I'm a bit surprised, guessed 25 snaps or so would be a good target. Rams and AD know what's best.

I guess part of the calculation is, with facing a heavy run offense & quick passing game, having Donald on a pitch count, puts a lot of pressure on the the other 5 DL. For week one, that could be an issue as all of these guys are still getting in game shape. So we will likley see Norton or Murchison elevated for week one.

At the time Fisher was considered a good hire. And yes, we were more competitive right away. But the game has passed him by. And he wouldn't adapt. He valued WR's who could block in the run game. RB was more important to him than QB. I suppose we can acknowledge drafting Aaron Donald. That was the best present he could leave for McVay.

I'm gonna go ahead and speculate Drafting Donald was "a bit more" Snead than Fisher.....

So no AD for the 49ers. Woulda liked to see him out there terrorizing Purdy. But its ok. Kobie, Fiske, Poona are gonna do their thing. With Garrett and Young on the edges. That is a lot of sacks waiting to happen.

Looking back on Fisher, it ended up being a disappointment in terms of the record. But he did change the culture and get rid of most of the festering bullshit that plagued us for years. He essentially left a relatively clean, blank slate for McVay to come into and do what he did.

With that said, can't really fault Fisher. He inherited a shitshow for sure. And yes, he didn't adapt, but he at least made Ram's football watchable again.

Didn't he hire a an ex-HS coach as his QB coach? in Goff's FIRST YEAR??

(My wife went to HS with Fisher. She's not really a football fan but thought it was cool that she kinda-sorta knew him. She was PO'd when they fired him, and no arguments from me could persuade her from believing that he was treated badly. So whenever the Rams lose under McVay, especially in a heartbreaking fashion, she'll exclaim "fire the coach!". I cannot not get PO'd every freakin' time I hear it. It's almost irreconcilable at.this point.)

I'm guessing you're wife isn't very good at logic questions.

I'm unemployed at the moment. I would rather have AD99 week 2 or even 3 for later and for the remainder than a spotlight that we all know to dominate. Rams 31- Miners 13 something like that.
 
Much as I would like a.d. to play.
Like 2 years in retirement.
Plus a 16 hr flight, plus 16 hr flight back on a Friday or Saturday.
Then about a another 8-9 days to get ready for giants on mnf.
It's probably best for a.d to knock off some rest. And stay in LA

As a Niner Hater I am sad Donald is not playing.

As a Ram Fan, I am fine with making sure Donald is fully ready.

We could really use him for the week 3-5 stretch: Broncos, Eagles and Bills.

He can rest a few games after that :)
