Respect for Elders?

[Ram65]

The big question is at what point does McVay take it easy on the Raiders if they get a big lead?

I was thinking 4 scores midway through the final period. A 24 point lead. Say the score is 34-10 (my final prediction) at 7:30 mark 4th quarter. Rams start running the ball with backups in.

Let's just hope we get to debate this in real time with a big lead in the 3d or 4th quarter.

Thanks for posting this PT.

But those Grudens still make my skin crawl. :headexplosion:

First off - always respect your elders (especially if they're 70 or older),
and second, I hope we have to make that decision.

Whatevs pops.

Earth is for the young, McVay should give no quarter. The only time I want to see us relax more on offense is when we pull the starters because the lead is so large.

I don't think respect has anything to do with it. If the game is won, take your starters out so you don't risk injury to them.

Jon and Jay seem to be okay as people. They're mediocre coaches though. Jon has a .540 percentage and Jay a .445 percentage as head coaches. Combined they're worse than Jeff Fisher. Chuckie is all style and little substance. He's good for the NFL for now though because he stirs up interest. That will change once the losing continues. Jay is boring just like his team the Redskins.

So I told my better half about this thread, and said, "See, you're suppose to respect me." "You're to ornery, and you never behave your age, so you ain't deserving no respect" she retorted. "Then how's come you married me" I asked? She smiled and said smuggly, "I got in the wrong line, I was trying to get a driver's license."

So thanks for your help guys, but it didn't work.

@Ramrasta and I are very familiar with the Grudens. Especially Jay. I doubt we hear from T since he's being forced to deal with his girlfriend these days.

I'm gonna agree with you ALL THE WAY with your descriptions.

Seems like it was Sean's Family that brought the Grudens into the league though...... not the other way around. That's the history I'm going with.

I like that part.

Well, not thinking anything that extreme... not that I think those words would ever come out of McVay's mouth.

But, there are other ways to slow things down.. like a more conservative play calling scheme. Maybe bring in Fisher to handles those duties.

I was thinking actions speak louder than words. If McVay goes easy on him players will notice. Especially if he goes easy on him when players think he shouldn't. Leadership is a tenuous thing and a leader's personal feelings should never get in the way of what's best for the organization.

to be honest, i think pulling starters at the end of q2 is even more embarrassing.

 

[Corbin]

Well, let's say Rams are up 40-10 midway through 4th qtr. Isn't that in and of itself embarrassing? Is 47-10 that much worse for a final score.

These guys are paid millions of dollars to coach and win football games. They should be above the fray of a tough loss...

Just because your paid millions of dollars doesn’t mean that person is devoid of emotion all of a sudden. As tons of evidence proves, being a professional or a millionaire has nothing to do with emotion.

Jon seems like the kind of guy that would be fun to hang out with and talk football. Him and John Madden. Jay is the kind of guy you'd put in charge of your kid's birthday party.

Good to know.
