Rams request interview with Cleveland oc john defilippo

[FrankenRam]

So clearly they want an upgrade to Boras. Just hope we keep Boras at his previous position.

I think that's a bit of a liberal interpretation. To me, this just indicates they want to explore the options that are available. It could, but doesn't necessarily. mean a change is in the works.

@jrry32 strikes again, he had this.

Yep, Jrry is all over the collegiate and NFL talent, players and coaches.

It doesn't matter if fisher keeps the same way of going about offense

It would be rather stupid to hire an emerging offensive coaching talent just to cramp his style.

 

[Bradmac41]

Very true ,

The Brown's offense was a juggernaut just like the Ram's offense was, cough,cough.

 

[Roman Snow]

Dude turned Gary Barnidge into a 1000 yard TE with 9 TDs catching 64% of his targets...

He's a five year player and those stats are about 7x the amount of production he had last year and basically any other year.

Yea, I could get on that train.

Yeah, is Barnidge under contract or a FA? Maybe he could be coaxed over too. Our current #1 TE's goose is "Cooked". Then we could get their QB "Billy Toupee" in a package deal!....wait....what was that I just smoked?

IIRC they resigned him during the season

I would not mind DeFilippo as our OC. Boras can stay on as tight ends coach as he's done a decent job in that department, but I want a brilliant OC.

 

[Rainram]

Unless Fisher gets an extension, or one of his targets has no other takers, a match seems unlikely. Not many good coaches want a one year try out on a team without a starting QB.

Anybody currently associated with the Browns would/should be open to any opportunities that come their way

Fisher has had same philosophy forever. I can see him now ”We need to keep playing the same way just better more execution ”

Nah. I just throw enough excrement against the wall that something is bound to stick.

[Ram_Rally]

Interesting...

 

[Memento]

Please fucking fate, let's get this guy and not let him leave. And give him full autonomy.

 

[FRO]

This is awesome. I will be heated if we don't land him. He is my top guy. Another guy I would interview is Bill Lazor.

 

[Athos]

The other top guys will wind up HCs with the vacancies this year. Get the guy before he gets other offers.

Good. Glad he's going to interview. Fingers crossed.

At the very least they need to bring in someone to coordinate the passing game to work with Boras if not to be the new coordinator overall.

I also hope they bring in a new WR coach. This staff has yet to develop a WR that can run good routes and generally make a difference in the passing game. And thats with having 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks to work with.

That's part of what made the hiring of Wes so beneficial for our young fly guys. I hope we hang on to Wes.

Fisher has had same philosophy forever. I can see him now ”We need to keep playing the same way just better more execution ”

Fish once had a dynamic QB in Air McNair, a guy who could rumble like a FB, air the ball out with the best of them, and generally be a game changer himself. In TGII, Fish has an 'Eddie George on steroids', but he has had nothing close to the dynamism that McNair strutted so effortlessly. That McNair-led Titan team seriously stretched us in our Super Bowl win. We can be sure that Fish knows his QB's and offensive coaching are lacking some important traits.

Hell, a guy like Case with a strong arm, accuracy, and vision can galvanize our offense along with TGII. We don't really need a game changing QB (although I will certainly not complain if we manage to snare one)---just a competent game manager.

Snaring a coach who can develop a passing game to effectively complement the running game and provide intelligent input on adding QB options would be a seriously positive acquisition.
