Has me the most concerned. New place, no familiarity, unpacking more boxes and suitcases. Then, up the road flight to SF. Only 2 things can happen, and only one is good.........Come together as a team, overcome some adversity and beat the Whiners on Monday Night to go 1-0 in the new season.....Then, open up the Coliseum vs, Seattle with another win and go 2-0 out of the gates. GO RAMS!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
This was our biggest signing this off season for our offense IMHO. We have not even seen the tip of the iceberg with our changes on offensive schemes. I have noticed that Fisher has allowed about a 50/50 ratio to plays under center and QB in shot gun formation. That is Groh's influence to the offense. We need our QB's to see the field in certain situations and Boras and Groh have been ableby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
By far my favorite Football Coach........This guy always has his team ready to play.....If we ever have a HC vacancy on the Rams, Coach Kelly would be getting the job if he wanted it.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
That's what i was thinking going over roster cuts.......No new faces,by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
QB Position..... Goff should just sit down and go to QB school. Like Bobcarl pointed out, you need to know the offense forward, backword and sideways. It's not just calling the plays. It's understanding where everyone is at on the field, all 22 players, not just your 11. One thing you can't coach is leadership and instincts. How to be a leader of a team and, when the play is happening, havby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Vikings were desperate and thought they had to make a move.......Go see if you can get a veteran QB so you don't lose the vets and the locker room. Players need to see the organization do what it takes to win.....not sit on their hands and do nothing. The best they could do is get Bradford. For a very pricey cost. SB has yet to play like a #1 pick, fool's gold comes to mind. You think he isby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Yip......He got rolled up on from the side and injured his leg.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Let's just beat the WHINERS and all of us Ram Fans will be happy!!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Exactly GRITS..... I also spoke to him during Camp.......He said "Coach told me not to rush it". That tells me, he is on the roster. He has made some very good catches early, along with Cooper.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Rookie QB's never played in the 70's and 80's.........They put on a baseball cap and learned from the vets.....Never were expected to start from day 1. Today, everyone wants to rush things and throw the QB out there before he is ready.... We have a vet in Keenum... He will give it to Gurley 20+ times a game....We can use the entire playbook and not think twice about it....We can win earlyby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
A few back in the day :):):). Let's go beat the WHINERS this week !!!!!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
IMHO....This is where we see SNISHER make a difference. We need an impact WR on the outside and there has to be a better one than Quick out there somewhere. I'd hate to see Thomas or McRoberts be roster casualties in order to keep Quick. To me, I see to much upside in those 2 WR's.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I was just saying what went through my mind at that time. Being a HS Math Teacher.......I have 185 students walk through my door every day.....Back in 1987, I never had to tell students to put cell phones away. Now, these kids have to be taught "Cell Phone Etiquette". Some kids are addicted to those things. So, when I see that on HardKnocks, I notice it right away......We have no idby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Quick has had his 3 years, time to move on. I would rather go with some new WR's because Quick has had his chance. Personally, I would keep my eyes on the cuts and bring in another veteran WR to go opposite Britt and open up some routes for the young WR's.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Only stating the obvious......Any of you ever start a new job? You know the feeling? Only things to know on Day 1.... Don't be late! Bathroom? Time Clock? Remember the TV Show Kung Fu? "Young Grasshopper, when you can snatch pebble from hand, then you are ready," Remember Yoda on Star Wars? "Young Jedi. There is Do or Do not. There is no try." I have coached HS Foby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He still needs to learn the offense, so maybe by week 4-5 SB will take over. Heck, this is SB's 5th offense???by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I felt the same way.........Told my wife the same thing...."Goff quickly puts the cell phone away when Coach walks in. I think he should be studying the playbook and stop trying to catch poke man. Like watching film is much more of what he needs then being on that darn thing." I got the same feeling........by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
This team is better than most of us think.......No Gurley, Austin, Havenstein all pre-season. This team is a different beast with #30 in the backfield. He played 1 series vs. Chiefs and we walked down the field and scored a TD. Kept offense simple and did not show anything to other teams. Not even 1 TA reverse or misdirection play. Snisher finally gets us a Division Title.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Cut....I Battle....Had a bad game, must still be hurting from his injury. Makes team......McRoberts......Best of our bubble WR's. Added note..............Tough decisions to make at the RB position. I really think we must have the deepest RB stable in the NFL. Really! We have some "DUDES" that all have the ability to play in this league......Gurley, Cunningham, Brown....Green, MaGeby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I know one thing.......Goff is coming around just fine, and to rush him would be a big mistake. I want us to win EARLY and get out of the gates fast this season. Thus, Keenum will get the nod. Problem is, some Fans do not understand that Fisher has been saying this all along, yet fans get upset that our #1 pick is not starting. Let Fisher Coach and stop wondering how much time he spends wiby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Just wondering how you would know all that. What you see on TV and Hard Knocks is just a tidbit of what actually goes on. Plus, when it comes to showing any plays or actual "Coaching in Classroom" there is nothing shown. No NFL HC is going to ever let that be filmed, so to say Fisher is never with Goff is not really accurate. I bet he makes his way around to all the meetings and is sby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I would give Goff all the reps I can tonight......Then, when he is ready and earns the right to start, then we can go in that direction. Just like Fisher has been saying ever since we drafted Goff......Keenum is our starter until Jared is ready.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Keenum has been the best QB in pre-season, simple as that. Mannion had one good game. Goff has done both good and bad, but flashed really good at times. To go in to week #1 with a limited playbook, not a good idea. Play Case because he clearly is our best QB right now......Until he gets injured or somebody at QB is better than him, Keenum is our starter.......And, we will win with him at QB...by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Never want to hear news like that. He throws right handed, so dropping back to throw, grabbing his left leg. There must be something more.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Tired of them. They had more penalties than dropped passes tonight, and that sums it up in a nutshell. 1. WR's......I am sure that your coach has told you, anyone that catch the football can make this team. All you have to do is catch it. Seems to me there are only a few guys that can do that. 2. Penalties.........Lack of discipline will kill you. Heck, the first play on defense tonight waby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We kicked their butts in recent years......About 10 highlight hits a year or 2 ago where the defense literally de-cleated about 4 WR's on crossing routes. I agree............it is going to be a great test to see how we are improving as a team. First road game action......by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy takes the easy way out to make a statement........Why not donate all the millions of dollars you made from playing a game to all the organizations that actually help people in need. Maybe help fix up housing in the big cities.....Do something that will make a difference or help a cause with all the money you made in the USA?by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Let him get in some type of rhythm, break a good sweat and see if he can get to the QB. He has not played in a long time. Let's kick the rust off and have him see where he is at physically........It's time to find out where he is at as a football player.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Totally agree that we have a great situation at RB.....I just think behind our OL that Gurley is going to set the NFL on fire this season. Adding Mike Groh to help coordinate the offense and put together a legit passing attack is going to get this offense moving. I bet Gurley will become an all around threat because the second the defense stacks up in the box, #30 will motion out of the backfieldby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
