Hi all. Matt Miler at Mocking the Draft suggested one method to fix the Rams moving forward. I offered a counter-suggestion. Both offer ideas on what the team's philosophy, who to hire as a new GM, head coach, and even suggestions on who to draft. Hope you find both interesting. Here is a snip from my suggestions:

The Rams are guaranteed 8 home games on indoor turf. Their nickname for years was "The Great Show on Turf." They also play one game in Arizona (hot, but fast track turf) and Seattle's Qwest Field (though outdoors in rainy Seattle) is also Field Turf. This means the Rams play 10 games a year on fast turf. For this reason, the focus of the team must be on speed, not power. When you play at Heinz Field, Giants Stadium, or Lambaugh Field, power football is your friend. The surfaces are sometimes muddy, the winds fierce, and the temperature below freezing. For the Rams, that is not their element. 10 games on moderate weather fast turf means speed is the premium. Speed over power. That is the theme.
