Record your football philosophy here

[leoram]

I like the Conan the Barbarian philosophy the best. It is straightforward, simple, and concise:

1) Crush your enemies
2) See them driven before you
3) Hear the lamentations of the women

I think that just about covers what every team should aspire too!

Niners v Pats - this evil question cannot be answered
[/QUOTE]

The mark of a true Ram Fan. Notice I never chose either.

 

[leoram]

this reminds me of a cookie thats recording my every move.....Defense wins championships...Athletes help...discipline is what my coaches always wanted...luck can't hurt

Yo Champ, try the test.

 

[leoram]

Instead of all the individual questions, I will answer them all with Mike Martz.

99 Rams v 01 Rams: who wins the game

I don't know about anyone else, But I found some of these options Silly! I believe in my moto below, read it please!

Your answers were eerily similar to what I would choose. Particularly about the Pats v Niners & Blue and White. Only disagree on 01 team & players coach. I'm from LA but live in MO so I won't choose either. The thread is silly but I was passing time on my day off work. No substance to be found at this time. Thanks for playing

 

[leoram]

Instead of all the individual questions, I will answer them all with Mike Martz.

Funny thing, Martz produced some of my fondest years as a fan but I disagree with most of the answers he would pick in this thread.

I'll come back to it. I didn't have the time to consider the post with the family home. My 3 year old is very demanding of my attention.

Defense.

85 Bears and the early Rams teams with the Fearsome Foursome and great running backs are the types of NFL football I love.



OLine.

Give me an excellent OLine and even mediocre skill players will play better.



Pocket Only passers.

Less chance of the QB getting hurt. Often times the dual threat types are poor at reading defenses and making adjustments.



Running game.

Eats up the clock, keeps the QB healthier, and works well along with a good D.



Power Blocking.

Go on the offensive and run it down their throats. Eventually the opposing D will wear down as the game gets into the fourth quarter.



Can't pick either one. Depends on the personnel.



Again, can't choose either one. A team needs both types.



Power.

Wears down the opposition.



Need a good mix of both. I would tilt towards vets being in the majority.



Production.

The Rams have been in the "potential" stage for far too long.



Pass rush.

We get burned when the pass rush isn't there. Pressure causes fumbles and interceptions.



Great players.

Great coaching will get crappy players maybe to a little higher level but not much.



Smart.

Athletic and stupid causes penalties and missed assignments.



Proven methods.

Tried and true is the best route.



Long range.

Win now causes franchises to overreach and pay for it later.



Aggressive Entertainment.

If I wanted safety I'd watch golf.



Disciplinarian.

This is where Fisher is lax and it's the cause of too many boneheaded penalties.



Character.

But most teams like the Rams have a mix of both.



Sex then football.



Wise.

How many stupid penalties have we seen this team make because a player got ticked off?



Rudy.

Phillips was an implosion waiting to happen.



Outdoor.

Never did care for the Ed Dome. Play in the snow, the wind, and the rain like men.



Blue & White.

My favorite.



Niners.

They are the worst of the worst. But then I'm an old-time Rams fan who grew up in the SF Bay area.



More Replay.

There are only 16 games and the playoffs in a season so every game is hugely important. Get it right no matter what it takes.



Loyalty.

But then again it's not my money.



99 Rams.

Because they won it all while the 01 Rams didn't.

*Skipped a couple questions because I didn't want to answer them. Thanks for the thread.*

I'm with PT on most everything.

99 Rams v 01 Rams: who wins the game
Which players were superior in 99?

 

[jrry32]

The 99 defense was superior, Vermeil was a better HC than Martz, and Warner was playing at a higher level.

Okay, leoram, I have one for you:

Becker v Fagen

Not that easy, is it?

 

[thehammer]

1st off D2 production is nearly worthless...sparq rules
as to philosophy..hire the right coach who finds the best qb to run his system= wins

till you have the right coach nothing else matters...don't care if he favors O or the D or runs power/vs zone or pass/vs run...the coach followed by the qb is everything

The choices we make in life tend to reflect our core philosophies. The Rams are about to make significant choices, but since we have to wait for theirs, I wish to poll yours.

The following is a profile. It helps us clarify our understanding of each other as fans. In this dearth of new info, I thought this would be fun. There will be tough choices and you will want to qualify your responses. Nevertheless, it can be a time of reflection.
Just choose one over the other and see what kind of team you built. Most of the time you will want to say BOTH but it's not allowed in this game. You HAVE to choose one or the other. Hey, my thread...my rules.

Offense v Defense: Defense
OLine v Skill positions: Oline
Pocket Only passers v Dual Threats: Pocket
Running game v Passing game: Passing
Zone blocking v Power Blocking: Power
Spread v Play Action: Play Action
Risk/Reward players v Safe players: Little of both.....sorry cant answer one or the other.
Speed v Power: Speed
Youth v Vets: Mix...sorry again, but you cant pick one.
Production v Potential: Production
Pass rush v Coverage: Coverage
Great coaching v Great Players: Coaching
Smart v Athletic: Smart
Proven methods v Innovation: Proven
Win now v Long range: Mix of both
Safety v Aggressive Entertainment: Aggressive
Players Coach v Disciplinarian: A winning coach is a players coach who listen to him, which by definition would be a disciplinarian also.
Character v Talent: Talent
Sex v Football: Sex then more sex.
Aggressive v Wise: wise
Rudy v Lawrence Phillips before you knew he couldn't rehabilitate: Rudy
Indoor Stadium v Outdoor: Outdoor
Div II College Production v SPARQ
LA v St Louis: Boston
Blue & White/ Old Gold/ Modern Look: Old Gold
Niners v Pats: Pats
Old School v Next Gen: Don't care.
More Replay/ No Replay: No replay
As an Owner: Money v Loyalty: Loyalty
99 Rams v 01 Rams: who wins the game: 99

BTW: I realize this is a cruel test, but we love a cruel game and think we can judge those who make it their careers so we should hold to a similar scrutiny. I actually called myself an AHole after asking many of the questions.

I agree. But very often, a blend of the two comes out even better.

 

[LACHAMP46]

I see a lot of coaching in liu of QB....is Belichick a great QB because of Brady? Or is it the other way around? Does Vermiel win a SB w/out Warner? Does AZ even go to one? What came first the chicken or the egg? Did Landry make Staubach? Did Noll make Bradshaw? Don't over think this people, QB's win....
