The LA sun will do that. The WR's can expect sunblock on the ball. :lol:

They moved back to Los Angeles, that was kind of interesting...


Oh, that...

I've always wondered what would happen if you put an un-coachable player on a team with a staff that can't coach. Do the two things cancel each other out?


Hilarious. Well, Fisher is doing his part. Now we just need Snead to bring in some half-wit and we'll put your hypothesis to the test.

Noooo,, although up 'til now it has resembled that remark.

I want Fisher to succeed. I haven't given up on Foles, either. Foles had his moments early in the season, and with a more experienced OL this year the offense might come around. However, Fisher will have to change his coaching style, and that is the big question going into 2016.

I find it very strange that Fisher, with all his experience and connections, can't wrangle an experienced OC to come here. Either Boras is the bees-knees of offensive coordinators, or Fisher needs to pee in a cup because he must be on something really bad to scare off all the experienced OCs.

First, how many of those do you think there are? 8-)

Second, that was never the intention. Fisher was apparently trying to hire a passing game coordinator to work with Boras. He wasn't doing a general coordinator hire.

I like the Groh hire, myself. And I have no reason yet to doubt Boras, who is the coordinator.

This goes back to last year too when we didn't get a whole lot of outside interest in the open OC job. Now maybe nobody wants the job or maybe Fisher really believes in what he's doing and didn't want to make wholesale changes.

And Fisher really hasn't had good offense since the days of Mike Heimerdinger in Tennessee so a little skepticism seems warranted to me.

That said, here's hoping (against all available evidence to the contrary) Fisher knows what he's doing with the offense...

Like the old saying goes, "Too many chefs in the kitchen spoil the peanut butter and jelly sandwich". I'd rather see one guy responsible for the whole works. No other team has an OC that requires a passing game coordinator, at least to my knowledge. If we are doing something different than everyone else, and being unsuccessful to boot, then Fisher seems clueless.

We have more coaches than any other team according to some article a ways back. It just seems weird, and I don't think very effective.

Personally, I prefer almond butter and wild blueberry jelly sandwiches.
