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!

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
