But as far as I know, he has only made a cameo appearance as coach of the Rams offensive line. Coach Wendell, on the other hand, has been there 24 seven since day one.

I am not so sure, if that was the case, I do not think McVay talks about it and the question is asked. I believe it is more then a cameo and have a feeling he might have advised about Dotson. So we will see how this plays out, but because, if Coach Wendy is more responsible, then great, but I have a feeling that Munchak will be part of the Rams coaching staff next season.

Munchak’s contributions are unknown as is his current involvement, if any.

Wendell has been involved full time since day one. As such, I have to give Wendell the lions share of the credit for this ‘new’ OL in terms of physicality and effectiveness.

And I mean absolutely no disrespect for Munchak, of course.

Now, if facts later emerge that prove differently than I will happily change my opinion. But until then I have to consider Munchak’s continued involvement as hearsay.

From McVay's presser...

He's been awesome. I mean you talk about a guy with an amazing amount of
wisdom, humility. He's got just such a great way about him. He's got such a
calming presence but man, is there a lot of wisdom, both as a player and as a
coach. He's done a great job of being able to work in coordination with
(Offensive Line Coach) Ryan Wendell, (Assistant Offensive Line Coach) Zak
Kromer, (Offensive Assistant) Nick Jones. Those guys love him. He's just kind
of got that steadying way about himself that… I love being able to spend a little
bit of time with him, get his perspective. He has head coaching experience so
there are a lot of different things that he's just a great sounding board for us.
He's a stud and we love having him around.



That's from McVay himself.

It sounds like more than hearsay to me and it also sounds like he has been contributing in other ways as well so yes, I would say Munchak has had "continued involvement" since August.

To what extent? Who knows. That's why I asked the question to begin with.

Like you, I also a big fan of Coach Wendy and I am sure he deserves a ton of credit too so no disrespect to him at all. I just have a feeling that Munchak's input has really helped the entire staff. beer cheer smiley



#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

  Seems like once they announced Munchak was involved.

  Munchak has been a discreet addition? without much press coverage.
