Alabama OC from a few years back was the top OC in his draft but had an injury to get over. I always assumed he was Kelce's heir apparent but when Kelce extended his career they plugged Dickerson in at OG. Now if they move Dickerson to OC then that would create a hole at OG however.by RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
When will the Saints have to pay up on their over the cap after kicking the can down the road since before McVay's first trip to the Super Bowl? The Rams decided to take their medicine after the "all in" Super Bowl title but the Saints have been avoiding paying theirs since years before that. I didn't mind the Rams taking their medicine after the Gurly/Goff deals because it was somethinby RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci They may make that deal for less. They may pitch back a 3rd or 4th. I'd consider that. They need that to trade up for McCarthy or Maye ... which IMO is who they're after. Carolina also likely wants it... but I doubt they give up Burns for it. Or if they eat a lot of his salary like the Rams had to on the Goff trade. That might be more desirable than the 3rd or 4th.by RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
Wentz is a typical Rams reclamation project. High first round traits that didn't produce as expected but under the Ram's environment might flourish. Yes Wentz had issues as a starting QB might not be a leader of men over a season but as a backup he need not lead just be there and produce. The reason I am favor Wentz over most possible backup qb's is that he has a talent level comparable to Staffoby RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Quotekw13 If the cap goes up for all teams, it doesn't really help us. Yes and no. While it doesn’t give the Rams a competitive edge over other teams, it does provide more funds with which to pay players such as Dotson, for example. Well the previous point still stands because if under the old cap Dotson wants X under the new cap (old cap+Y) Dotson will want X+Y.by RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
Was commenting on another thread and it occurred to me that Andy Reid went out and got a DC that was just as good as him on the defensive side of the ball. No one ever questioned Spags acumen on defense just as a HC. While I have no problem going HC vs HC with the Chiefs, there is no universe where you can see Shula as just as good as McVay. Staley, his Charger's HC stint notwithstanding was seenby RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
There are a few things that are obvious but frustrating in football. HC's that are considered offensive geniuses greatly prefer the passing game over the run game. Shanny was better than most but even he went pass happy in the Super Bowl for stretches. Any coach can call a run play true "geniuses" design intricate passing plays.

Since the season is over I started thinking about how our Rams can match up against the reigning Champs the Chiefs. The I realized the Spagnola problem.

I think you admitted to lurk around the board from time to time, could you please ask around on this and see if this is true?

A lot of people myself included were not aware of what was going on at the end of overtime. The apparent lack of urgency from the Chiefs in overtime. Even MJD admitted he was confused. However Mahomes and Kelce noted how the Chiefs went over and over the new overtime rules and they knew there was no need for fearing the OT time running out at the end of the first OT period it would just go to nexby RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRidgewood Ram I’m ready to move on from Morris. Mr. Softie wasn’t cutting it anymore. Ridge you are about see that style of defense wasn't a Morris thing but a McVay thing. He told Morris what type of defense he wanted when he hired him. He has also reportedly told Shula the same thing.

Our teams are built similarly. Elite QB, elite offensive coach, an elite offensive weapon and an elite inside pass rusher. We lack elite corners though. That plus Deebo anguish, I am happy. The 2nd best thing to a Ram's chip, is a painful Niners loss.by RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteEkern55 We know McVay trends towards impatience—don’t we all. But at times he looked like he was chomping at the bit on the sidelines during some of those long drives against his D. I think with Shula he’ll have more game management input than he did with Raheem. I think he let Morris do his thing. So, we might see more pressures from the D.

Bucky I feel the same. Maybe we can pluck another position guy off of the Ravens tree. Sometimes like that Browns staff back in the day (Bellicheat, Saban, ect) or that Redskins staff (McVay, Shanny, Lefleur, ect) you can have a serious brain trust, maybe McVay tries another guy off that staff?

Speed I get your point the Rams need a quality backup QB period end of sentence. Quality backups cost money. Money the Rams weren't inclined to spend for quite some time.

When hiring the youngest coach in the league, potential ownership needs reassurances that the young HC won't crap the bed, bringing in a long tenured HC as your DC allows the young coach to concentrate on his side of the ball, trusting the other side to the veteran HC, and also having a sounding board when the inevitable unexpected happens. I don't get the feeling that McVay is looking for that aby RamsDynasty - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan I don't get the Ravens Defense love for our DC.......Rams smoked em' and should have won that game. Go to Seattle, thank you.......I like that for our Rams!
