Rams get OK to interview Chudzinski

Well he did leave the Chargers for us...and we were the worst last year. So I wouldn't fact that into a reason for him not talking a job somewhere

I was talking about Williams leaving the Saints for the Rams.

Obviously I don't think we are one of the best teams in the NFL, plus Chud would be going from OC to HC. I would totally understand and agree with that move.

But someone going from DC of one of the best teams, and a team where the offense is so good that your playcalling doesn't really even need to be that good, to DC of one of the worst teams makes no sense.

We were six and ten. The fug did our coaches do that was soo special...at least wait until we post a winning record before you poach our guys, other teams.

The only things it could possibly be are (1) the amazing improvement in the offense from 2010 to 2011 and (2) the Cam Effect.

Or maybe just (2) if you think (2) is directly responsible for (1).

i think it's the philosophy of being aggressive and forward thinking as well as planning/scheming/building around your players strengths that makes him (chud) so attractive.

we couldn't have become the offensive powerhouse without newton, but it took a coach willing to take the reigns off, so to speak, for it to happen.

not all coaches are willing to allow their young QB to risk so much on the field. usually the MO is to play it safe with them and put them in situations where they have safe and limited throws to protect them from making mistakes.

that wasn't what chud did. he allowed cam to be cam and built around the obvious strengths he had and allowed him to make mistakes and learn through them all year.

massive props to him for that. they both benefited from each others presence this year and they will both continue to benefit from a continued relationship here.

I don't know why Greg Williams would leave for another team to try and assemble another defense when he's already on a championship caliber team and wants to be a HC...
maybe assistant head coach title, more pay, and a better parking spot?

still...i can't imagine him getting the freedom he gets in new orleans to call dirty plays like he does without repercussions from the league. if he leaves he'll be out of the leagues good graces/blindspot.

Maybe he would rather not face Cam twice a year? Brees can't keep going forever and it is just a matter of time until his defense looks like poo. He might be trying to stay ahead of the curve.

I doubt that would be the case.. but as with anything, I guess the possibility exists..

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
