Creed Humphrey could have helped. Why do I bring this up?
Because you’ve got to draft some studs at some point.
If you have a team that’s majority 4th-7th round picks, you dilute the Alpha component in your team.
Todd Lyght said when he was first on the Rams, most of his fellow teammates couldn’t play on Notre Dame. Mind you this was 1991 and the Rams were in full on tank mode. He didn’t think the same thing when he was on TGST.
But the Rams have 4 guys that I can count that are Alpha, probably 5 with Havenstein—Donald, Wagner, Ramsey amd Kupp. I think Stafford doesn’t quit so that’s good. I’m sure he’s great leader in the huddle, but you need to have more than 5 guys on your 53 man roster that have played against major talent and love dishing out pain and frustration to the other team.
McVay is soft and he might very well be a guy who will stand up and duke it out in a bar fight, but I think his coaching buy-in technique won’t allow Alphas into his control system. Suh only lasted a season. Talib played along, got old, but was sent packing.
There’s a danger having too many Alphas on a team. The prisoners can run the prison if you lose control.
Bit I think McVay doesn’t know how to handle too many Alphas.
And so the 5 Alphas on the Rams can’t measure up to the 20 on the 49ers.
Just my two cents.
I mean, what else explains the 0-7 failure?
