And, yes....norv may retire. just sayin, if Fisher hires a different vet OC then it would help greatly. imo But it may be too much now - like the deal with Bradford...even if he stays there is now too much water under the bridge. I dunno...we'll see how it shakes out.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I've been in lock step with yer posts! LOL are we dancing? ;) Thanks for postin here, bro! You , zn & wv...it's nice to have ya'll postin here these days...it's good readin!! btw - I don't use the "g"-ending on many words to show that I'm good-natured & "folksy"... is it workin? ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and not just wish the HCs will grow & become winning HCs despite their past production. Hiring failed HCs doesn't make sense yet nearly every team does it. I mean, JackDelRio...who would hire that failed HC? How HE would get a job is beyond me! ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
along with some winning but it'll hardly be worht the headache...remember Martz and he strained FO relatioships?! It''l be the same w/Harbough. If He loses to to Ohio St...why would we bring in an HC that can win the big one? I don't want Harbough or any other kind of HC that doesn't work well with others.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
never did....just as an OC. Like what I would want from Martz if he came to the Rams....their specialty!by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
we may win...but he'll burn/destroy the FO and ownership and be gone in 3-5yrs...even if they are winning!!! Just like in SanFran....winning doesn't even mean what we think. We saw Martz get fired...for winning. Marty Schotty got fired after a 21-4 season. iirc... what I'm saying is WINNING doesn't even solve dysfuntion...it can hide it for a few years...but when there are some down times...by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Below is a real nice article from Matt Ryan this past summer that explains it better... ======================================== Article ..some of his Q&A... Besides the mental pressure applied by the defense, there's pressure on fundamentals to be as efficient as possible, right? The big thing in throwing now, you have to be able to throw from any platform because the timing ofby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
we get an even avg(15th) offense in scoring and ARE competing for the play-offs. imo "Missed it by ____that much!" lolby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I dunno...the media might be right about everything...it just doesn't make sense to me. I just don't think that Jenks was the high priority that they say he was. Everyone knows ya can't keep everyone!!! Also, we had EJGaines/Joyner coming back & most folks here agreed that EJGaines beat out Tru and was BETTER than Tru the year before...and that Jenks was a huge liability(especially, oby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I think if fisher stays another year IF a vet OC (like Turner) would be good for our offense & Goff. I think Fisher might earn another year if he made a change like that instead of 2 inexperienced OCs the last 2yrs. Other than that? We have a good team - a good Defense and STs...all we need is a 15th ranked offense and we're in the play-offs due in part to our defense! To me, Fisher is aby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
why would owners hire HCs that have been fired? It seems silly, if ya think about it. ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I think most try and do their job and stay in their lanes. It's been like this before - for the last 4yrs... but there have been disagreements that one cannot lay at Fisher's feet(like trusting Snead and losing out on MLB BWagner) ...which is hard to believe since Fisher controls everything, apparently. Fisher also obviously DIDN'T want Snead to be extended along with himself....only to beby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I wanted better team coverage here in LA...but not this!! Ugh!!! Boring & Petty!!! Heck, I bet that will be the title of a new sitcom now of a NFL team and the internal struggles of building a champion. Heaven Can Wait hasn't been remade yet...! lol That's what we do...we humans...we play the Blues when we're sad....and we laugh at ourselves while we're bleeding to death! - nby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
why now? Losing 4yrs doesn't cause a rift but the 5th one DOES? With a shiny new Franchise QB and the hope & promise of a new stadium, etc??? I don't get it. I know we disagree vehemently on stuff, Max...no biggie, it's nuthin presonal.... I just disagree again with ya on this..and other stuff. Look, it may be true...I'm sure those guys(coaches&players) ARE frustrated.... and mby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
not franchised and then, low-balled offer. So, it stands to reason that Fisher didn't think he was the player that was a priority. No biggie....but no foul, either!by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Any reason to fire Fisher with "Extreme Prejudice". Didn't Fisher hire Snead? Can't he fire Snead? Isn't this Snead's busiest time of year where he's gone most of the time scouting colleges? Just cuz he may not have heard about Snead re-upping doesn't mean he and Snead are not speaking. I dunno, maybe but I doubt it. In sports, guys have disagreements and fights all the timeby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
not Snead. Snead scouts/finds the talent...how does Snead bear any responsibility for signing players now? Also, if this were true...Jenks would have been Franchised - not Tru. Tru had one good year(last year) and now Demoff/Fisher franchise Tru and not Jenks? Doesn't make any sense to me. If they wanted both they coulda said they'd pay BOTH CBs 12m/yr and keep them. BUT, the team decidedby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
everything Goff did was fine...cept he made a bad throw(behind Quick). A QB's feet are constantly resetting to establish a good passing platform. Sometimes, during a play you can keep that platform...other times - not so much..... as QBs have to slide off and make an off-platform throw. Farvre did it all the time so do many of the great QBs(Rogers, Romo, etc). Nothing is perfect in the hby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
good comments...and yes, we will see how it plays out. IMO - We have 2/3s of a very good team...with some bad play on offense. I think a tweak may be more in order than a fire-sale. Fisher hired 2, 1st time OCs since Schotty and I think it didn't work out too well. Sometimes, 1st time guys DO WELL... sometimes no. I just think we need a bit more creativity for our offense and I could seby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and run unbalanced/line running plays...to just force them to just steam-roll the running game and feed TG ...and give time to Goff. ....then, just use 3Wrs and TG to pass with. We just need to try it. imo just spit ballin...but the more I thot about the more it seemed like it could work as any OL will add bulk/power and is a better blocker than a TE. thots?by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Fisher MUST get the offense fixed...I see 2017 with staff intact cept offensive side - which could see a big purge... I think Fisher hires Turner(or a real solid vet OC with a vision) that can match the Defense & STs. IF...Fisher cannot do seriously better next year... I think Stan buys fisher's last year off and gets a vet offensive oriented OC as his new HC to coach in 2018 - one prby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
VinnyB has been a bit "too much" in covering the Rams maiden season in LA. for me anyway... very Bernie-like style (which was not my cup of tea either when they were in StLouis). Oh well...many other voices to read.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I do think defenses DO take TA away in their game-planning too.... but he's a small guy that is gonna need some scheming to help him get into the open field more often... and I think we've been better this year in routes with him...but not better "enough". Personally? I just want NorvTurner or somone who's a solid/experienced OC that will come in and Fisher just turns the offenby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

along with everyone in the Rams organization. Burn it down...and rebuild another team of straw with different names and faces.
