No matter what rationalizations are made the basic truth is we need better coordination of this defense.
Matter of opinion Maybe it is coordinated well but the execution is not good enough. Why
always scapegoat a coach?

The secondary is not deceptive enough pre-snap,
That's the point. From 2-high Rams can play (are do a lot) rotate to cov-3, or can play 2-man, Cov-2, Cover-4, Cover-6, Cover-8.
With can complain all we want about window dressing but when rams are up (and it was proven that it is far more than people's "eyes" there is a reason. It's because they are showing a Cov-2 look to that side. They can do it, bail, or whatever. So, to the extent they are disguising it, how do any of us know? I don't think we do.


guys are not playing with anticipation in zone, they're not well prepared in man either for route combinations of opponents,
I think this is right

and we're not going to find a top edge to bail us out again back there.
A pass rush would help. Rams have had nothing all year. When Hoecht has shown something it was after Donald was out

They need to fix the secondary which means a DC with a strong grasp of what is required.
Nothing more than an opinion of Fire Morris said in a softer way. Where we like it or not there is no way on God's
green earth that Morris does not "know what is required". We fans have no clue what is "required" and have no ability to know that in the first place.
All evidence is that Morris is smart. Saying he does no have a "strong grasp" is again, a softer way of saying he's not smart.


Staley would meet that objective.
His defense is 21st in yards, 25th in points allowed. He has All-pro safety, Pro Bowl edge, signed an All-pro corner that didn't do well. rushing defense 28th
sack % 20th. (Rams 23rd) - - - maybe he's not all that

He will be available this offseason I think.
Yeah. Could be. partially because of the above.


Fangio obviously would as well. Both are well steeped in the chosen scheme McVay prefers.
Probably so



It sucks for McVay but to date he has always made that hard call when it had to be made. So I have faith he'll do what must be done.
Yeah, fix the last-place offense, i.e. fix the offensive line, get an edge rusher.
