LA Rams LB Coach Joe Barry signs new contract to return

[Reddog99]

I'd like to give Wade atleast one more season. Other than the few games that got away from us it seemed like the defense was headed in the right direction. We held the opposing teams to low scores outside of those blowout losses. Get #99 some help on the line along with some upgrades at LB plus JJ coming back I think the defense will shine next season. I hope so anyway.

I'm so sick of people and this fucking different opinion button.

Speak up. Explain to me how Donald cant go back inside with gains with Fox and hopefully Fowler on the outside.

Explain to me how our secondary wouldn't work

And then how I was wrong about the LBs.

One key element in McVay's fast start with the Rams and all the success he's had has been Wade Phillips not being a "friend of" type hire that young head coaches make. So personally I am not happy with this move even though I do understand that his age, his contract running out, and the changes that are coming on defense jive with bringing in a new DC.

I expect Wade to go to Dallas now and help the Cowpokes start a run.

But anyway. They better nail this replacement hire.

Wade is a legend but I agree with the move . Question is do they stay 3-4 or go back to a 4-3 ?

Personally I like the 4-3 with bigger guys up front and putting more emphasis on stopping the run .

Should be interesting.

How about we have this jack ass be our D Coord. so the TV station Can cut to him every fucking 5 seconds saying he’s hyped up.

Stupid pos



on a Wade note, the writing was on the wall. There were times the D was just a mere dressing to have someone on the field while the offense marched up and down the scoring or putting together drives. Can’t be so wishy washy with consistency.

I liked wade .. but hopefully he can retire and spend time with his family or hired back as like a defensive advisor .. I like a 4-3 D .. I’m just not sure this is the off season we try and change it .. lack of fire power in the draft .. cap room .. may be issues retooling

Shocking but at the same time you had to know some big changes was ahead. Just didn't expect it to be Wade. I honestly feel like we will either go back to the 4-3 or transition to it.

Will be a very interesting off season.

I appreciate Wade for stabilizing this defense during the transition of a young head coach trying to ease in; enjoy retirement, shame he couldn't get his second ring with us.

I'm hoping for the 4-3 to come back

That's gonna involve more roster turnover, especially with our linebackers. I don't mind the change, I just hope there's a contingency plan to mitigate the effects on scheme change

Not sure what I think of this...

For those who don't read Robinson, he seems to be about as dialed into the Rams as any reporter these days. Click on link to read entire thread, well worth it.

Put me down for Marvin Lewis as DC!

 

[Dodgersrf]

Ok.
Now we hold our breath and hope for someone better.

I'm a bit nervous with this move.

 

[I like Rams]

I dont think our defense was much different this year than the last couple years. Every season with wade we had some games where we gave up a ton of points and then others we shut teams out. Only thing is is our offense was able to keep up and mask the fact our D was giving up points. No offense this season made the lack of D much more glaring. I really hope we go outside for a DC.

Lewis just interviewed for a HC spot. I thought he wants to come in at a DC.
