A timely question for CoachO...

[CoachO]

I share Hammer's high praise for Boras. Every day of training camp, the TE unit was the FIRST on the practice field. They went thru their stretching on their own, but Boras was never far away.

When Hammer referred to him being "detail oriented", he would work with each and every TE in the unit on the smallest details in blocking techniques, running routes, hand position, etc. Every day, they would work on the scripted plays to be run that day on the 11 on 11 drills. He would break down footwork, which shoulder to punch, hand height, and virtually every technique for each play. And he did with whether it was Jared Cook, Lance Kendricks, Corey Harkey right on down to Brad Smelley, one of the practice squad guys.

He's not a screamer like G. Williams, or even Boudreau. But the players respond to him, and he definitely gets his message across. IMO, they could do worse than Rob Boras.

Sorry, my friend, but Mannion is not a good QB. Doesn't even have good tools. I wouldn't draft him.

I know man. But my boy is going to prove you wrong. Says my Beaver homer side.

Thanks Coach. Good to see you around.

Much appreciated.
For most of us, Boras is just a name. His expertise is an unknown.
Other than being our TE coach of course.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Well Chudzinski started off as a TE coach in the NFL too, so..............

 

[Rainram]

Sign me up for Chud or Boras.

I'll pass on Cignetti and Hackett.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Good post.....

 

[Mojo Ram]

More like Britt's doing.

Why don't you put Britt in charge!?

 

[den-the-coach]

Hey! Ease up on my OSU boy!

Yeah brings us back to the days of Terry Baker!

 

[den-the-coach]

Sign me up for Chud or Boras.

I'll pass on Cignetti and Hackett.

I concur with this assessment.

 

[Dieter the Brock]

I heard that he's calling Sean Mannion and Bro Wallace future franchise QBs.

He was spot on when he said Carr was the best QB last year....
Not my cup of tea but the Hammer would be entertaining if he were on ROD

Frank Cignetti, is a very accomplished play caller. He served in the Offensive Coordinator role in various college stops in his career prior to coming to the Rams as the QB Coach. In many ways, he may be a more logical choice than Boras.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Cignetti,_Jr.

"Cignetti was most successful serving as the offensive coordinator at Fresno State for four years from 2002 until 2006. In 2004, Fresno State's offense ranked fifth nationally and seventh in 2005. In 2004 Fresno State became the sixth team in NCAA history to score over 50 points in four consecutive games. The 2004 team also led the Western Athletic Conference in average yards per carry and amassed 65 touchdowns.

Cignetti served as the offensive coordinator for the North Carolina Tar Heels for the 2006 season. When Butch Davis was hired to replace former coach John Bunting at North Carolina, Davis relieved Cignetti of his coaching duties. Cignetti also served as offensive coordinator for the California Golden Bears.[1] Cignetti accepted a position as the offensive coordinator of the University of Pittsburgh football team under head coach Dave Wannstedt on February 18, 2009.[2]

Cignetti also served as quarterbacks coach for the New Orleans Saints and as an offensive assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Frank Cignetti was announced as the Offensive Coordinator for Rutgers University on January 3, 2011.

Frank Cignetti, Jr. was hired by the St. Louis Rams, on February 7, 2012, to be their QB coach."

Options might be starting to dwindle for the vacant offensive coordinator position in Cleveland. Marc Trestman has landed in Baltimore and Kyle Shanahan has reportedly landed in Atlanta. Adam Gase, Greg Olson, Chan Gailey and others have found homes as well. Even Doug Marrone, who walked away from a head coaching position in Buffalo has found a gig as offensive line coach and assistant head coach. Meanwhile Cleveland has moved on to two more options for their offensive coordinator vacancy – Frank Cignetti and Marty Mornhinweg. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Browns are expected to interview Mornhinweg at the Senior Bowl this week.

Well...except that Bridgewater was the best rookie QB.

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Fudge....
Yes, you could definitely argue that
but I still think Carr has a better arm right now, whereas maybe Bridgewater isn't as gifted with the deep ball

Your reply is much appreciated, CoachO.

There is simply no other way for Ram fans from coast to coast to get a glimpse into the interplay between coaches and players.

It certainly helps fans like me to be a bit more patient with the process when I get such tidbits that might explain why Fisher is so calm.

Thanks again, man.

We live in an instant gratification society now. With the media saturation that has become the norm, fans today think things should happen YESTERDAY or its not soon enough. Jeff Fisher has been doing this long enough, and has built a reputation around the league, as being thorough.

Just go back to the beginning of his tenure here, and see the quality of experienced and very well respected coaches he was able to bring here. Mike Wauffle is arguably the best d-line in football. Greg Williams, Chuck Cecil, Frank Bush, Ray Sherman, Paul Boudreau, Dave McGinnis, Rob Boras, John Fassel. Even Schottenheimer was considered a quality experienced coordinator.

Not since the days of Dick Vermiel has the league seen this assembly of coaches on one staff.

Compare that to the staff assembled by Steve Spagnuolo. Had anyone heard of any of his assistants when they got here?

Fisher has instant credibility. I trust that when he makes his decision, it will not be a knee jerk type of thing. Does that mean he always "gets his man"? NO. But he will be comfortable with his choice. And as we saw with Walton, if its not the right fit, he will fix it.

Carr has a stronger arm. But he isn't a good deep thrower. Not Bridgewater's forte either. But Bridgewater has better presence, poise, and movement in the pocket, better placement overall, and imo is the more mentally adept passer.

I think a lot of Bridgewater. IMO, he's a future top 10 QB...and will be there sooner than later.

Hammer is better at talent evaluation than anyone on this board. It's funny seeing people criticize his evaluations when they can't do better.

Hmm.

What's funny is you think that's an acceptable thing to say to the memebrs of this board.

Got any more jokes to tell? Because my patience for this is really thin when it comes to disrespect of our members.

That's a matter of opinion, look no further than his pre draft assessment of TJ McDonald

Just another blowhard in my book (that too being a matter of opinion...mine)
