I don't like him dropping back into coverage but that is something every OLB has to do and I was okay with that. However, the point I was making was why was he outside covering a WR or TE and not on the line of scrimmage near the RT.I need Dan's @JimY53 help here but I think our D has rules where there are time where we have 5 on the line where it's the OLB's responsibility to drop into coverage. It's a calculated risk at those times.
Is Martingale still relevant?Hope Morris gets his head gig. Also the Rams need a fresh pair of eyes on the D talent. Isn't Wink available?
Apparently he was undermining Daebol in the press anonymously. At least that is what was said on local radio by a guy following the Giants. Sounds like he is a loose cannon, kind of like Buddy Ryan. Not always on board and let's it he known when he is not. Maybe why Harbsugh booted him a few yrs ago.Is Martingale still relevant?
Rams D outperformed the Giants D, significantly.
In my opinion, this is a cynical take based on a belief that Raheem is not a good coach.Can we be honest here? No team is trying this hard and going this far out of their way to get their DC hired as a HC unless they're ready to move on.
I have no doubt that they mean every word they say that they believe Raheem would make a good HC again but I think McVay is ready for an innovator type like Staley back in that position as opposed to someone who's a great leader but not the best tactician. I think McVay saw hiring Raheem as a quick pit stop for a good coach on his way back up the coaching ladder and now he's stuck a little longer than everyone envisioned.
The compensatory picks don't hurt either.
They're not saying anything now, that they weren't saying two years ago.Can we be honest here? No team is trying this hard and going this far out of their way to get their DC hired as a HC unless they're ready to move on.
Possible but I think if they were planning on going a different route that would be in the air right now. Because then if he's not hired away you end up with everyone seeing your BS. Lying outright is crossing the line I think.I have no doubt that they mean every word they say that they believe Raheem would make a good HC again but I think McVay is ready for an innovator type like Staley back in that position as opposed to someone who's a great leader but not the best tactician.
So fire him. This isn't picking teams on the playground. Sheesh.Can we be honest here? No team is trying this hard and going this far out of their way to get their DC hired as a HC unless they're ready to move on.

...Exactly, the way I see it as well. It's why I've been expecting them to "promote" Morris to consultant status so he doesn't have "got his ass fired" on his resume. To me it was when they brought on Jimmy Lake as Asst. HC which is code for no poaching unless it's for a bonafide HC job. It means the team has plans for the guy and don't want to have to openly deny him.
The Rams are trying too hard to sell Raheem and all it does IMO is put a "Buyer Beware" tag on him. Also, I don't think Pleasant comes back unless they made him some promises. He was fine under Wade.
IMO this is coming from Kroenke more than Snead. He's spending millions to build a dynasty type franchise only to be saddled with a DC that plays passive. If I were Stan I'd be livid. You have one of the most innovative HC in McVay but put up with a mediocre DC?
He should trade him to the Chargers since they owe Stan because they are not paying their rent.
