First of all, there's the Los Angeles "thing." If the Rams are going to spend a few more years getting up to speed, in terms of talent base and coaching, they are far more likely to draw in the Coliseum losing 38-31 ... than 27-6. Second ... like it or not ... today's National Football League is about offense. It just ... is. Every major rule change in the last thirty years has beenby The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com
Hadn't been aware of this until recently ... but the Rams actually had Coryell in Los Angeles for a look-see in January 1978. Found a picture of Coryell and Don Klostermann together driving someplace. The great what-if for most long-time Rams' fans is Walsh. But a second has to be the Coryell thing. What if Coryell had been hired and opened up the Rams' offense in Los Angeles the way he did inby The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

Who was the individual ... or individuals ... who invested in those 'talents?' The only thing Jeff Fisher knows about receivers is that he couldn't cover them as a player. Entrusting him ... or any of his minions ... to make smart choices at *that* position is like entrusting Lil' Wayne to build a Super Collider.by The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

What follows is a snippet from an interview I did a couple years back with a rather prominent NFL front office executive. This guy has been in the league, in various front-office and personnel slots, since the mid-1980s. He knows everybody in the league ... and where all the bodies are buried. Exec X: And he’s told … and … believe it or not, I’ve never met Bill Parcells, how about that? Lby The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

For my money, anyway. Imo, for whatever that's worth, Payton is the anti-Fisher in terms of the proper implementation of a modern NFL offense. How to attack. Who to attack. When to attack. He, and the people he would surround the young quarterback with, would be like manna from the sky for Goff. From the Parcells' coaching tree. Needs a change-of-scene.

I guess I'm just not very much of a Coughlin fan. While Vermeil and Coughlin are a lot alike in that they are consumed by the game and their jobs as head coach ... I've never gotten the sense Coughlin has the same feeling for 'his guys' that Vermeil had for his. Vermeil drove his players ... hard. Everybody knows that. But, his emotional attachment to them, I think, made the difference in theby The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

Personally? I'd pass. I tend to think, like Fisher, the modern game has passed ol' Tommy by. Also, if I remember correctly, he could have had the Eagles' job last year ... but completely blew his interview by being obsessed with having been 'screwed' by the Giants' management.by The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

You forget the red-hot flame Ralph carried for Hank Kimball. Of course ... it's entirely possible Ralph may have just been feigning interest in Hank. Especially considering his issues with early onset dementia. Perhaps all Ralph wanted Hank for was as her "Beard."by The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

Beautiful picture. You ever see the Night Gallery episode about the Nazi war criminal living in South America? He wanders into a museum one day and finds a painting of a man in a fishing boat on a quiet lake. He goes back, day after day, and through some sort of otherworldly concentration can will himself into the boat. He is able to stay longer and longer each time.

Everybody throws the football x number of times in the pro game. The issue was / is that Cignetti and Boras and Fisher and Weinke were always outmatched in terms of the implementation of a passing game and its import in today's NFL. Watching the Rams play offense under Fisher was like watching Abe Vigoda make-out with Phyllis Diller.by The_Bad_Guy - RamsFootballFans.com

***And you probably haven't actually been watching much or know what you'd be seeing if you did. You wouldn't see that Wentz, as a rookie starting from game one, has the 6th most passing attempts of any QB in the NFL. More than Palmer, Manning, Brady, Luck, Rivers, Stafford, etc. You wouldn't know that the Eagles have dumped the whole enchilada on his shoulders and he also has no help.

I like him. A lot, in fact. Big and strong. Big arm. Smart. Tough. Unaffected by 'The Stage.' I think he's got a very, very bright future and I applaud the bold move Philly made for him to ascend to the starting job. I think they are much better served by what this kid brings to the table, in all aspects, on and off the field, than with the other guy.
