I refuse to believe that man anymore.

He really is opposite man.  Every time he says something the complete opposite happens.  There's just so much BS ; he doesn't even seem bought into his own shtick anymore. Let's see..

  • Says we'll incorporate Shi Smith into the run game and be a run heavy team; proceeds to run a fraction of the time and with a passing game focus on Keith Kirkwood and force feeding a now unreliable Robby.
  • So many instances of hyping said player only for them to either be released or nothing happens
  • Admission of how and when opposing teams played chess to our checkers (Like don't admit this stuff, it opens the windows to your scheming; or lack thereof)
  • Missed assignments and no leaders on offense (The missed assignments showcase bad coaching)

The biggest thing is the sheer lack of focus and ill-preparedness.  It seems worse than last season.  Foxball actually worked (during that era) when it was well executed, had the play action groove going with Smitty and Moose.  Had an awesome primary back with fun young compliments.  Diverse misdirects, counters, belly runs, etc.  

We are diving and stretch running.  And our spread offense strangely leaves so many guys outside in the shallow flat; in areas primed for sideline interceptions.  And the slant routes are in the kill zone.  Not deep or short enough.  Leading WRs into a fricken LB rocket launch.   

It's a bad playbook.  Like a poor man's Andy Reid system.  This is coming from an offensive coach, with a supposed rising OC future HC, and some of the worst current QB play in the league. Yuckers.

Opposite man Opposite man does the opposite of what comes out of his can

He says a word its Opposite than, opposite man

    • No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.
    • We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks. 
    • I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
