You may not approve of the word, zn, but there really is such a thing.

Personally, I think that McVay has few peers in establishing it at all levels.

Coaches
Players
FO
Fans
Media

You name it and he’s all over it. Furthermore, I could understand where McVay would be the first to notice when something was “off”.

If there is "such a thing"---and it's not (as I strongly suspect) just a buzz term for a lot of different, actual things--then you could define it.

McVay is not perfect my friend. He should have noticed that his own OFFENSE was off, from the start.

Either way, I just think that when a team doesn't live up to expectations, it brings out a certain kind of "find the one thing to blame" type thinking from those discussing it.

It ain't one thing and the word "culture" doesn't help the discussion one bit. I think you might as well be saying "the spirit gods who govern the Rams fate are angry, and demand a sacrifice."

To me it always pays to be more specific. And concrete. And real.

As opposed to the idea that this magic thing called "culture" mysteriously turned from good to bad in one off-season.

zn181January 07, 2020 02:47PM

  It depends on how you define "know" and compiling observation

Ram49169January 07, 2020 03:01PM

  subjective

zn228January 07, 2020 03:03PM
