Restoring the Roar

Strange name for the vid, unless I am missing the reference, but Kollmann is always a great watch. If people aren't paying attention to what's happening in Detroit, then they are gonna get got. That division is theirs for the taking.... If not the conference.

I'm a bit jealous of Campbell's respect for the physical elements of the game. The guy seems like he's going to be pretty good, though he did make a significant mistake in not firing his DC this offseason. Glenn btw seems like a great dude but he's not the DC you need to elevate a franchise. So now Campbell is going to piss away another season where the defense comes up short.

We just need Donald for a third rounder. Isn't that the Rams are wanting for all pro players? ~ Cambell.

I might not get around to this one until Friday but a quick preview it looks well put together.

Even if not a Lions fan, their story is very interesting right now and as a lovable loser they are easy to root for.

Thanks for posting the video.

I still have my doubts about Campbell, the personnel is there on the offensive side of the ball, defense seemed to come around. Still though, with a playoff berth in their sights last year, they laid an egg and were eviscerated by a lousy Carolina team

Yeah, I watched him blow a few games last yr with poor clock & end of game management. The Viking game in particular sticks out. At times being too conservative on 3rd dwn play calls then going for it on 4th down stupidly.

From what I've heard Pleasant was the scapegoat for a lot of Glenn's mistakes which is why he's back here in LA. Glenn installed a Fangio style defense, much like Morris ran here for the past two years. It's in essence a read / react style to not dominate an offense but to limit big plays. Pleasant got the blame for the failure of that scheme instituted by Glenn. Interestingly, under Staley, Ram DBs played aggressively and helped lift this defense into a number one ranking. Interestingly, once his whipping boy was gone Glenn dumped the Fangio style defense and moved to a 3-4 hybrid one gap, attacking style of scheme, which the Ravens and Duker who was a defensive assistant in Baltimore play. Suddenly the defense is playing better. IMO it wasn't Pleasant that was the problem it was Glenn's Fangio read / react style that he insisted upon that was the problem.

So I'm hoping that Pleasant can bring back that aggressive style of DB play the Rams had under Staley within the framework of Morris' Tampa Two style two deep shell. Duker is probably going to save Glenn's ass in the same way Pleasant might save Morris' butt. Like I've said I don't care if Morris is calling the plays, he's just poor coaching the players. C'mon Aubrey bring back that Staley aggressive style.
