The article is pointing out the importance of keeping the players that know how to get to the big dance and that’s clearly true. The salary cap and dead money can help keep players on the roster. But I think what the best coaches do is create a campaign. You have to set specific goals, during the parts of the season and for the big picture, reaching the championship. So, you can’t repby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
If Morris leaves, I’m fine with Henderson and Evero too. My black horse candidate is Jeff Fisher. I know. I know. But does know defensive talent and understands the value of toughness.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude Quotesstrams You got that right 'dude... lol.. Philly fans don't mess around.. Living close to Philly myself I see it everyday! They are EXTREMELY passionate about everything. There is a different "mindset" about things. Same with NY and NJ. It's just a tougher crowd. They also have a different sense of humor than most. They always are on the edge of "crossing tby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteCoy Bacon I never would have believed Goff was equal to J. Allen! Good for Jared! But I think what MTranfan said is critical. Det. made lemonade out of lemons, McVay threw them away. No criticism of McVay intended here, just two diff. approaches to two very diff. situations. I think McVay was either told or saw the writing on the wall—and, frankly, we all knew so—he needed to coachby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
This is good news. It was the tackling technique that LT used to end Joe Thiesman’s career and I saw Ken Norton Jr. used it to dislocate Napoleon McCallun’s upper leg from his lower leg, severe an artery and ended his career—oh!! Did I miss saying McCallun was in danger of bleeding out on the field? Ryans’ defenses are dirty to the core.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude QuoteEkern55 QuoteRamsdude QuoteEkern55 So, why not Fisher for DC? For DC? Fisher>Morris and it's not even close. :beercan I know it would never happen but I bet a McVay/Fisher combo would be a good match! :thumbsup Well there’s a history in LA.

Fisher knew what a football player is. Analytics cannot measure for that. Mike Singletary and Richard Dent will slip through analytics filters every time.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote21Dog Quotemerlin That would be great. I'd love to see him on our depth chart and in this offense. Here's his game vs UCLA below for those who have not seen him play, it nicely encapsulates what he's about: great pocket movement, inconsistent accuracy, high compete, undersized, tough physically and mentally. So he'll definitely go late but the funny thing about him is his mechanics are alby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteOzRam Look at this board over the past good few years and you see it clamouring for big bullying OL, with C being a high priority. I don't get the way the Rams have gone with the OL recently after what happens every time we play the 49ers. I want NASTIES .... I want HOGS Writing’s on the wall if the Rams want to win the division. They either need their own guys to adjust their chinby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamgator I was driving up Hwy 301, with a grin on my face, listening to the Chiefs / Bills game on the radio, going back to Jacksonville from Tampa. That pass to Kupp at the end is crystal clear in my head. I can still feel the chill in the air too. I was freezing! What a game to see my Rams in the Playoffs, in person, for the first time! Can’t believe you saw that in person. I was ready tby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

You are correct. But, picking a dollar off the ground is easy. Football is a tough game. You do not have to make every play a masterpiece. Just lob the ball forward when you can.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotefarley No they aren't. We are left trying to get excited about late round CBs that run 4.8s and 5'10" safeties. A lot of things broke our way last year and everything broke against us this year, bottomline we have not had the fundamentals of team building in place for a sustained run. Snead has repeatedly overpaid which required we hit on late picks, UDFAs, and late FA cheap vets. Thatby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
True. Totally want to punch one on the metro ride home but the wife was pulling my leash real tight. What’s weird is Niner fans aren’t as aggressively in your face like Philly fans, but since Philly has only one Lombardi, maybe they aren’t ‘on’ 24/7? We get it Niner fans.

QuoteRamgator Get rid of the ball! I saw a LOT of quick slants last night. On 3rd and 3-5, you see Receivers QUICKLY getting open with none of the 5-7 drop passes with slow developing routes. Like the Niners game plan , it's just basic stuff. Yeah, but dontcha know, Gator, that you have to unbalance the field—preferably in empty set—and chuck the ball way down field just before your quarterbacby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 Definitely dirty. Tried to take out Kupps’ legs in the last NCF Championship. Did take out Higbee’s legs. Ward had helmet to helmet hits three times in that game and got flagged for only one. Oh, and they took out Fuller for the playoffs on the last game of the regular season. Quality group of people there.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
