RamsDynasty
I believe the true eye for defensive talent lay with Jeff Fisher, the tricks he used what he would look for and evaluate was best for the Rams when he was here. After he was fired Snead amd his staff retained enough of that knowledge to approximate the Fisher model the first few years but our late in the draft db homeruns has been on the decline since his departure. Since the Fisher magic recipe for evaluation is gone (Fisher was in the league too long to be bad at everything, he didn't know offense but he had an eye for defensive talent) they rely more on analytics and it hasn't served them nearly as well. Also I pro personnel guy is also in Detroit now so that can't help.
I think you called it correctly regarding the Fish. If there was one thing he was good at, it was knowing what tough, good defensive players looked like.
I still think McVay as the HC and Fish as the DC would have been a great match. I don't ever recall the Fish "rolling out" a "soft" defense. You knew you were in for a tough physical fight whenever you played a Jeff Fisher team...at least on D! LOL
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
