Quotemerlin I see a lot of ASSUMPTIONS by the fans on what Fish wants. A lot of comments on Fisherball and they might be right, it's hard to say. This offense has never been a power offense though, in his four years as head coach. I don't know if that's because of the OL injuries, or because it took him 3 years to find his horse at RB. But looking at Kendricks vs Higbee you do make a validby laram - RamsFootballFans.com

More often than not unless they're going max protect. They may even run more 11 personnel with Austin, Britt and Spruce or whoever. I'm not certain of your scenario, but we'll see.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm going to be very interested to see how this plays out. I think most agree that Fisher wants to establish the line of scrimmage and run first. If that is indeed true, doesn't that mean Kendricks starts? Will Higbee's receiving prowess usurp Kendricks ability to block in the run game? I'm comfortable saying after only one game that Higbee is a better receiver than Kendricks. Iby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
You have a good opinion, one that is steeped in truth and results evident on the field. Britt is a talented player with a .10 cent head. As you say he has always been that way. I think he would benefit more from tough love instead of being coddled as he is. A player or person in most cases will never reach their ceiling, being coddled. Its no secret that Jeff Fisher is a players coacby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills Dallas oline is in mid-season form I believe Tyron Smith led the league in sacks allowed, or near the top. Doug Free is a run blocker not a pass blocker Fredericks at center is just OK and Zach Martin is a stud. They all run block pretty well, but Romo syre bails them out a lot in pass pro.

Said he was better than Givens. 17 catches 226 yards I n a rookie season v 42 catches and nearly 700 yards for Chris in his rookie year.

That Jeff Fisher does not know what he's doing! I guess what Quick and Britt did wasn't sum 7-9 bull s---right??!?! What if they both had been injured or injured someone else horsing around like that??? Way to set a standard coach.

Quote9er8er Or in other words, 6' 1/2". 6005 and 209 lbs vs. 6'2" 224 lbs is not a nominal difference in the NFL. You have essentially no QB's not named Drew Brees that fit the former. You have many that fit the latter. A keynote you failed to include.. Kellen Clemens measured 74 inches at the combine. Translation? 6'1" vs 6005. So again...a nominal difference!by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
But yeah thats the narrative, but a meltdown doesn't happen all at once you know. It actually takes a bit and there were signs along the way. I don't expect that you saw them though! :moon Btw, I ragged on Foles from the beginning way back to Sag's 2 season evaluation of him.

Explain to me what happened in the Steelers game? The offense put up 6 points and Foles had O Td's and 1 INT. There were signs prior to the GB game IMO. But we all see things differently.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
a player who was traded for does not get relegated to the end of the bench and cut, because he tried playing hurt. Nick Foles predictably fell off a cliff. Those that really paid attention to his play and the type of offense he was accustomed to...saw this coming. Next.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er The obvious difference being Clemens was a MUCH more highly regarded prospect coming out of college, to the tune of 2nd round pick more highly regarded. And, Keenum was in Conference USA instead of breaking college records at Oregon held by such NFL luminaries as Dan Fouts. And Clemens is the size of Kurt Warner and Aaron Rodgers, not the size of Drew Brees. And they both have proby laram - RamsFootballFans.com

I would much rather they fly under the radar with low expectations. I don't want the whole football world looking at them and expecting stuff.

In 11 personnel packages which most teams are running these days, you got Britt, Spruce and Austin, with Higbee at tight end. I'm no Fisher fan as you know, but I do believe he would allow Higbee and Spruce to start if they earned it.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
