John Ramsdell - Senior Offensive Assistant?

Recommended Posts

I just noticed this today.  No teamsite info, no google info.  I think I might've been the first to see this.  

Obviously if not, disregard and go easy. 

 

This is a pretty massive move for the team, in my opinion.   Those of us that pay attention to that stuff, he was the top choice for a few of us for OC in '11.  Also Lance Taylor's gone as assistant WRs coach, which is a spot I hope we fill.

Holy hell!  How did that go unreported?

 

(he has no bio yet; his photo looks like the same one from the Charger page; maybe it just happened)

 

Ramsdell is a guy I've coveted for our coaching staff for a while now. Generic title could mean he's teaming with Shula to work on the offense in general (especially with a word like 'senior' in there).

 

Awesome find, Mags.  I'm stoked :D

yeah. I'm sure everyone's thinking, what in the blue hell is all this about?  

 

 For the uninitiated this could be massive - Shula's a modestly experienced coordinator on a team that's conservative in its approach.  Add in that all the assistants on offense with any real pull, the vets, are all running game guys (OL, RB, etc).  I like both Dorsey and Proehl a lot - but both are green, and neither have that vet touch to the O that can help our passing game. 

 

So Ramsdell's spent 20 years under a couple of the aces of this offense's development.  Problem solved there, at least in experience.

Great reporting Magnus!

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
