but there are many coaches who are good at "talking around" the question without even answering it. lol They're not outright lying though. If you don't really answer something, it can't be a lie, can it? Always keep them guessing!by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 He’d make a fine politician. This is typical "McVay speak" also known as "coach speak" or any politician when asked a question. They never really give you the answer you want to hear. What they do tell you is what they "want" you to know, not necessarily the truth or the answer you were looking for. I stopped listening to McVay's pressers and iby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteKRams If opposing QBs are going to continue getting rid of the ball in 2-2.5 seconds like they have against the Rams, (and I believe they will continue), wouldn't an Edge Rusher have to be in the backfield in under 2 seconds to have any impact? You are correct KRams except I think it would be closer to the 2 second mark. Do you know anyone who has that ability to do that consistently and bby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator The Secondary played better last season and tackled... not great.. but a lot better than this year. No pass rush is gonna matter if QBs are dumping the ball in 2 seconds. Not even Miller can stop that. Not even this guy could stop those under 2 second throws! (No this isn't Tutu despite the similarities!) :lol3by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJoeMad you give a good NFL QB time to throw, he will pick apart any elite secondary. Time to throw as well as uncontested routes for his WR's will allow an "average" QB to look good while picking apart your secondary. :thumbsupby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRustyRay I hate the fact that when I try to post on my phone it cuts most of my thread off and it's just gone once I hit post. Anyway Purdy is playing well but any QB with a pulse will play well on that team if he is coachable and does what he is supposed to do in that system. He is doing exactly what this team wants from its QB...stay within himself and take what the D gives you. He is jby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRam_Ruler QuoteRamgator As long as we play soft coverage / bend / don't break, I say just get some Average Joe or keep what we have. Then I'd go Top Of The Class across the board on O line. Because the current system puts a helluva lot of pressure on the O to score and not only be leading late in the 4th but by MORE than one TD and 2 point Conversion.

QuoteRamgator Tackling is very weak. SEVERAL times this year, ESPECIALLY in the opener vs Buffalo, I saw lame efforts and several guys observing. I agree Gator. I have seen the lack of effort at times too from some players. Does it seem like we hardly ever have more than one or two guys on a tackle? Where is the "swarm to the ball" mentality?by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator Must the players have a Physical instinct for it to work? Can anyone think of a Secondary that was soft Coached into being bruisers? It's hard to be physical when the scheme requires you to play soft. We have some very physical players IMO, but they are not able to show it in this system. I am not sure any CB would look "physical" in our soft zone. :rolleyes Evenby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM I get ya, Ramsdude, but don't really agree. I think the priority of 'bend but don't break' philosophy of any scheme or permutation he calls makes it look that way but I doubt if it's actually the case that he coaches a 'one size fits all' game.

QuoteJamesJM the permutations the Rams use from the scheme. That's where I fault Morris... I think he 'guesses' wrong a LOT. And I don't mean 'guess' in the sense that he's playing craps every play... I mean setting the scheme and the specific permutation based on what he thinks is the 'most likely' play coming.

QuoteBerendsenRam Like to have another bigger longer armed CB like JR to pair with him that can be physical at the point of attack. GO RAMS! I'm not sure we have a "point of attack" in this scheme. If we "do" have one it is at least 8-10 yards from the line of scrimmage. Also, with our Ultra Soft zone every play, I'm not sure I can call it an "attack" either!
