If we lose Shula to a HC gig…

[LouisvilleRam]

Great coaches elevate players. That defense that brought down the 2001 Rams wasn't exactly littered with all stars and future HoFers.

Well when you know what plays we were going to run that helps

 

[PhillyRam]

Bowles is a hell of a good DC so it’s a good idea that is most certainly worth considering. Could he help upgrade the D what with us having two first round picks? I am not sure Pleasant would be an upgrade over Shula

Shula could take Pleasant with him as his DC if the Rams don't promote him immediately to DC.

 

[DragonOfBlood]

I don't have a problem with him leaving at all.. I feel he is highly replaceable.

He ain't his grand daddy, that's for damn sure.

Holding on for dear life on every down helps as well.

Yep I went back and watched and Ty Law & Otis Smith(I think it was) would grab Holt & Bruce when they would cut for a break on their route. They mainly grabbed a handful of jersey on their shoulder area from behind.

I don't think the Rams got one dpi call on a db that game.

Raheem Morris is available.

The FIX that was XXXVI.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Raheem Morris is available your next DC.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Ballhawk]

Morris had better players and still played too soft with his defenses.

 

[Pupped]

I don’t think Shula is getting a HC job this cycle.

 

[Merlin]

You never know with owners. They may be more enamored with Shula's family name and the fact he had a cup of coffee with McVay than whether he's ready.

Though he's had other guys hired away I didn't think were ready so what do I know.

 

[Tano]

Morris had better players and still played too soft with his defenses.

Yeah - there were games where Donald would be wrecking havoc in the backfield and his soft zone coverages would just get obliterated between the 20s. However, Morris was very good at limiting teams to field goals frequently in the red zone.

He dialed shit up in the playoffs though. I wonder what role McVay takes in the defense and how aggressive it plays. With this offense, defense should be taking chances all day long.

And those soft zone allowed the QBs to dump the ball off quickly, robbing AD of sacks.

shut your mouth.

I think there's a consensus that he's a top 5 candidate. Doesn't guarantee him a job but I think he's prob gone as long as D doesn't sh*t the bed in the playoffs.

 

[majrleaged]

I think the Dolphins head coach is getting a reprieve so I don't think he will get a HC job this year.

 

[Rmfnlt]

Shula can stay or go in my book. He's nothing special.

I prefer he leave. The players are out of position and not disciplined IMO.

 

[majrleaged]

I think Shula staying can only be a good thing. 2 years of experience under his belt. Probably a couple of better players in the back end. This D was doing pretty good when he had his wild card. Once he got injured the mediocre back end was easily targeted. I think with some upgrades his D could really be special.
