WTF... I just read the first 2 paragraphs and almost spat out my food. Jimmy Lake didn't predominately run Tampa 2 in college.. wtf. Is the poster just thinking that because he was a coach in Tampa Bay that he just magically will always adopt the Tampa 2 as his base defense? When Lake was DC at UW, you would tend to see more of a single high safety... a really high single high where mostby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
NFL gave leeway on how teams could manipulate their rosters. Niners took a gamble and lost. So basically, the NFL is saying.. well.. we tried to make it your decision to control your roster... now because of your idiocy which in turn makes the NFL look bad because you didn't activate 3 QBs when you had the full power to do so... we will now step in and have more control over your roster becaby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe not now.. but during the season... oh boy. Don't think we need to bump up some of those threads. Whether you want someone gone during the season or now.. better have the replacement in hand.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
It's more quiet on the "Fire Morris" front when there are slim pickings for DC candidates. It's much easier to say "fire a guy"... much harder to find a suitable replacement. Wanting to fire somebody with no realistic proposal for replacement isn't a workable solution. Just more fans adding to the problem. Personally, I'd like to see him do well, have the fan base hypeby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
If Bruss doesn't pan out, then it would be good to understand who is scouting the OLs and if we need a new pair of eyes.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
What he gets criticized for is a build up of what he's done all that time in Detroit. McVay's offense is different.. it actually creates separation for the receiver without needing the receiver to separate on their own. So from my eyes, since coming to the Rams, he's less gunslinging. Doesn't mean he isn't.. just that he is doing it less. And if I'm McVay.. I'm sure I would tell him.. trustby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
yep, maybe you can count Trufant and Marcus Peters as I think Lake had them for 1 year. Kevin King is another one in the secondary.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Huskies had good secondaries under Jimmy Lake. Some guy named Rapp thrived under Lake. Probably he and Gaines put in a good word. That defense was pretty good with Vita Vea and Gaines anchoring the line.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLeoram Quoteh2omelonhead Put Robinson with Burrow and he'll have career years. Burrow will throw the back shoulders and 50/50 balls. Huh? Stafford doesn't throw 50/50 and back shoulder? Not as much a gunslinger? Or maybe Burrow is smarter and more experienced? I'm curious what would happen if they had to play a big game against each other? WTF?? Since coming to the Rams, doesn't fby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Article must have only counted receivers taller than 5'10" as part of the WR group.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
I knew my eyes weren't deceiving me and especially from All 22 views. I remember people bringing up yards of separation as proof that he wasn't open. I'm glad this article cleared things up about yards of separation: "It’s fair to mention Robinson’s lack of separation. He ranked 118th out of 121 receivers in average yards of separation this season, averaging 2.1 yards. However, thatby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Because Fan GMs will create the offense that scores TDs on every possession and defenses that stops the opponent on every possession. Fan GMs don't need a kicker.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com

yeah, I certainly don't want to make it sound like cover 1 is the solution for Mahomes. It isn't. He's good against various types of coverages. Coming into the season, the thought was to defend him by limiting explosive plays and keep every thing underneath. But then he solved that throughout the year, especially with Kelce. Main point was.. the way to stop him and virtually any top QB,by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Mahomes eats up zone defenses. He actually is less effective against Cover 1... but less effective to him is still good... so don't take that as he's not good against cover 1. Just that his passer rating I think is the lowest against Cover 1. So maybe Philly fans are confused and want to bring 1 safety down instead of 2 high. I would have made Mahomes run. Don't care if he gave up yards.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
They've done that all year. This is the "risk taking" philosophy where you are allowed to jump routes to make a play and hopefully cause a turnover. They can do that because they know if they give up a TD, it isn't all lost because they have an offense that can score.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Philly front 4 met their match. Was a non factor against the pass and run. When the front 4 goes, the secondary can't hang.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
To stop either KC or Philly this game? I don't think I'd press Kelce with a safety at the line lol. That didn't work out well for Philly. Reid called a masterful 2nd half, exploiting the matchups and tendencies. As they say... you can only hope to contain.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Philly got no push rush from the front 4 this game. Phenomenal job by the KC line. And then Pacheco gashed them a few times.. on the #1 defense against the run. Time of Possession: Philly: 35:47 KC: 24:13 Yards Gained: Philly: 417 KC: 340 Like what many Offensive minded coaches say: "F" time of possession and "F" Yards KC scored TDs, Philly kicked 2 Fby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
yep, I thought the Eagles would bracket Kelce and leave 1 on 1 for the WRs. They sure didn't start that way and Mahomes/Kelce burnt them in alot of 1 on 1 coverage. I couldn't tell if they adjusted to Kelce in the 2nd quarter with brackets. They might have as I see Reid motioning Kelce out for inside out routes to get him more 1 on 1. Didn't have the right camera angles to see, so tomorrows tby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com

whoa.. yeah, that quota is wrong.

OOF and now Chiefs put Hardman on IR.. out for Super Bowl. There really is no deep threat for Mahomes. If KC wins, for sure it is all Mahomes. Unless their Defense gets a punch of Pick 6's, fumbles for TDs. Philly would bracket Kelce and put it all on Juju, Marquezby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com

I like Evero. If you like an aggressive defense, you'd like Evero. But he does morph based on who he has. So, if he looks at the Rams secondary, he may say.. nah, let's go back to 2 high soft lolby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 QuoteJamesJM (especially this last season) Okay, this last season Rams play softest and Chiefs 2nd "hardest" Chiefs had a time of possession of 29:56 Rams had time of possession of 29:39 I don't know what it means. We were awful and they are in Super Bowl. The play up, we play back. 17 seconds per game difference . . . a play a game? a play every 2 gaby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 I think Evero did a good job. They fell apart at the end but when the offense tanks like they did with Wilson, it is hard to keep it together. We saw that they were not good when we played them but they were a good unit before that. To me, that's an understatement. I thought he squeezed all that he could out of what he had there. I thought he was outstanding. Thatby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Economically, wouldn't you want to draft OT and DE's.. hope you win the lottery and they perform really well on rookie contracts. And then spend smaller FA dollars on interior O-linemen? I think higher grade OT's/DE's tend to be able to start in year 1 vs other positions.. or am I wrong? Otherwise, you blow your load on bigger dollars for OT/DE's FAs since they command much more dollars anby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, feels like they don't have confidence. I'd take an organization that really wanted me and went all out to get me. Round 3 is like... well not sure you are the guy.. some people like you, some people don't... you need to convince those that don't like you. Which basically means: short leash.
