Description: The guys wrap up the hour going through a list of players that the Rams have signed this offseason. A lot of them have had some recent trouble with the law. Interesting....

 

[Roman Snow]

A bit overstated. You could make this case for any team.

 

[12intheBox]

May as well bring in Greg Hardy on a 1 year deal. Amirite?

 

[Merlin]

They have been for some time. Difference with the Rams is nobody realizes it because they've hit on them for the most part.

Jenkins

Ogletree as well. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/04/22/alec-ogletree-nfl-draft/2105067/

Rams are nowhere near the gold standard set by New England, with its arrogant coach and moralistic owner, of signing a serial killer to a $40 million contract.

 

[Merlin]

Like who, for instance?

Jenks. Tru. Ogletree. All three not only kept their noses clean for the most part, but took to the Rams leadership and coaching and became good players.

Fisher clearly has a talent for handling those types. It is one of his strengths.

 

[WestCoastRam]

One wonders in this day and age, if the Rams could have kept Leonard Little who killed a woman drunk driving and then got a DUI later in his career.

I agree with you here Merlin. Fisher may have some good size HOLES in his NFL HC skills & abilities resume but in this one area Fisher has excelled! If I was rating him .... check the box as Outstanding!

Handling major management problem players is usually something your are born will & spend the rest of your career working on rounding out your sharp edges as you grow older. Fisher may be one if not the best in the NFL at this. Well will see just how well JJ does now out from under the fisher effect?

Let's not forget their cheating culture.....

Completely agree. I think I (knee-jerk) responded cuz' your post was right after the "get Greg Hardy" post.
None of the Rams player's offenses comes anywhere close.

I wouldn't mind...

Isn't it up to the player, not the coach? Pacman didn't grow up until he got to Cincinnati. Vince Young stood up in the middle of a team meeting and said to Fisher's face, "I'm not walking out on the team, I'm walking out on you."

Fisher has 90 players and a franchise relocation to shepherd this summer. Doesn't leave much time for babysitting.

 

[VegasRam]

Yeah, Vince Young's a real good example of how a coach failed a player. alm:

Good grief man. You don't think the coach and how well he leads and manages has anything to do with it? Of course it's up to the players. But leadership is key too and some guys have that affinity to connect with a broader base of guys and get them to buy in. Fish is one of those leaders.

That's not what I was saying at all. Poor reading comprehension on your part.

Every head coach has to have that ability.

As Roman Snow said earlier, 1700 players in the NFL, 250 draft picks every year, plenty of questionable personalities and examples of immaturity will find their way to every team. No one knows which coaches are better at handling "those types" because it's never been honestly examined. All we know is Fisher takes chances on players that others won't touch.
