Re: One angle regarding Mcvay.

We’ve beat the Morris horse multiple times to death and you make an insightful point that the pressure applied to not make a mistake is on McVay’s offense—conversely as Morris intends.

But how about coaching up good tackling? Does anyone on this board, even the stoutest Morris backers, think that the Rams’ defense is top five in tackling?

If you reply, oh, that’s an easy fix. Well, it’s been there all season so why wasn’t it fixed?

I think I brought that up once before when someone defended Morris by saying it's the "talent" not the scheme. I asked then why can't Morris "coach them up" and was told by someone, maybe JY43, that in today's NFL coaches don't have time to "teach" tackling or other things like that. Basically was told that players don't get "coached up" like they used too. Coaches only really do game plans, etc. NFL players should already know how to "tackle".

I don't know what all Morris and other coaches are responsible for but I would hope it still involves some "teaching" and "drills" too.

#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
