Coach Staley Discussion - Fired

[Xenos]

She does write well. She is the one who Cam insulted (in some eyes) when she asked him a question at a presser some years back. And she is the one who made racist tweets even more years back (in some eyes) when the inevitable research into her took place after Cam insulted her.

Mina Kimes (I probably butchered that and I am sorry) is also a very talented sports writer.

I completely forgot about that. As long as both learned from the experience going forward, I’m more forgiving.

[BlazingBolt]

After reading this it almost sounds like Staleys defense might have had something to do with McVay wanting to change QBs after seeing how it played it in practice after getting shut down a few times previous.


I hope our player pikck up this system quick and it is successful, I am worried there might be some period of adjustment.

I forgot about the Cam Newton thing - he kind of brushed off her question. And not trying to read too much into it - but almost like "hey look at the girl asking me a question"

And I am just thankful twitter was not around when I was a kid as I said some pretty stupid things

Mina Kimes is good - enjoy her so much more than her cohorts like Orlovsky, Spears or Golic Jr (I am not sure Golic Jr has ever said anything of analytical value in his time on ESPN when I have listened)

The Rams picked up the defense without OTAs and a modified training camp. Granted, having two studs like Donald and Jalen Ramsey helps

But with the OTAs, meetings and training camp - hopefully the Chargers defense is further "ahead" of the Rams defense from 12 months ago.

[Heatmiser]

There was not a long adjustment period for the Rams. And this defense is very dissimilar to Wade's which the Rams had been running under McVay. And the Ram offense has been on a downward slope since the superbowl year. McVay had to do something. Certainly not going to admit it was him, but other defenses have figured out how to shut them down.

I do think that Staley knows how to counter the Shanahan offense and the RPO offense pretty well now. It takes an elite QB to routinely beat his defense.

[equivocation]

Other teams will be quick to copy/adjust to the scheme.

My hope is that the key is the coach not the scheme. If he is constantly teaching the players and constantly updating the scheme he can stay ahead of the trends instead of fading into obsolescence.

Part of it is that the NFL has been slow to adapt while the college game adapts a lot faster so there is some slack between the NFL game and college game. A lot of young coaches are finally pushing it forward.

[Heatmiser]

Actually, the thing most stacked against Staley is that most fans and hence the NFL hate defense. If he does too well the NFL will change the rules or tell the refs to call things differently to preserve all the high scoring offense.

Aha!! But Staley wants to be aggressive and sling it on offense.

I really like this new coach the Chargers got themselves. I wish him the best. Players seem to love him.

OIP!!!! So glad to see you. Hope you are well, Brother.
