Re: Coaches that teach

While the Rams were falling apart late on his watch, I cringed when Mike Martz said that his players were supposed to know the basics of how to play football when they arrived out of college - and he wasn't going to waste his time teaching them the basics. Remember when this board was agonizing over how he Rams kept missing tackles?

Ahhh, those frustrating missed tackles. I remember that too brother! In fact, it seems like it was just last year...oh wait. It WAS last year!

I don't know all the ins and outs of how they coach nowadays but when I questioned Morris's not "teaching" or "developing" players, I was told that in today's NFL, coaches don't do that anymore so it wasn't Morris's fault for the missed tackles and bad techniques we were seeing every game.

Some here even almost quoted Martz word for word: "players were supposed to know the basics of how to play football when they arrived out of college".

While I agree with that to an extent I disagree that coaches in today's NFL aren't still "teaching" and "developing" players. Some coaches find a way to get it done one way or another...some don't.

#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
