I don’t watch the WWF because I know it’s fake and don’t want to waste my time. I barely watch basketball because it’s become commercialized and the officiating is the tool the NBA uses to get the more favorably marketed teams into the windfall zone. But the Mexican stadium is filled with 49er fans. Gee. Who’s getting all the calls? Who’s tackling defensive linemen as they approach Garapolo wby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Players drafted by the Rams (or signed) that are making significant impact on other teams are Jonathan Franklin Myers and Tanzel Smart in the Jets and Seabass and Troy Reeder on the Chargers. Reeder did force a fumble tonight. Haven’t seen a lot of that this season from our linebackers. Also got to recognize John JohnsonIIIby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
They weren’t enough to move the needs. There really are two problems: Pass and run blocking. Soft pass coverage. If Burns could sack the QB in one second flat, then he helps.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

He’s got to know he’s been tagged. If he doesn’t know coaches have his number, he’s not who we think he is. But he is. How’s that for clarity?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
That’s the thing. I can’t see him staying with coaching if he doesn’t figure out why other teams have his number presently. But his desire to learn and his capacity to be honest with himself—inspite of his stubbornness which afflicts all coaches—means he’ll figure this out. Probably sooner than later. But this season made his weaknesses really stand out. the notion that the organization partby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here’s what I’ve concluded. You can teach a tight end to catch. You can teach a tight end to run routes. But you can’t teach a tight end who’s unwilling to block to block. If this young is a willing blocker and can block, then draft him.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
This is why I say McVay is 2/3rd a great coach. He’s pedestrian in the run game. Doesn’t know it, so he under appreciates it. If any reason this season will be good for him—assuming he doesn’t move to TV—is it forces his hand to learn and value the run game.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
You’re spot on. They have to expand character type in their drafts. With the exception of Nick Scott’s hit on Deebo last year, I’m not seeing killers getting drafted. People can say, well, that’s dirty. Do you want the Rams to draft players that are going to hurt people? The answer is no. But other teams are drafting those guys, so that forces your hand. IT’S NOT CONTRADICTORY TO DRAFT Hby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteThe Rams OL is bare. They insist on Allen as their starting center, when he just doesn't have the bulk to hang with most of these big, strong interior lineman. Last 2 weeks as proof. Their OGs are awful. With maybe Bruss as a future starter? Another example. Rams drafted Terrell Burgess ahead of Tyler Biadasz. Quote 6a. I think McVay is either burnt out or rapidly burning out.

To take a little heat off Tutu since he’ll ever be connected to Creed Humphrey, we drafted Terrell Burgess ahead of another center who starts on a playoff bound team: Tyler Biadasz, Dallas Cowboys. :Sby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, at least we won’t have John Shaw in charge of the draft.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree. He still looks like he’s getting out of the blocks fast. I want to see him retire as a Ram but if it’s more mediocre ball here in his future, then perhaps he’ll nod yes for a trade. Sad day if that happens.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, here’s how that plays out: if other coaches are game planning against McVay’s weakness, they know he’s impatient and they know they want to win the time of possession. So, they’d stack the box to get McVay quickly out of a run centered game plan. McVay’s too transparent unfortunately. So, the ease of reading him—the impatient coach that loves chunk plays, are already built into the pricby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Dude won us a super bowl. Give him a modicum of respect at least. IMO he deserves more. Look, he’s not a perfect coach. He’d admit it. But he’s got to figure out that football is a violent game. He’s clueless on that. Sure. He’s acknowledge it is. But he does not get it, period.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
That definitely sent a wrong message. And no Whitworth either. It does look like McVay has coaches that aren’t challenging him and his mind’s sharpness isn’t getting the the steal sharpens steal treatment.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
