You want truth, here you go: by this time next year McVay will regret that he didn't fire Morris and go get Fangio. That was the play he should have made but he allowed thinking like yours and his friendship to prevent that decision.
Feel free to mark this down and revisit in a year because I am very confident I will be correct.
Also and btw I wish Morris all the best. Not a hater by any stretch but he is just not a very good defensive mind.
My take on him is pretty simple... He's not an elite DC. We need better because we're an elite franchise now.
Last year when McVay hired him I was concerned with his grasp of quarters and Fangio's system at large. My question was where was he going to learn the nuances of that scheme from. Because he didn't have the history under anyone who really knew it. That ended up not necessarily being a problem, but that was because the Rams added Von Miller after a slow start by the defense and once he got rolling with AD the rush was so good teams didn't have time to get through reads and burn our subpar secondary. So this is where my opinion on all this was formed really.
So I don't think he's a terrible DC. He did win it all.
Thing is are we going to be able to find a top edge again? Because I don't think that will happen. So we're going to need someone with a top grasp of that back end who can confuse QBs with pre-snap reads and whatnot. I don't think Morris can do that.
Now of course there is a chance he can do that and I am wrong. But I'm willing to bet he won't. Which is why I say feel free to bump this and all that. I like the guy, but I want a DC who is on the cutting edge.
Morris is the opposite of "cutting edge". Just a basic prevent defense. Nothing fancy or new. The only "new" thing is that he runs more soft zone than anyone else in the NFL.
Who ya go in mind merlin? Any suggestions?
I would much rather see us run a 4-3 style. Not sure if we have the players to do that but it would be a nice change up.
#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
