Except when the OL is loaded with bologna.A QB would definitely be a recruiting tool. But, having Gurley is not just a ham sandwich.

Well, haven't seen the game yet but the bits and pieces I'm hearing (listened to Bernie this morning) indicate the offense played very well. Bernie said Keenum's rating over the last game and a half is something like 145?Let's see how much improvement they can muster between tonight and the end of the season.
If things stay the same, or worsen, it could get ugly.
How do we know how much control Fisher has of the offense? It just seems like the fashionable thing to say these days, but does anyone really know? Because during the Lions game the announcers made a point to say that Fisher doesn't meddle during the play-calls, but sometimes might give his input inbetween series. Just because he set the philosophy doesn't mean he's constantly in the coordinator's ear.
I'm not assuming anything.. but, given the amount of play calling and how long ago it was... and at what level (UNLV), I think it's fair to have some concerns.And just out of curiosity, why is is it assumed, (by everyone it seems), that Boras automatically is not the guy. Team has looked SIGNIFICANTLY better these last two games, quality of the opponents notwithstanding.
Not saying he IS the guy, just wonder why people assume he isn't.
5,000 of my "likes" are from Jeff Fisher on Mondays. You can take that to the friggin bank.Todd gurley reads all my posts. True story
That's my biggest concern. I'm not sure Fisher should be gambling on anything at this point.I guess the bigger concern is whether these final games are enough to warrant Boras being full time OC next season with Fisher staying
Yeah, he (Fisher) might have to make a difficult decision if Boras is able to elevate this offense from here on out.That's my biggest concern. I'm not sure Fisher should be gambling on anything at this point.
Gambled on Bradford, gambled on the in-house unknown OC replacement for Shotty, gambled on drafting a young OLine, gambled on Foles...
I hope he's under just enough pressure to make an obvious change with the approach to the offense this offseason. Giving Boras the full time gig in 2016 based on 4 games of work doesn't strike me as the right direction to go with 4 seasons of .500 football under your belt.
I think they do listen, and read us. Please keep posting.
Jeff Fisher does not know offense. He has no business dictating what the offense does. If the Rams want to be great, he needs to take a step back, hire a quality OC, and let him do his job.
I think so.....I guess the bigger concern is whether these final games are enough to warrant Boras being full time OC next season with Fisher staying
We have, and really I'll give a big plus to the QB for this....Team has looked SIGNIFICANTLY better these last two games, quality of the opponents notwithstanding.
Me too.....change for the sake of change does not work well.....I hope Boras does turn out to be "the real deal".
I see a decidedly different passing focus...Quick downfield passes. Slants, seams, outs, hitches, RB's, TE's....and much better timing and rhythm....of course the receivers making some nice catches helps....But QB play, was clearly the difference....It was obvious...Boras didn't do a whole lot different from play calling perspective (sans a couple little things). But in large part our offense was effective because of one main thing...QB play.
This should be the keep Boras or find a new OC game....If Boras & Keenum can perform in these circumstances, keep them both for next year.....Especially if we win. It should be a playoff-type atmosphere....But we couldn't run worth a lick and the Seahawks will be a much sterner test.
I'm encouraged by what we've seen from Keenum and Boras so far. Make that greatly encouraged. Hopefully, Fisher has the sense to let the O really go for it against the Seahawks.
That's my biggest concern. I'm not sure Fisher should be gambling on anything at this point.

Agree. I'm still not convinced Fisher wants a generally low output offense. I'm guessing when we have a good lead, the edict is to run the clock but this idea that Fish is holding his coordinators back is kind of ludicrous in my mind. He may not have chosen coordinators well but he was obviously open to a spread type offense, is the king of trick plays, and opened it up in Tenn when he had the tools. This does not mesh with the theory of what many want to believe about Fish.How do we know how much control Fisher has of the offense? It just seems like the fashionable thing to say these days, but does anyone really know? Because during the Lions game the announcers made a point to say that Fisher doesn't meddle during the play-calls, but sometimes might give his input inbetween series.

Seriously? Because JF's football origins are on the defensive side of the ball, he doesn't know anything about offense.(??) How exactly does one become a good defensive coach w/o knowing something about offense?
NO HC in anything resembling his right mind would neuter himself by totally staying away from one side of the ball or the other. That's just absurd. That's why their title is 'Head Coach'...because their job is to oversee all 3 phases of the game. For all intents & purposes, they coordinate the coordinators.
