Quotelaram ....I'm going corner, de, ol as my top targets. Get my wr much later in the draft or UDFA. Would you attempt to hit any of those needs via free agency?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I heard the Demoff press conference and still am starting to think he's staying. In addition, to 73's reasoning, there are a few other clues. The other day he's watching the game with Kroenke and Demoff. And they have him helping with the coaching search. Neither one of those sound like a guy who's on his way out. I think it's not determined yet. IMO, it depends on the coach. IF theyby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Boras plays Fisherball. The Fish said so himself when he was hired. Fisher bragged about how Boras shares the same offensive philosophy as him.by dzrams - Game Time Forum

It's more than this. A philosophy of what they should do is not helping. They have already tried to build the line several times. It's not bad for lack of trying. They have just failed.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Which explains why the coaching staff has no idea what to do with him. lol However, and not to discount your info, but wasn't that the year Fisher/Schotty wanted to go to a more wide-open, spread it out offense? Austin may not fit a traditional Fisher offense but he may have been very good in whatever new scheme they were switching to before Fisher scrapped it.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePaulButcher59 QuoteSpeed_Kills Very good ones mind you....plausible. However, I dont think either is the homerun they want to hit. I dont trust Demoff/Kronke - making the decision other than Jim Harbaugh or Pete Carroll which I think universally would be applauded. Otherwise hiring the strong proven GM/Executive (Wolf/Polian) and letting them do the hiring eliminates Demoff/Kronkeby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
you mentioned two possibilities: the players are stupid or not that talented. I see three options: stupid, not talented, not well trained. The 3rd can camouflage any talent and enhance stupidity.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepoplarbluffman yeah Snead is gone but Snead ain't the problem...the owner is...like Bill Bidwelll when he ran the Stl Cardinals..perennial losers. Bidwell would accidentally hire a good coach but it never lasted. 2/3 years tops..Rams fans have to accept that reality It would not last because the owner got impatient and fired the guy right? And we already know Kroenke is not like thatby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Hmmmm. Thanks for that. So under Belichek the Patriots don't have a system setup like that now?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I was being facetious. But in all seriousness, can you verbalize a difference in the Patriots model and the Steelers model. I see it similar to what an article that was posted on this board yesterday. Both organizations are run with strong football people from top to bottom and they both value stability.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic So, when our new HC comes in and watches tape what will he see? First of all, penalties galore. Poor blocking. Poor tackling. Turnovers. Bad football. Ok, so beyond that what players look good and what do we now need? Hekker and AD are future HOFs and best at their position. Goff, great young QB. Gurley. Go back one more season and you see an All Pro. Barron and AO good outsidby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't want a four year and then fall flat either. But you know what's a thousand times worse than that? A four year run...of losing. And the Steelers model? What have they won lately?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

I think he’s done a good job finding players in the draft. Fisher is so bad coaching offense that it’s hard to tell exactly how much is a talent issue and how much is coaching/scheme. It’s just very suspicious to me when most of the players on defense are hits and zero on offense are. Players performing below their capabilities is the norm for a Fisher O…by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm down with that plan. In case he doesn't come, what about Bill Polian?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteRams_81 I think most people who promote that opinion don't even show that they get what the Rams offense IS under Fisher. Is it a prerequisite to show understanding of exactly what the Rams offense is to make the observation that generally speaking, Fisher has bad offenses? 81 made two assertions that I agree with: Fisher doesn't get the full capabilities out of his playerby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Robinson will be on the team next year because they save no money by cutting him. So I’d prefer they park his butt on the bench to finish out the season and develop him into a guard in the offseason. Experimenting with that now on week 14 could get the QB hurt.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

How do you know Britt won’t be worth the money to resign? What are you thinking it will cost? A practice squad player can’t replace Tru. That’s a nonstarter idea. If they don’t spend the money to resign Tru, then they better pick up another good CB in free agency. Gaines and Hill are suspect. Given there other urgent needs, they simply don’t have the draft picks to replace multiple CBs thiby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
And I already alluded to the reason in my last post of why the last 3 have failed. It's because Fisher has been looking for OC's that share his philosophy. I believe his philosophy is obsolete and out of touch. So clearly someone other than Fisher will have to help or be in charge of the OC search. If that happens, it's no different than wondering if the next HC will be successful.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM there exists, to me, a frightening similarity in every offense under Fisher with the Rams no matter who the OC was. So while 'in theory' I think this could work - in reality I seriously doubt it. - JamesJM If Fisher was to keep his HC job, he would have to hire an accomplished OC and give him complete autonomy over everything on offense. Philosoph, scheme, play calling, all of it.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker I don't see three guys who really like each other and work tightly together going through those motions in a PR chess game with each other. I think Kroenke, Snead, Demoff and Fisher know what's going to transpire, either based on what the possibilities are or for all we know the path is already set in stone, and that's that. IMO it's probably that simple. Kroenke and Demoff areby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
