He's made no secret of his distaste for LA. And can you blame the guy if he doesn't want to spend the last couple years of his career playing in a soccer stadium?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That...will be hilarious. 30,000 in silver and black. Hope Spanos has a secret tunnel dug so he can get to his car after the game without getting assaulted by raider nation.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure why I'm warming to that idea. It's got a lot of potential downside - like, would the old man actually fire his own son if the time came, but Mike in the Football VP role is more comforting than Demoff in that role. Kind of like what the Jaguars are doing - though I'm ready that situation is a mess as Coughlin was never in on any of the HC interviews (wtf?) I do worry about McVay laby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Spanos can't find a partner (or several) to help build a stadium complex in the city everyone wants them to stay in, but is somehow going to pay $650 million in relocation fees to rent someone else's stadium. He's done about all he can to alienate the Charger Fan base, but now they're supposed to drive 3 hours plus (football traffic) to watch the team that left them? No plan on where theby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Didn't he take over playcalling this year? How is he at developing QB's? Passing game? No thanks. Rather hire a DC with a good connection to an established play caller or hire an OC who's called plays for more than 14 games or so.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd be more worried if they panicked and just picked someone because of some arbitrary deadline like getting ready for the senior bowl. If you really want a guy to lead you for the next decade or more, take your time and find the right guy. Instead of 'mr right now'.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That's not good defense. It's not like they were lining up against AP in his prime. Seahawks O-line is suspect. Playoff game aside - Lions Overall defensive rankings are in the bottom half of the league. Why would you pass on an offensive coach for a guy with these kind of mediocre defensive stats? Vance Joseph's team stats look even worse. Not sure Denver's infatuation with him exceptby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They way Austin's defense got run over by the Seahawks, and really weren't good against the run down the stretch of the regular season - what's the appeal? Holmgren on the radio broadcast even brought up all the missed gap assignments and how it seemed like guys were 'freelancing' on defense. Not really excited by this guyby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They had said they were going to get their guy by the middle of january. Well that rules out these 2 as this is the last time either of them can be interviewed for a couple weeks, maybe longer. What if one of both of them go to the Super Bowl. Does the team have the patience to wait until February to hire their guy? If it's the right guy they should wait. Something tells me they won't wait tby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Because he sounds good on a podcast? Because he went to Dartmouth? Ask the fans, government officials and business people in St. Louis how trustworthy the guy is. We all saw the news screen shot.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
New coach should mean new assistants and coordinators. Our defense has never been at the top on anything. They are not a complete @#$%& show like our offense so he looks good by comparison but our goofy 'big nickel' got worked this year and we blew a couple of late leads in games. Plus how many bonehead defensive penalties were on him or on Fisher?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The guy was a waste with our stone age system - but is thriving in Green Bay's slightly more 'modern' offenseby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Nice, a search with confirmation bias built right in. Any coach who tells them how many problems they have will be ruled out - they will focus on candidates who tell them what they want to hear. Now there's talk they want to keep Greg Williams. It's more of this - 'we're so close' crap that's kept them home from the playoffs for over a decade. We have great personnel and a great defense, jby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
No culture or identity that they want to create and have a head coach who fits that mold. More of - just hire a guy and make it up as you go along.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't share your optimism that he knows what he's doing. Have you seen the AVS lately? Worst team in the league.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Demoff needs to hire Casserly or Wolf or someone to consult on the coaching search. Maybe he has. Or hire several consultants and get a range of analysis. This organization has gotten it wrong over and over for so long, there is no reason to believe they will get it right this time.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
First they target guys that either are already under contract with someone else (Pete Carroll / Sean Payton) or don't want to coach (Gruden) - then they're interviewing half the assistants in the league, some of whom have never even been coordinators. Seems unfocused, and rather like throwing spaghetti at the wall. Demoff obviously doesn't know much about the current coaching landscape in the lby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
My money's on that.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Thought it was curious with McGinnis and Williams - both with extensive head coaching experience as options. The team seemed to actually get worse with Fassel. Not that I expected much from him, but for the last couple games at least, it would have been nice to see the game plan change a little. Roll Goff out / move the pocket. Maybe some hurry-up, anything to change the dynamic. I don't knoby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
THAT Bill Devaney? If anyone knows talent evaluation and Quarterbacks its...not...him.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Three separate threads all about his 'wobbly' passes, wounded ducks and 'stumbling around'. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you don't give up the kind of draft capital we did and then not give the player at least 2 or 3 seasons to develop. So you're going to be stuck watching his noodle arm fling wobbly wounded balls into the dirt for another couple of years.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Would be an oddball situation. If things aren't working out - who gets to axe who?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Including 3 seasons with no playoffs. RG3 had hurt the knee badly before the playoffs and should have never played that game - that's on him. I do agree he is a very good offensive coach and really knows how to establish and develop a great running game. Not sure how great he is as a personnel guy and he will ask for that power as he had it in Denver and Washington Also not seeing theby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He has been part of this offensive train wreck for the past 5 years. And you want to keep him?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not sure I can even tell what concepts they're going for. They're in and out of the i, then it's runs from shotgun - like picking formations out of a hat. They allow defenders to come free on runs and passes - are these mistakes or is it drawn up that way? They almost never go no huddle but when they do it seems to work ok. They refuse to move the pocket with Goff and roll him oby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You can't just say they played hard but missed assignments, took bad untimely penalites, dropped passes, etc. That's not playing hard. Part of playing hard is mental focus and emotional discipline and they had neither. Running 100 miles an hour in the wrong direction doesn't qualify as effort.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
So we got that answered last night. Real statement game. The statement was - 'pardon us as we run for the exits and book our offseason travel plans'by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
So glad he was in the owner's box last night with Stanley and Kevin. In brains we trustby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Sorry, I watched those guys play, sometimes live. They were not much more than average. And making 1 pro bowl is not a hallmark of a great QB. As far as RG3 - letting him flop around with a broken knee wasn't his fault?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
