2003 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I like this hiring, he did very well with the Rams last year with very few offensive weapons. He led the Rams to have the 8th best offense in the league (http://www.nfl.com/stats/teamsort/NFL/OFF-...ar?sort_col_1=4) with 3 different starting quarterbacks and a mediocre o-line.

TC in St. Louis Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 He had many weapons on the offense, besides the rookie qb from Harvard and the very mediocre Jamie Martin. He had Stephen Jackson, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, Kevin Curtis....and the overrated Orlando Pace, a 1st rounder Alex Barron at the other tackle, Adam Timmerman at guard, and a couple other okay people on the line. The problem is, they were so pass happy that the defense knew they weren't running, so they'd blitz the frack all day long, which led to the injuries to Mark Bulger. I don't think Fairchild is a good choice, and I hope I am 100% wrong. Gotta trust Marv and Jauron, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not feel that they were a "pass happy" team because the Rams averaged 9th in the league in run/pass ratio. With that being said, I'm back on board ro buying the Directv NFL ticket! WOOHOOO!

Nanker Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 OK, I'll say it. "He couldn't possibly be worse than the last two goons that had the position here were." Does this mean they're going to put a dome on The Ralph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dry martini Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I think this is one of those polls that requires further definition in order to more accurately assess the view of the board. May I suggest: Yes No May I have another garbage plate please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 This is where the HC comes in... SF can only do what DJ allows him to do and I believe it is the responsibility of the HC to provide the structure in which teh other coaches operate. For instance, Dan Henning has been doing a decent job in Carolina, but I believe DH's success is dictated by what framework John Fox has laid out for him. Left to his own devices, like Marv did in Buffalo, and the guy was a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
