giff Smith (Run game coordinator/defensive line coach), replacing Eric Henderson
• John Streicher (Coordinator of Football Strategy), replacing K.J. Black
• Chili Davis (Special Teams Assistant), replacing Jeremy Springer
*promoted Chris Shula to DC, replacing Raheem MorrisJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
John “Stretch” Streicher replacing Berbenich + I believe adding more to role… is taking over a somewhat mysterious and unpublicized role held by Berbenich last year and my sense so far is it – while still taking shape – will expand.Sean McVay has spoken highly of Dave Ragone a few times last couple of years – the two are friends. Mentioned him as the potential Zac Robinson replacement a few weeks ago here

Los Angeles Rams
Biggest offseason need: Pass rusher
It’s a tough call between cornerback and outside linebacker. Veteran corner Ahkello Witherspoon may have played himself into a contract elsewhere, and there is little consistency among other younger players. Meanwhile, the Rams have pieces of their pass rush in place between Aaron Donald, Kobie Turner and Byron Young — but are missing an experienced outside rusher to make the group more cohesive. A great pass rush can fix a lot of issues in the secondary, so I’ll pick that as the position with the “edge” in roster needs rankings for a team that has quite a few. — Jourdan Rodrigue…

znModeratorRams hiring Chili Davis as assistant special teams coach
“The Los Angeles Rams have lost several coaches this offseason, which is an annual tradition for Sean McVay’s staff. Among them was Jeremy Springer, the Rams’ assistant special teams coordinator. He left to become the Patriots’ special teams coordinator, opening up a spot in Chase Blackburn’s group in Los Angeles.
The Rams have filled the role of assistant special teams coach by hiring former Kansas State special teams quality control coach Chili Davis. The news was first reported by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, and it’s been confirmed in Davis’ bio on Twitter where he wrote “Assistant ST @RamsNFL”.”
znModeratori’m guessing that’s kind if an assistant head coach role? at least that’s what it sounded like when he was at tennessee. he was described as vrabel’s right hand man. still need a qb coach/pass coordinator and lb coach. and an assistant st coach.
In his most recent role with Tennessee, Streicher assisted the team with in-game decisions, game management, and other various aspects of game strategy.
from https://titanswire.usatoday.com/2024/02/14/rams-hiring-john-streicher-titans/
The Tennessee Titans announced that they would be bringing back a total of 11 coaches from former head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff, but they won’t be retaining his former right-hand man.
According to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, the Rams are hiring former Titans director of football administration, John Streicher, as their new coordinator of football strategy.
Streicher was hired in 2018 and first served as the assistant to the head coach for two years before moving to coordinator of football development for three seasons and then director of football administration in 2023.
Streicher got a taste of head-coaching duty during his stint with the Titans.
After Vrabel tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of a 2021 preseason game, forcing him to miss the contest, Streicher handled game decisions, managing playtime and communication with coaches for the contest.
As of this writing, the Titans have not named someone for the role Streicher is leaving behind.
