Manning. The guy who wasn't a playoff beast when he should have been. Illuminating.

I wonder what his HC thinks of that statement.

Both Mannings are buttholes. I've seen John Pagano's defenses for years come out in the second half of games and completely shut down offenses That was his role with Wade Phillips who had him in the booth charting the offense and game planning the second half. This is why when Phillips became HC in Houston he tried to take Pagano with him but was denied.

This came out during an interview with JR Seau who talked about the differences between the 3-4 hybrid vs a standard 3-4 and 4-3 scheme. The hybrid scheme (the scheme the current Rams were built to run) gives the DC the extra flexibility to make those adjustments. The same can be said about offenses. The Mannings either don't know or they are lying.

Hell, even good college teams do the same thing. How many times have you seen teams get stoned in the first half and then explode in the second, either offensively or on defense? This is the difference a good coaching staff makes. This is also why teams have migrated to the 3-4 hybrid, i.e. sometimes called 4i scheme. It's why I keep saying that Morris isn't using his personnel properly. Morris is strictly a 4-3 scheme guy and plays this roster that way. It's why he took a #1 ranked defense and tanked it in two years to an 18th ranked unit.
Staley's defense took a dive with the Chargers. It was unique in several ways when he was the Rams' DC, kind of how Martz took the Zampese offense, expanded and adapted it to the '99 talent w Faulk. The regression of this Staley defense was natural as offenses took an offseason to analyze how to attack it. So answers to those attacks develop over time. Staley learned some hard lessons the last two years just as Morris has. Fans simply aren't privy to all that happens to develop a system and implement it on the fly. Coaches focus on processes while fans focus on results. An example to demonstrate my point is the 2013 Redskins. On that staff were Mike and Kyle Shanahan, Matt LaFleur, Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Aubrey Pleasant, Raheem Morris, and Jim Haslett. That team went 3-13. History tells us that was one fairly talented coaching staff. My point? Effective coaching and coordination doesn't ALWAYS translate to immediate results.

I think with the Microsoft surface tablets they all have on the sidelines nowadays, adjustments can be made much easier during the game than spending at the half
