Quotezn Quotewv ram Fisher will toss the ball around, when the pieces are in place. I mean, just watching that bullet, Goff zinged down the middle, was a...ray of sunshine. The passing game is coming. Soon, i would think. Yes? No? w v They already have done it and that was without all the pieces on offense. In 2014, they were 18th in passing play percentage (58.73%) In 2013,by wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er The NFL today is a passing league because teams have discovered the most efficient route to points is through the air. Teams that are either unwilling or unable to do that are at an offensive disadvantage, though not categorically doomed. Well, assuming for argument's sake that's true, I dont think Fisher is 'unwilling' to pass the ball. I think they've had ACL issues, and OLby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, it just depends what we mean by the term "its a passing league". I dunno what "I" mean when i use the term, or what anyone else means. But it's possible, i might mean something like this: The NFL has changed some rules and its easier to pass now, than it was back in the 70's, and its a really nice thing to have a QB like Brady or Aaron Rogers. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemoklerman From 1985 - 1991, Chuck Noll had 4/7 losing seasons and they canned him after his long history with the team. Seems like they might not be too patient about 4 straight losing seasons. Yeah, i live in Steeler country, so i remember the Noll situation. They thought the game had 'passed him by'. Sound familiar? :) I really dont think the game has passed Fisher by.

Quotemoklerman It sort of reminds me of the patience the Rooney's had with Bill Cowher. Of course, he was regularly in the playoffs but just couldn't get over the hump. Yeah, the Rooney's are patient types, but I kinda doubt the Rooney's would have kept Fisher after four losing seasons. I dunno, though. Maybe. Kronky still believes in Snisher. For better or worse.

QuoteJamesJM That's how I see it.... a man his size and 13lbs? Barely noticeable, I would think. He says the right things, he did improve, and for me I don't think he was 'terrible' to begin with. Where he was chosen in the draft? That doesn't look good... but if he gets it together, which I think he will, it won't matter. - JamesJM ....well...what if he blows out his ACL EARDRUMS?

QuoteRustyRay For a guy this size 13 pounds is nothing. Take one look at him, he is nowhere near obese. He worked and trained all offseason, he hasnt ever been accused of being out of shape or fat or not working hard. Where he has had issues is pass blocking and getting the technique down where it was clear that was an issue coming out of college, well he worked with Bentley this offseaby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemoklerman But they "lost" Bledsoe, Brady stepped up. When Brady went down, they had Cassell. Now, Garappolo. My point, losing Bradford shouldn't excuse Fisher from winning games. Well how many coaches and organizations are as good as Belichick/Patriots ? I think we all are in agreement that Fisher is not as good as Belichick. No argument there. No-one ever changesby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er That's an excuse masquerading as meaningful context. We know this because we know Snisher had a losing record with Bradford as a starter (he didn't move the needle). Snisher has a losing record overall and has losing record for 4 consecutive seasons. That kind of "context" can be meaningful for small sample sizes, not for large ones. But even then, you need to includeby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 It's true that through four seasons Fisher's defenses have been what I'd call inconsistent vs. the run. They've been top 10 once (2013- and 3rd in YPC that year) but last year were 14th in YPC and 13th in rushing yards allowed. The Rams have had plenty of strong games vs. the run- 28 of 64 games allowing under 100 yards (and they're 17-11 in those games). But they've also had farby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteTonyHunter87 Yeah they even held a parade afterwards smh. That was bush league on fishers part imo. Well, i think certain sports-games are so painful for some of the losing-participants that they 'never' quite get over it. I mean, listen to John Madden some time on the Immaculate Reception.

Quote9er8er They produce regardless. Gurley and Donald are prime examples of that. Doesn't mean they have been maximized, but they produce because they are really good at playing football.

Quotelaram Fast forward its a HUGE day for Rams fans as well as football fans in general, playing in front of a record crowd and the Rams starters come out and lay an egg. HTH does that continue to happen? . I wonder what Fisher's philosophy is, for the first preseason game. I mean, maybe he doesn't care how intense the solid-starters are for the first game.

QuoteRFL... still thinking that a Fisher led Rams team will once again stumble to a 7-9 record, losing 4-5 winnable games along the way.

Quotewaterfield His throws were precise with steam. He has a great arm and is extremely accurate. The interception was because he was hit while throwing. He will be a very good qb for a long time.

QuoteRam Rock ...Todd Gurley of which you speak? You think he may make the cut Wv? ;) Seriously though, I agree with you. I think Fisher is going to give the Rooks a chance to shake things up and have a strong competition at WR. We need to have that group make improvement over last year.
