LA Rams scouting department undergoing changes

[Mackeyser]

He didn’t say he would rest the starters. He said he would sit the injured who might fight through injury if still in playoff contention.

I’d rather not have Ramsey need LCL surgery and maybe lose part or all of next season.

I’d rather we play this game to win but not risk injured players and potentially lose them for the whole or part of next season.

This season seems bad enough. I’d rather it not taint next season as well.

I disagree with this type of mentality.

This year's team clearly didn't show up for the Bucs, Ravens and Cowboys games - McVay holding guys out is giving up on this season, which is essentially McVay not showing up for this game. Based on these three no show games, I think it's important to get a win here. We have a core in place here and it's more about showing them how to operate than wanting to prevent injuries.

Not sure why you quoted me, the outcome of the game most definitely effects draft position.

No worries..tell em to rub some dirt on it and get out there! There are 8 months from now to Week 1 in 2020...lots of time to get healthy!

I know this a lesser thought, but ticket holders have paid for tickets, paid for hotels, flown from overseas to see the last game the Rams will ever play in the Los Angeles Coliseum. This is not a pre-season game, no matter how much we try to describe it as such.

 

[RamDino]

I'm taking my 75 year old Dad to the last game at the Coliseum on Sunday.

Stump.. I hope the Rams can close out the coliseum in style for you and your Dad. Good luck, bro!

 

[A.J. Hicks]

I have seen nor heard any indication from Mcvay that he plans to rest starters that are ready to play.

 

[Merlin]

I suspect the "rested" players will be the injured and those who need some time on the pine like Weddle and Cooks.

If we see guys like Donald sit it will be a very bad sign. That type of decision would not be Sean and means the front office is meddling IMO.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Anyone healthy should play.

That's my take.

Yes, thank you.

 

[den-the-coach]

Avoiding 8-8 is reason enough to me. I can live with 9-7, 8-8 is Fisher time.

However, FWIW, Jeff Fisher never went 8-8 as Head Coach of the Rams.

 

[den-the-coach]

I would sit Goff and go with Bortles, should have been the starter all season long anyway.

 

[FrantikRam]

I quoted you instead of the poster you responded to by mistake.

 

[den-the-coach]

I concur, we will rally around Blake Bortles, John Kelly & Nsimbia Webster and we will play good football!

Very cool....thx! Looking forward to it. Weather should be SoCal perfect!

8-8 was Fisher's dream, and
is McVay's nightmare.

 

[RedRam]

Am I going to get some money back on my season tickets? I'd probably be lucky if I could even sell my two tickets for $50 total.

So much for all the BS we've heard about "pride" and such...

 

[wolfdogg]

If you can play this weekend but arent because we are out of the playoffs, than you shouldnt get a check.

Thank you Mr. Kroenke.

The speculation about the starters was in the video @ the link.

The Rams are set to make significant changes to their defensive coaching staff following a disappointing 2019 season, sources said, with a front office shakeup also likely.
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who is out of contract in 2020, is virtually certain not to be back, sources said, along with assistant head coach/linebackers Joe Barry. The Rams defense has suffered critical breakdowns throughout the season and it has been apparent there for weeks that changes were coming, sources said.
Head coach Sean McVay has lost several trusted assistants to head coach jobs in recent years and will be looking to add veteran coaches to his staff after the Rams went from nearly winning a Super Bowl to missing the playoffs entirely.
Phillips has spent 50 years in coaching and has expressed an interest in continuing to do so in 2020. But the Rams are in transition from a coaching and roster standpoint, and without a first=round pick for the next five years and with player development vital, will be looking for ways to improve in the coaching and scouting ranks.

League sources said several scouts and evaluators are set to move on next year, and while the Rams aren't going to be making big moves at the team president or general manager level, there will be additions coming to the player personnel department, possibly on the pro and college side.
The team is limited from a cash and cap standpoint given how many record-setting contracts have been handed out in recent years, including to players like Todd Gurley and Jared Goff, who did not come close to previous production. With the 49ers and Seahawks looking set up to remain contenders for years, the landscape in the NFC West is only getting more challenging.
The Rams will move into their glistening new stadium in Inglewood next year, with both they and the Chargers struggling to gain a market share, and they'll be doing so with some noticeable changes to the coaching ranks.
