Quotestlramz Who, for a brief moment was the best player on the planet. Fishers Achilles heel was the offense. Agree with Dz it was offensive. The Rob Boras hire underscored how he treated this offense. A failure to evolve.... For me, Jeff Fisher served his purpose. He's like the big gas tank on the space shuttle. He helped to get us off the ground but after that, he becomes a hindrancby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus there are ways that I still think he's very under-rated. Seattle made a BIG mistake not surrounding this guy with a strong OL. So bad, in fact, that Wilson made a point to finally bring it up after years of staying quiet and in-house about it. I sure hope the new offense system gets Wilson more time and better "looks" - so his OL doesn't need to hold their blby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam Fisher had the final decision making on player acquisition. You just have to live with the idea that not everyone sees everything the same as you. Fisher didn't have the final decision on injuries. For example, name the last team you can think of where 2 players come back from a knee injury only to injure it again (Long and Bradford). Two on the same team, same year both times. Anby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLeoram NFL defenses require tactical proficiency and emotional drive. Last year's defense was a result of internal player leadership (Donald, Ramsey, JJ) and a unique strategy developed by both Staley and McVay. Morris' style reminds me of Saleh who was very effective as a coordinator for the 9'ers. I think his approach is genuine and natural and fits McVay's to a tee.

QuoteLMU93 I think they are poised to improve quite a bit from 2020 obviously. But, while I was underwhelmed when the Rams signed Jackson and still pretty skeptical about him (staying healthy), I will say if he DOES play 12+ games they could sniff 500+ points. The threat he gives that can open things up elsewhere is legit. I agree on Jackson. Plus Jefferson probably deepens that unit and givesby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteStafford9 That includes all of them' I think Akers will surprise you. He's not at anything like a Dickerson, Faulk, Jackson, healthy Gurley level. But he is a top back.

QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus Quotezn Pressing was often just disastrous when he(Goff) did it. This is the key. Goff is very good when in a rhythm but when he gets flustered or tries to press Goff tries to make throws he cannot make or scramble like he's in slow motion oblivious to ball security.
