Hoecht was another example

I know he was a ray of sunshine at edge late in the season, but playing a 310 pound guy there seems like a gimmick that's sure to run its course sooner than later. This defense calls for 3-tool OLB's. Hoecht, can rush, probably play the run, but how long before they start passing to his side every time he's in the game?

Given that only he and Brown are our only DL that top 300, it seems to me that he'd be better opposite AD at the other end where he could disrupt on an every down basis. I know that this DL is geared towards tying up blockers so AD can do his thing, but with age and offensive schemes slowing him down, wouldn't a second threat on the D-line be of more use?

But I don't really pretend to understand this defense enough to assume i know best here.

Hoecht was another example of a player not being used correctly and not soon enough IMO. Maybe this is one reason Morris isn't a HC again? He lacks in the player development department.

We've seen this with McVay too. We all agree Tutu should have been playing sooner and more often.

We will need to improve in this area if want to be able to rebuild with players that might REQUIRE extra attention, coaching and creativity.

Will we?
Can we?

I have more faith in McVay than I do Morris and I think maybe McVay feels the same and that's why we now have Lake and Pleasant on the squad.

#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
