Can you imagine if they were to find a Whit replacement in a lottery type guy like Pircher. Not really thinking that will happen but I like that they found a prospect with that size who moves well. Homey is about to get his strength tested soon though and we will see if he can stick.

Feel like Ramsey showed some growth by not trashing some receivers there at the end

Sean McVay talks coaching with Joe Judge on 'Flying Coach' podcast​

Sean McVay has kept busy during this quiet part of the offseason, starting to host a podcast with Peter Schrager on The Ringer. If you haven’t listened tuned in already, it’s called “Flying Coach” and is one of the best football podcasts around right now.

Each week, McVay and Schrager have a new guest coach on the podcast, and for the latest episode, Joe Judge was invited. It was almost an hour-long conversation with Judge, as the Giants coach talked about working under Nick Saban and Bill Belichick, Daniel Jones’ progression heading into Year 3 and his favorite player to coach, Julian Edelman.

At the end of the show, McVay talked about his former coaches who have gone onto new teams, led by Chargers head coach Brandon Staley. He’s confident all of them will succeed in their new roles, even though he’s disappointed not to have them on the Rams anymore.

“I think Brandon Staley’s gonna do a great job with the Chargers. This is a guy that’s got great command and capacity in all three phases. Spending a year with him, when you understand the intricate knowledge of the game, the details, the way he’s able to see the game through the lens of his background as a quarterback, understanding and being around some really good coaches to where you’re saying, ‘All right, I know what I want it to look like when I’m leading. I’m surrounding myself with great coaches that are leading on all three phases, while also having an ownership ability to develop a relationship with (Justin) Herbert, I think Brandon will do a really nice job.”

McVay said he’s excited to see “how he activates the Derwin James of the world, the Joey Bosas, Kenneth Murray,” saying the Chargers have some “exciting pieces.”

The good news; Morris has a lot of football experience.

But, yeah… it’s not only a new scheme… he needs to “call the game”. Which means having a feel for it.

Morris has some catch-up work to do.

Click to expand...

Absolutely. But everything that I have heard about him from the player interviews is that he is a very high energy, very intense coach.
Sound familiar?

IMO. A personality match is far more important in the long run than a "schematic history" match.
Morris and McVay have a long history together, So McVay would have a very good idea about

The ability and desire of Morris to not only learn the Fangio D , but also his ability to run it.
If I'm Morris, I'm thinking that learning to run this defense is a huge career, momentum boost.

Learning curve? Yep, but I feel it's just gonna get better as the season goes.

I have no doubt McVay knows this defense inside and out.
How many offensive HC's' would be capable of this? Most rely on what ever system a new DC hire brings with him.

Maybe I'm a Homer, I don't give a flip. I'm drinking whatever kool-aid our HC is pouring.

My favorite part was when Keyshawn said in response to the other guy, "Pfft, Stafford throws 4000 yards every year!" as if that was a come back that trashed the other guys opinion.....lol! That is Government level stupid!

Click to expand...

Yes. Lol. But he won't throw for 4,000 this year. Much more. I might have predicted Bobby Trees and Kupp both in the top 5 receiving but I feel if VJ breaks out, it'll take a tick off their numbers.

And people with two first names really mess me up

I always get them backwards

I've always liked Cowherd ever since his days as the NBC sports guy in Portland. I don't always agree with him but I've found him pretty watchable most of the time. His list makes sense - though I would give us at least a couple more wins. I think it does honestly come down to us and the Bucs with us making Brady look old.

Do game day jerseys have the elastic waist band? Also I was told the NFL shield should have 3 rows of 8 stars vs a smaller number of stars.

Looking at other pictures I think the shield looks correct

bluecoconuts said:

They're using the 2016 collar, not the 2017 one, so I doubt it's game worn. It could be something he signed when he first came to the team.

Click to expand...

Yeah, this makes the most sense. Guess in the offseason when we acquired him the '16 style was still in. It probably changed May-July that year? So, not game worn, but a legit game jersey (2016 prior to change)

Close enough

Why wouldn’t there be more pressure on jackson? He finally won a playoff game and so I would think the expectations are higher. After all, he shows immense talent during the season. Outside of kc and the bills, losing to anybody else in the post season should be disappointing.

I saw a stat last season that A’Shawn Robinson was nearly twice as effective as Brockers on a per snap basis.

That doesn’t mean Brockers wasn’t good or that Robinson could have replaced all of Brockers snaps, but with all this time to rehab and get his body right, I expect Robinson to have as big a jump in production as Leonard Floyd did last year.

I have no rebuttal.

The listed group of favored comeback players in 2021 look accurate to me.

The yellow pants on the alternative look slightly darker/less highlighterish, so my guess is that they swapped out the pants from last year to this year. It could also just be lighting, hard to say until we see them on the field.

It will be hard to justify paying a punter over $4m unless he is truly a difference maker game after game.

Click to expand...

I was on that side of letting Hekker go,but since Mcvay came out otherwise,makes it hard to see Johnny getting cut(released).

Won’t say it will not happen.Do believe it is a good thing having an extra quality punter.Ball machines are only so good,& the return game is what Mcvay wants to improve on.I thought Webster did an okay job as a PR/KR guy.He will never be much of a WR & always less than a Top 15 return guy.
The Rams want to set a realistic goal of Top 10 across the board on special teams.Having Copper Kupp as a PR guy (stunk) was not a good move imo by Mcvay.I do think he will still try to compete though.Hope he gets fazed out.

Merlin said:

Yeah there is no way he'd say something like that to Foolio or his merry band of media clowns. This shows how good that podcast is. You have key people in the league going on that show and actually saying what they really think, it's a refreshing change.

It's the best sports podcast on the internet, followed closed by 11 Personnel

So Therams.com has a link to the parking passes on their web site...

UCI Rams TC Parking

I just bought the full parking pass. Covers every day of camp for $135. You can save $15 over buying them daily. If you pre-buy daily its $15 or $18 at the gate. Oversize vehicles are more.

Had wifi off and just got the banned message while using cell phone data (AT&T). Never had any post of mine cause any serious unrest, so i doubt that's it. Switched on wifi to make this post without an issue.

My guess; your phone randomly grabbed a blocked IP.

Not shocking. Still confused about all the love Murray gets in the NFC West. Not impressed by the guy, maybe it’s just me.

I was about to flip out but then realized they just ranked the QBs in alphabetical order lol.

I've always liked these,clean look not too busy

I use it mostly for the games I play (Eve & WoW) but I do hang out a bit in the Rams sub. She will make for a great Q&A because she'll put out great effort to answer all the questions put forth.

Speaking of all this it's been a while since we've seen a big interview here at ROD... You guys need to get Snead in here that would be fun.

Allen, Demby, Mundt, Webster, Young, Gaines.

Click to expand...

I can see everybody on this list in a battle. Gaines would be the hardest to move out because he’s been steadily developing into quality depth. For Mundt to go, both Hopkins has to be ready to step in and a couple guys from the rookie class have to able to handle ST roles.

Just makes me a bigger Seabass fan. Sorry @oldnotdead , but I think he's a keeper for this year.
