Let's see here...
Brown was moved to TEs.
Robinson took over pass game coordinator duties.
Sample was hired for RBs.
Shula was moved to DBs and took over defensive pass game coordinator duties.
Beake was hired for ILBs.
Bogardus was moved to OLBs.
Not certain who is the Rams run game coordinator. I presume it is Brown but cannot recall if McVay has discussed this with the media and it is not listed on the Rams coaching page.
So starting with Brown the return has not been good. McVay has acted like he's sitting on a fucking diamond with Brown from day one. But is he. I am not so sure about that. Brown has been with us since 2020 and as RB coach he did not impress me. First off he allowed the team to continue on with the same shit in the backfield and if he was as good as everyone says why wouldn't there have been a goddamn addition who was worth a shit via the draft. You can find RBs all over in the draft. Then they move him to TE this year and we get into the season with the worst fucking TE group in recent memory which is really saying something, given the problems we've had at that position historically.
Also and btw it seems to me that at least with Wes Phillips as TE coach our guys were well prepared. Even the depth types called upon during the playoff run delivered. But now they unilaterally look like dog shit. Even Higs, who historically has hovered somewhere between solid and good, has looked like garbage.
Question I have is whether Brown is the Rams run game coordinator. And if he is maybe that's part of the problem. The dude seems to be in over his head, in terms of looking at the product he's fielding, and this is not a new thing.
Neither Robinson nor Sample seem to be particularly good at what they do either. Robinson in yesterday's game had a good plan put together but the moment SF started dialing up extra rushers the Rams offense was clueless. There were zero hot adjustments, Stafford just got sacked. Sample has overseen a RB group that looks like shit on the field and who reportedly had an explosion by Akers in a team meeting, which seems unlike the guy I thought he was. If we were talking about these guys as players they'd be looking positively JAG-like. I mean for all the shit I just gave Brown he at least never had a RB freak out over playing time, he managed that shit.
We are now the proud owners of the 23rd ranked defense in passer rating allowed. So not impressed by Shula so far in his new responsibilities. Somehow fielding two SS types at safety makes sense to him, and even worse is that Rapp is one of them and he's a guy who we've bitched about forever here. Scott pissed me off yesterday but I get giving him a shot, but we're a contender not a fucking development team so we need production.
Beake appears to be doing his job but the Rams are 13th in average yards per rush which seems on the low end given some of the pieces he has to work with. They have done well with missed tackle rate, though when they play the 9ers that seems to go out the window.
Bogardus hasn't done shit with the OLBs. Our crappy rotational types played better under Henderson last year. Floyd has not looked particularly good for some time so don't want to blame Thad with that but overall I am not happy with his unit even considering the quality problem at the top of the roster.
