Does being in LA change anything strategically?

I'm wondering what everyone thinks in regards to whether the relocation changes how Snead/Fisher approach the team. The Rams offense is about as dull as it gets in the NFL. Will they attempt to be more entertaining? Does that even factor in?

I think there will more focus on winning now that relocation is settled. A mediocre team, if anything, helped relocation. I'm not going all conspiracy but i'm guess being mediocre in St. Louis wasn't seen as all bad by Kroenke. He's gotten to L.A. To succeed in L.A. the Rams need to better. So i expect more focus on that.
The first sign to me would be an out of the house OC hire but we'll see...

Stan's checkbook is all warmed up, so let's find us a QB and a OC that will put our offense on the map.
But do it quickly while Fisher is busy relocating the team,,, lol

Yes, I think the focus will be more on winning now. It was said somewhere yesterday that Kroenke said he will put a winning or successful team on the field in LA.
Something about our 5 game losing streak just seems off to me, I'm not full out conspiracy on it - but, it was sure convenient they started winning right after we couldn't make the play-offs. I don't expect to see that kind of losing in LA.
Agree, first order should be an OC from somewhere else and Fisher to hand it fully over to him.

I think playing on real grass in Coliseum for 3 years then moving to turf in COC 2019 means less wear and tear on Gurley!

Free Agent Vets will be more likely to want to come and play for the Rams now that they are in LA.

I think we all agree on this. But - is Fisher willing and able to do it?

Not only is L.A. the city more desirable for a lot of free agents, having the relocation issue off of the table makes the Rams more attractive too.

Hopefully Stan Kroenke will be asking himself that question soon...
