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!

    • Unless a miracle happens and we're legit SB contenders, I want to just miss the playoffs due to some close losses, not win the division to lose in the first round. We finally have all of our picks again next year, I'd rather be picking 5-7 spots higher in each round, while at the same time, then having a 2nd or 3rd place schedule next year instead of a 1st place one. I just can't see any scenario where we are true contenders this year, but we should find out if Bryce can be our QB of the future.  If he isn't, then we're not making the playoffs anyways and will have a high pick to replace him.  If he is, it means 2026 is the real opening of our SB window once we add some more defensive pieces, so I'd rather go into that season picking earlier and have an easier schedule. And yes, I know people will say think like "you need to win to gain confidence and experience, blah blah blah" But just missing out on the playoffs because you lost couple close games is certainly a way to make a team hungry going into the offseason and keep them motivated to be better. I've said it before and still think it holds true, we need to look at the Lions and hope to repeat their path. Our last few years were their early 2020s when they sucked.  This year can be our version of their 2022 when they missed the playoffs in week 17.  Then our 2026 can be their 2023 when they made a run to the NFC Championship game (and really should have won it).  Which then puts us in line to be one of the best teams in the league going into 2027, as they were last year.
    • Hmmmmm, sounds like a familiar fear And sure, a big part of my fear was the injury concern (that will always follow Bryce around) but the everything else I said is the same. If he's too good to let walk in FA but not good enough to justify a top end contract, we're in the worst possible situation  
    • how much of that is Kyle Shanahan though ? Don't get me wrong Purdy is not a bad QB, but to me he is pretty average
