Coach Staley Discussion - Fired

As recently as earlier this year, it was almost universally accepted that the Rams way was THE way in 2022 and beyond.

After all, they have Super Bowl winning Head Coach Sean McVie and purported genius Les Sneed.

The Rams are now a real mess. They have gaping weaknesses.

We have an offensive line. Rams don't.

We have Justin Herbert. They have rapidly aging Matthew Stafford.

Rams have Jalen Ramsey, fallen off a cliff, and Aaron Donald, but little else.

Chargers have some difference makers on defense...see Derwin and bookends Mack/Bosa.

Do not make the mistake of equating one challenging season, with being completely off track.

I fully expect Brandon Staley and Renaldo Hill get get this defense to middle of the pack, with a winning scoring defense.

Joe Lombardi, with the pieces he needs will get our offense to near the top in scoring offense.

You forget one small thing

The Rams have a Super Bowl.

You do realize that many football people around the NFL consider missing playoffs for 2 years and coaching around 500 with Justin Herbert as your QB a failure?

Is this staff truly maximizing Herberts full arsenal of talent and his immense potential? NO

From today’s Jason La Confora’s Washington Post article this a.m.: “They’ve wasted the three cheapest years of Herbert’s career,” said one NFL GM, who isn’t permitted to talk about other franchises. “[Staley] has to go. They can’t keep him.”

Incredible fall as Staley was billed as the next Sean McVay to clearly being seen around the league as in-over-his-head.

Moving-on from Staley won’t matter as long as Telesco is around; cleaning house should entail cleaning the entire house….

I did misspell McVay, but mentioned the Super Bowl win.

We are close ?

--We are within a whisker of having a 3 headed monster, with nightmare matchups at WR.
KA-MW-Palmer. Re sign Speedy Guyton. Several restructures. Re sign Pipkins. The only missing piece to a Sean Payton/Joe Lombardi model is RB#1B.

--Get the defense to middle of the pack in scoring.

Daboll was the obvious HC pick but John boy probably found him intimidating.

Been a bit of chatter between Orlovsky and Warren Sharp today on Daboll and the Chargers as both think the playcalling would be better

As I recall, Schefter broke the story the Saturday morning of the Ravens/Bills game (it was the later game of the two play off games that Saturday). that Daboll was the "front runner"

I was rooting for the Ravens to allow Daboll to be the hire. Bills won and by Sunday night, the Chargers hired Staley. Peter Shrager reported the Chargers didn't want to lose out on Staley to the Texans or the Eagles

So did JohnBoy panic that it was going to be a WHOLE SEVEN more days to get Daboll and they had to have a coach in place so they jumped at STaley?

Or like you said, they didn't want a Daboll type. I have zero doubt the offense would be better under Daboll

I think Staley probably have a great interview. We all heard his pressers at the beginning. Shit I liked him. I could see why they did. But they needed to be clear headed.

daboll’s one thing but getting wink as DC was masterful

Not only the offence

They spent 112 million on the defence this off season.
The result under defensive specialist" Brandon Staley...the worst run defence numbers since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger....a league high 13 TDS against of 20 yards or more

I agree. Staley gives good (ahem) interview.

What bothers me is Staley brought in Lombardi and Hill, both of which we’re mistakes and have to go.

Don’tcha know? It was Tillery’s fault.

Rams have Cooper Cupp and Stafford on injured reserve along with many other starters. You sayin Chargers can play the injury card but Rams can’t?

If posters were to scrutinize game film, they would see a whole bunch of almosts. There are times that momentum swings and opportunities are missed.

We are only in year two of Staley and his ideas. Let them continue to develop, with healthier personnel, additions and subtractings, fine tuning our depth to fit Staley's scheme.

It is shocking to see posters calling for things that will inevitably perpetuate failure. The answers are simple but not easy.

I think most expect us to lose to the Dolphins, but I see our competitive Chargers players bouncing back. As always, it is and should be, one game at a time.

Dolphins are vulnerable on the edge. Chargers should be able to get Tua off his spot. But the backend can't cover all day.

Hill beats every team in the league. So he probably gets loose for a big play or two.

The problem for Chargers is can they block well enough to protect Herbert to score enough points to win. It's likely to be some heavy pressure on Justin. Yet, they probably find themselves in a one score game late with a chance to win. They have found a way to give themselves chances. Staley is making no excuses.

Will they be good enough to get the win Sunday.
I'll be watching and rooting for them
