Enjoy winning as much as anyone. But what I expect is not to be paid lip service to every week that McVay says he has to be better, yet nothing ever changes. He expects his players to improve, we have a right to expect him to as well, but his improvement lasts a week, then it is back to a 3-1 pass/run ratio and another loss. Either be better like you claim you are going to be or stop talking.by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Williams was averaging 4 yards a carry against Philadelphia and without those stats being inflated by a single 30 yard run. We were down three going into the 4th. As usual, McVay panicked and left something that was working- a time-worn story with him. You give him credit for great drafting despite the fact that he had no high picks- he had no high picks because he had a hand in trading them aby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm no genius. I'm not being humble, either- my wife will agree with me, and has even directed the descriptive "half-wit" my way on more than one occasion. She's not always wrong. What I can do is discern patterns. I'm sure true geniuses can do that as well, which makes me question whether Sean McVay really is the genius/wonderkind that so many people wish to describe him as.by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Check out the drafts Vermeil oversaw from 1997-1999. A pile of productive stars and blue collar pros for those Rams teams. Vermeil didn't have the ego that destroyed so many other coaches (see Martz, Mike). He didn't try to get cute, he didn't try to prove he was smarter than everyone else come draft day- he recognized guys that could play football and picked them, and didn't take flyers on potenby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Man, oh man, oh man. How far we have fallen from the days of Don Klosterman, God rest his soul. Don Klosterman lived to deal with GMs like Les Snead. At this point, I am absolutely certain that Snead truly believes that Green Bay won the John Hadl trade. 2012 1 Michael Brockers 2 Brian Quick 2 Janoris Jenkins 2 Isaiah Pead 3 Trumaine Johnson 4 Chris Givens 5by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Been following the team since I was 9 in 1974. Those squads from the 1970s and 80s are still my favorites by far, even if they never won the ultimate prize. Those squads had something in common that I think McVay and Snead should probably pay some attention to. I'm going to focus on a two-decade period, because it is the most successful twenty years of Rams football in the modern era- 1970by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
All white design looks like pajamas. Apparently none of the brain trust is familiar with the acronym KISS. An all time classic example of over-thinking a situation. If this is, in fact, the final product, it sucks.by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I am going strictly from a pure value standpoint from where the pick was in the draft. All time favorite is Larry Brooks- 14th round in 1972, the 355th pick in that draft. A stud DT that has stats that compare real favorably with the HOF's from that era like Joe Greene, Alan Page, Randy White, etc. Least favorite- anybody we picked at the #1 or 2 spot in the entire draft that failby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We lost to Staubach in 73, Tarkenton in 74, Staubach in 75, Tarkenton in 76 and 77 and Staubach in 78. Truly sad part was, those Rams teams were so good, we didn't need a qb the top caliber of a Staubach, Tarkenton, Stabler or Bradshaw to have won multiple Super Bowls. I'm convinced that if we had had (in no particular order) Bert Jones (Colts), Bob Griese (Dolphins), Ken Anderson (Bengalsby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
My sincere apologies- I was confusing the fact that both Fowler and Peters WERE number 1 draft picks by their respective teams with what we paid to acquire them. Absolutely my fault for not fact checking before submitting. My memory, sadly, ainby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Wade Phillips. This organization has failed on two fronts, but the biggest one that has cost us dearly since his hire is Wade Phillips. I didn't understand it then, and the longer he remains, the worse it gets. Not necessarily defense performance-wise, but how it has negatively affected the team just to get to a point of an average defense. When Phillips was hired, we didn't haveby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
At this point, AD is coming off as a spoiled brat. He ought to take time out of his tantrum to either a). fire his agent or b). schedule a sit-down face-to-face chat with a guy named Eric Dickerson, who made the same huge mistake 30 years ago. Ask Dickerson if he could turn back the clock, whether he might do things differently. Ask Dickerson about all the lost income in demanding out of Hoby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Spend about half a day around Philadelphia fans and you will hope the Patriots win by 70. No city and it's teams run their mouths more and produce less than Philly. Most obnoxious fan base in the country.by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure I understand your response. The watching is a personal issue. As far as my post goes, the statistics speak for themselves- when you aren't down by more than one score and the coach is feeding his best player the ball only 15 times or less for the entire game, there really isn't an argument to be had.by 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Caveat right out of the gate- I have not watched a game since week 2- I have zero time for the protests and the direction the NFL has gone. Literally ALL of my information comes from this board and visits to websites to get the box score. I truly thank this board for the information provided- it is in-depth, it is usually very well thought out and it often comes without much bias one way or the oby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com

If Gurley gets 25 carries, not touches, we win. We have to control the clock, and more importantly, prevent them from controlling the flow by getting their running game going, which has been our Achilles heal. I believe Ajayi and Blount CAN beat us- I do NOT believe Wentz can. If McVay loses his Martz fetish, feeds the rock to TG to keep Goff in manageable 2nd and 3rd downs, we win.

Guy has a great track record, but not sure that he and his 3-4 was the best idea here. We seem to have a bunch of guys that can play the line, but we don't have a single linebacker worth a bucket of spit, and now we're playing a defense that needs 4 of them? A good coach adjusts his philosophy to his personnel, not vice versa, and our lack of linebackers, particularly in the middle, got exposed tby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Until this organization gets a bonafide NFL GM, a guy that has been in the league for years and has a proven track record, it is wasting it's time. That old saying about those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it? Since the early 80's, the GM has been: a combination of lawyers (Shaw and Zygmunt) who knew nothing about the makings of an NFL player, only how to make $$ foby 70sramsfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you so much for taking questions, Mr. Youngblood. I have been a fan since finding your football card on the top of a pack in 1974! A question about your teammate Jim Youngblood. The two of you were not related, and yet the Youngblood name is not a common one, and the two of you played the left side together for a number of years. My question is, how close were you and Jim?
