Morris’s odds are enhanced or dimished by Bobby Wagner’s input, IMO. Players some to like to play for him. The only one that was an exception is Jalen Ramsey. But if Morris brings the McVay culture, the Seahawks might bring a challenge.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

Wink’s a great defensive mind. I wish Rams could get him. Sounds like he thinks McVay’s elite. Since he has to game plan against him, I bet he knows what he’s talking about.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- QuoteEkern55 I looked up the ranking for redzone efficiency and for 2023, the Rams ranked 8th (66%). Over McVay’s career the Rams have gone back and forth between middle of the pack (c. 50%) to top 10(60%-65%). Here’s my take: You want to convert at a 75% clip. If you do that, you’re top 3 in the league. What I think McVay doesn’t truly and really grasp is that his talenby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

If I recall, tackling wasn’t so great under Staley (or am I just remembering how poorly his Chargers’ defense tackled. I can’t recall how Wade Phillips’ teams tackled. Gregg Williams had good tackling and toughness. Morris’ defenses haven’t been stand outs when it comes to tackling. Got to make fundamentals fundamental priorities next season, whoever the DC is.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Whitherspoon’s second half of the season ruined his chance at the big payday. Buyer beware.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Glad to hear former players making that comment—Collinsworth (former player, obviously) made it too—instead of just hearing on our beloved Ramily message board. That way, if the word travels up to the Rams’ front office, it has gravitas. That should be an easy fix. I’ve been a big fan of using Hoecht at the DE spot—300 pounder who runs a 4.6. But as much as I was rooting for him, I reallyby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff will fold like a cheap suit facing his childhood team, the Niners. He’s rather attend their victory parade than hoist his own Lombardi.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

I think this has been a perennial complaint since he became coach. He just need to realize he really sucks at that part of the game. Honestly, like some said: call plays from your own 25 to the opponent 20, then let Lafluer take over.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay has one thing that stands head and shoulders above all other NFL coaches. He gets his players to buy in and they never quit. The Rams had every reason for go fetal position like the Cowboys and Browns. But the players stayed in it and almost won this thing in the face of a screaming crowd. I think the adage is true: the way to beat McVay is to make McVay beat himself. And by that, Iby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

Tackling and defensive toughness. Detroit out toughen us on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense deserves an applause. Balled out and got off the mat time and again. Defense was playing flag football.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
