Here’s a weird fact. Rams’ team that won only 1 SB (by an inch btw) and lost to Pats in 2001 now has 5 players off it in the Hall while NE dynasty that won 3 SBs in 4 years has only one., Ty Law.==

Super Bowl LIV’s nearly upon us, but 30 teams already have begun the effort to reach Tampa a year from now for Super Bowl LV. @greggrosenthal supplies one thing each NFC team can do to supplant the 49ers as conference champions.LOS ANGELES RAMS: Hope that Brandon Staley is the next Sean McVay.
I have more faith than most that McVay will come up with some counter moves to resuscitate the Rams’ offense, even with plenty of offensive line questions hanging over the team. The bigger X-factor for L.A.’s 2020 season is new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. If you haven’t heard of him, you are not alone. Staley was coaching in Division III only three years ago, before learning under Vic Fangio. At 37, Staley is actually three years older than his new boss. But they have a lot of similarities, considering their meteoric career climbs and the awed tones they engender at every stop, including during the interview process. Staley’s first NFL coordinator gig doesn’t figure to be easy because the Rams’ defense could be in transition, with key starters Cory Littleton, Michael Brockers and Dante Fowler Jr. all headed to free agency and safety Eric Weddle’s future uncertain. In Staley, McVay hopes to have found a jolt of energy and schematic advantage like he himself brought the team’s offense back in 2017.

Isaac Bruce was funny tonight. Said he initially didn’t answer David Baker’s knock at door just so Baker knew what it was like to wait a little.Wagney&Laceyhotdaddywags
I visited a friend in Atlanta in 1994. We went to the Rams/Falcons game and I saw Isaac Bruce’s first career TD in person. Favorite all-time Ram. One of the smoothest ever to do it, and one of the classiest too==

D’Marco told me last month, “I hope whoever gets in front of that (hall of fame selection) committee and gets to explain who Isaac Bruce is and what he meant to every team he was on can convey beyond the numbers, because you have to go beyond the numbers.”Howard Balzer@HBalzer721
Thanks to many selectors that supplemented my presentation with great things to say about Isaac Bruce. A true team effort just like Isaac, the ultimate team player.znModeratorIn an episode of NFL Films’ The Timeline, Isaac Bruce said he popped his hamstring before his first career playoff game. Didn’t tell HC Dick Vermeil or OC Mike Martz because he didn’t want to miss it.

Congrats to Isaac Bruce, an 8-time 1,000-yard receiver and a Super Bowl champion in St. Louis. He also was drafted in 1994, with the Rams still in LA., and played 12 games that season.—

BAD LUCK OR LIFE IN THE NFL?
seemed like goff had more than a few completed passes that were stopped at the bad guys’ 1 yard line last year so i decided to check it out and, sure enough, the guy had 8 friggin’ completed passes that were stopped a yard short of a td, none of which were converted into a 1 yard passing td, i.e. goff didn’t get credit for a pass td on the drive.
i have no idea if this is a high number or roughly the league average, the norm, but it sure seems high to me, and was the difference between goff throwing 22 tds on the year and 30.
panthers 7 yard line, pass completed to higbee for 6 yards.
saints 9 yard line, pass completed to woods for 8 yards.
rams 33 yard line, pass completed to kupp for 66 yards.
seahawks 32 yard line, pass completed to everett for 32 yards.
falcons 15 yard line, pass completed to woods for 14 yards.
rams 49 yard line, pass completed to kupp for 48 yards.
seahawks 34 yard line, pass completed to higbee for 33 yards.
niners 10 yard liine, pass completed to higbee for 9 yards.znModerator“I left the Rams and they went there — that kind of hurt me. … The biggest thing is to get to the show, and we’re actually here now.” https://t.co/OcRcFOj7IL

As we get set to welcome in a new class of Hall of Farmers later today.. it’s worth pointing out just what we’re seeing from Patrick Mahomes. Including playoffs.. Mahomes is 4-0 this season when trailing by double digits. HOFer Kurt Warners was 2-44 in his CAREER when down by 10znModeratorfrom https://twitter.com/TheRamsWire/status/1223659950297243649
Donald has talked to Staley already and spoke with Sean McVay when the hire was made, and he’s excited about the ideas he’s going to bring to the defense.
“I talked to him a little, not that much yet,” Donald told Rams Wire on Friday. “I talked to McVay a little bit about it. I’m excited from just talking to him to see what he’s going to bring to the defense and the things he’s going to do to free certain guys up to go out there and try to have success so we can win games. Part of this league is change and I’m just excited to see what he brings and what he can do.”
…
Donald is thankful to have had the chance to play for Phillips, and he’s going to miss the legendary defensive coordinator in Los Angeles.
“He’s a great coach. Learned a lot from him, he’s been coaching for a long time and having success,” Donald said. “Having an opportunity to play for him was great, we’re going to miss the swagger and the confidence he brought to the defense. He gave us a lot of opportunities to do a lot of different things and to be a successful defense, so definitely going to miss him.”

Donald and Ramsey are taking Phillips’ departure in stride.
“He was great,” Donald said. “Everybody knows he’s been doing it a long time with a lot of success and coached a lot of great players.
“He’s a guy that helped our defense to do a lot of great things, helped us as individual players to have success, so he put us in great positions. He’s definitely a guy you’re going to miss.
“Just a part of the business. It sucks, but just got to understand it’s a business.”
Donald and Ramsey said McVay reached out to them when Staley was hired.
“I know just talking to Coach, and hearing his mindset, what he’s going to bring,” Donald said. “I’m excited to see.”

I’ve talked to a lot of Chiefs players and coaches this week about stopping San Francisco’s offense. And in every case, it was about countering Kyle Shanahan as opposed to any one player. As much as any coach at any level of football, Shanahan is his own offensive MVP.znModeratorSuper Bowl hangover?
