Going to be one hell of an off-season, very curious on what McVay has in mind for replacements. Already looking forward and hoping all these changes make a difference, because if we tank worse next season, I will have to question McVays intelligence.

Damn, didnt expect this one .

Mcvay seems to be on a mission in 2020 and I like it . Just hope we can find upgrades to Wade and Bones.
We won't find an upgrade to Bones.

So did we just not compete with Dallas over Bones? Or was this just a total fuck up?
Sounds like the later...

We were ranked 23rd in ST's in 2019.

Ranked 17th in 2018.


Not exactly stellar rankings as was once before.

Doesn't matter how good he appears. It appeared he got stale with this team for some reason.

I still trust McVay.
The reason was Legatron had an off year. Nothing Bones could do about his psyche-flawed or injury ridden performances. I'm so fu&*in pissed about this.

He was a free agent, dude. Nothing we can do if he wanted to go to Dallas.

What's the big deal?

Punt the ball down there that away;

and

kick the ball through those yellow thingies.

How great of a coach do you need to be?

Or, is it the players that make the special teams good? Hmmm.

I'd blame it more on shit return guys myself.

I really think the nail in the coffin was the fake punt deep in our territory week 17.

.

I have no feelings about this.

After the whiner game no person in the building was safe.

I might get some grief for my personal opinion but here I go.

like many on here. I sensed Wade would not be brought back and I agree with McVay & company on this decision..

As far a Fassel, I agree with the decision to let him take his show to Jerry world.

As far as Cory Littleton, I sense he's not getting resigned to the mega buck contract many think he deserves and I'm fine if that happens.

As far a Fowler & Brockers, I'm not sold that they are going to be worth their F/A market value.

Weddle we all expect to be released and Clay Matthews is probably 50/50 to return and I"m fine with that.

The Rams have had a great 3 year run but the moves they're making via coaching and the ones they make down the road on player personnel are decisions I trust McVay and company to be the right ones.

McVay is no longer a puppy head coach and he's learned a lot from his mistakes over the last 3 seasons.

I trust this organization to make tough decisions and so far they're doing just that.

Will these decisions all pan out? Very unlikely, but I'm on board with their vision and look forward to some more unexpected things to happen.

The Rams punt coverage and punt return teams have been regressing. Natson had no room to run. Even Hekker and JZ regressed. There has been a change of core ST players from three/two years. There have been lots of penalties as well. Sometimes both sides need a change. McVay will find someone that can reenergize the Special Teams. Bones is buried to me as he is now a Cowgirl.

If you reach the end of a deal and your current employer does little to keep you and Dallas is offereing a shitload of cash, that means we didn't try that hard. We'll find out more, but we know this is basically a lateral move, not really a promotion...

Yes, we don't know what was offered or not offered, but it doesn't look good.
