Being a native LA resident, I am a former LA Rams fan who has had no real allegiance to any specific team since they left town. I tend to become a fan of the teams with players or coaches that I like. I can say I became a Tennessee fan when they named Fisher as coach. I've watched almost every Titan game since their Super Bowl year. Being very familiar with a Fisher coached team, I thought I'd mention some things I would expect from the Rams in the future.
1. Physical - His Tennessee teams always tough physical smash mouth teams. His teams were never beat physically. Their games with teams like the Ravens and Steelers were wars.
2. Conservative offensively - He never had a high powered offense. Think runs up the gut to try and eat up the clock and shorten the game. Stephan Jackson will have a huge year if he can still hold up physically. He fits a Fisher team perfectly.
3. Close games - Zuerlein will figure prominently as Fisher's game coaching tries to keep the games close.
4. Aggressive penalties - His teams were never mistaken for the Shula type penalty free teams. Think borderline dirty.
5. Winning ugly - His teams never had a glamorous style of play. They would rather run through you then run around you. Don't expect a reprisal of the "greatest show on turf" under Fisher
The current team I would say is the closest to a Fisher style team is the 49ers. I would anticipate wars with them in the coming years as the Rams improve. I think you can count on Fisher to bring you a solid, hard nosed competitive team in the very near future.
