Not at all Rock - 3 years ago
QuoteRockRam It has been many years since we've had as good and pragmatic Rams' writer as Jourdan. o She has had a lot of experience and time to compare players, plays, coaches, etc. to. A lot more than any of us. She has access to info we don't have, and has said often that some of it she can't share. And because she stays true to her word, the Rams' brain trust clearly has a level of trustby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
Interesting part of the article for me - 3 years ago
was this part... "He (Allen) was ranked as the 12th best offensive center in the NFL by Pro Football Focus recently, While that is a bit higher than expected, PFF does tend to rank pass protection and immobile offensive linemen higher. What does that mean? Well, Brian Allen tends to seek out one defender to block, and holds that block through the play until the whistle. A more mobile aby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteNewMexicoRam While they, a team who has never reached a SB, know how to do that. Essentially calling McVay an ignoramus. I look at results. The results are clear. Campbell should have kept his mouth shut about the Rams while having all the right to talk about his own QBs development without the team coaching comparison. I guess we read that differently NMR! :beercan It's interesby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
But NMR... - 3 years ago
QuoteNewMexicoRam ....is that a Detroit QB goes to LA and wins a SB, something Goff couldn't get done. I think it's foolish for the Detroit coach to say publicly what he said. If Cooks catches only 1 of those long balls from Goff, maybe the outcome is different? I guess we'll never know but if he did, Goff might have been SB MVP. Also, didn't McVay sign Goff to a new contract AFTER that Sby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

Yup DD and ABQ Nailed it down pretty good - 3 years ago
It's all water under the bridge now but I do feel kinda bad for Goff. Good or bad. He was a loyal Ram. He won a lot of games for us. He became the first "real" QB we had in years. We paid him too early and McVay obviously felt he couldn't "develop" Goff any further. IMO, he could have if he wanted to but it would have taken longer than just going out and getting Staby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
