They happen relatively rarely (especially for DT's). What is the impact of your DL on every play where they're not getting a sack? Check out this article for more insight: "Aaron Donald led all interior defenders with 82 total pressures this season, a mark that tied for third overall in the NFL.

Why would you get rid of talent once you have it, just to acquire more risk and mediocrity? AD is the best DT in the NFL, and he is arguably the best DL in football (given Watt's health issues). DL is arguably the most important position in football next to QB. He deserves to be paid accordingly, and the Rams would be foolish not to give him that contract.by rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
Put it this way, is Tavon even half as valuable to a football team as one Julio? My point is that signing Donald will not be our undoing. Signing contracts like this is what ruins your roster: Cortland Finnegan 5 $50M Scott Wells 4 $25.5M Jared Cook 5 $35M Rodger Saffold 5 $31M Akeem Ayers 2 $6M Lance Kendricks 4 $18.5M Nick Foles 2 $24.5M Coty Sensabaugh 3 $19M Tavoby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com

It wasn't that I found his language 'offensive', it's just that it felt like he could've spent more time game planning than trying to fire his players up. I don't think he was a bad DC, I just think Wade will be an upgrade.by rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm very excited to watch an improved offense this year (nowhere to go but up), but he's right that we still face a lot of challenges. -First year scheme installs are always tough (although the same can be said for the D) -Goff is basically a rookie -Our defense simply has more talented guys -Our defense was already much better than our offense, and could be a Top 5 unit this year -Theby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
"Wade plays a more aggressive 3-4 than other teams" was pretty much it. I'm really interested in this stuff though. Does anyone have more detailed breakdowns of Wade's scheme, or McVay's offense in Washington? Would much rather fill my offseason days watching film than reading about contract drama or practice squad cuts.by rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
The media needs something to write about. Both of these teams are well coached, and still present a significant challenge. Don't forget that we have our own storylines, specifically the "Culture of Losing" that we supposedly need to overcome. It does seem like the future is brighter right now for us and the Niners than for the other two though...looking forward to a renewal of tby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not just out with the old, in with the new. I think one of the specific reasons McVay is an improvement is his ability to communicate with players and teach them the nuances of a very complicated game. Fish and Williams seemed to do more yelling and motivating than real communicating. Of course, there's a whole lot to being a head coach that Fisher learned from experience, and we shouldnby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
Because it's the offseason. Does it bother anyone else that GW was portrayed as "The Villain" in the Saints' "Revenge Game" against us last year? I was as happy to see us lit up as anyone (I wanted Fisher fired), but I don't understand why Payton was portrayed as the good guy in that game. He was COMPLICIT in the Bountygate situation and suspended for it. It's not likeby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
But it's also possible that you're just remembering more of the 'off coverage' situations because they tend to be the more frustrating plays. It's awful watching us give up several 4 yard plays and experience death by a thousand cuts. The reality is that all DCs use a mixture of press and soft coverage, but I don't know how that will change with Wade.by rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
But this is about as 'coach speak' as it gets. It's up to you to decide how high to get your hopes (my limit is pretty high this year, personally), but just remember how much harder the fall will be :beercanby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
Perhaps it's because I was watching the show fresh off of that Rich Eisen interview with McVay, and obviously hindsight is 20/20, but I found it impossible to take Fisher or Williams seriously for this exact reason. I kept trying to picture Bill Belichick yelling at his players like that and I just couldn't do it. It's like the best Fisher & Co. could offer was some sort of high schooby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com
I finished All or Nothing. Pretty enjoyable, especially the parts with McVay. One person stuck out to me more than anyone else though: John Fassel. What an impressive guy. The picture of humility, just shows up and gets the job done. Loved by his players, but also works them hard enough to be a top ST unit in the league. I'm not saying he's HC material, but I'm damn proud to have him asby rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com

I don't blame our 4-12 record on our high spending. The point is that we are a terrible football team DESPITE spending the 3rd most in the league. That means we are giving big contracts to bad players. Which would presumably be Snead's fault.by rambleon - RamsFootballFans.com

Yes: Watching us win football games is fun. Once you're in the playoffs anything can happen...and if there's one thing this team is good at, it's beating teams they shouldn't That's a recipe for a ring :) No: This team is not an SB contender.
