QuoteBigGame81 That's a name to watch out for if McVay hires LaFleur as the new OC. Wouldn't he be in line to start next year if he were to re-sign with the Jets?by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
If I were the Rams, I'd target Sam Darnold for the primary back-up QB position (don't care if they draft a late-round rookie to stash on the practice squad). Although I'm sure that he'd like to be a starter somewhere...with Carr, Mayfield, and Crapollo out there, I think that Darnold could be left without a seat when the music stops. At his age (and with $30M in the bank), I think that it cby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield <snipped> I think he knows that but he simply may not have the players on the LOS who can dominate IDK Waterfield...I have some questions about the type of player McVay wants on his OL. Hear me out... When McVay arrived on the scene for the 2017 season, the Rams had 3 of their starting O-linemen set: LG Rodger Saffold (6-5, 324-lbs); RG Jamon Brown (6-4, 340-lby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotepromomasterj I'm too lazy to look it up, but it seems like maybe he was our DC for one season? Is that right? Did he have a track record before that? He might have been over-hyped for the Chargers job (was he really the best option). It's not like he had years of high level DC experience. Or did he? Brandon Staley's first gig as an NFL DC came with the Rams in the 2020 season. He dby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler Lack of run game maybe? Has to be. Run blocking has been a problem area for the team for the past couple of seasons. So, although Samples may have contributed to the lack of production this season...McVay might think that it wasn't all on him.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotepromomasterj I wouldn't be surprised if Irsay kept Saturday as his coach. Is he really interested in Raheem or is this Rooney rule show? Until further evidence comes into play, the "Rooney Rule" checkbox shouldn't be discounted. With that said, Jim Irsay has shown that he's more than willing to hire African-Americans head coaches (e.g. Tony Dungy and Jim Caldwell).by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I rooted for the Cowboys last year in the playoffs as I didn't want the Rams to face San Francisco in the NFCCG. And although I don't have a dog in the fight this year, I'm still going for the Cowboys.

I'll have a go at this. I believe that Aaron Donald is retiring. Here's my tin-foil hat rationale for my completely unfounded belief: 1) Donald flirted with retirement at the end of last season - especially once the team was unable to resign Von Miller and wasn't able to acquire any other talent on the DL. The team told him that they'd try to get help at the trade deadline and a skepticby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
They tanked (allegedly) in order to get a franchise QB in 2020. They selected Tua instead of Herbert. After 2 injury-plaugued seasons, the organization undermines Tua by failing to get him weapons and openly discussing trading him for DeShaun Watson. Finally, Tua begins to experience some success this season after the team gets a new HC and spends big money in free agency. But then the cby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteBerendsenRam <snipped> He was gone so quick in 2020 I still think he didn't put together a good game plan vs the Packers in the Playoffs. GO RAMS! I think we gave up 32 points in that game. I don't hold it against him, though, as I believe that AD was only playing with one arm in that game. Not having him at full strength surely hampered the defensive game plan.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteClassicalwit <snipped> ...stupid play calls in the red zone this week. To be clear...you're referencing the Charger defensive play-calling in the red zone, right?

He's steeped in knowledge of the Vic Fangio defense. There's NO ONE who can run it better outside of Fangio himself. Why, if it were ANY OTHER DC trying to run that defense, they would've given up 25 2nd half points to the JAGS instead 24! Can't wait to get him back with McVay!

Quotesstrams would be, "will he go back to HIS defensive strategy or continue the Fangio thing?" I would guess HIS dealio, but that's a new system for the defense, but with the same dude.. My guess is that Morris would likely want a Fangio-style of defense and would hire a DC that prefers to run it as well.

Man...you're taking me back 21. A couple of things: 1) Wow! USC had quite a run with the RB's back then. I was born in 1970, so I became "conscious" of football around 1975-76. I thought that Ricky Bell, Charles White, and Marcus Allen were "it." It was awhile before I came to know that Sam Cunningham and OJ Simpson had set the standard before them. 2) (LOL!)
