Is this the same guy who help build "The Greatest Show on Turf" St Louis!?!
It looks like he lost that creative edge for sure. Arrrrgh!

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
Fairchild was our running backs coach when Martz created the Greatest Show on Turf...Fairchild was never the full time playcaller for the Rams, only filling in while Martz was ill, during which the Rams ran more than they passed. -

Bring back Gilbride
He's gotten Eli ranked 8th so far.

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
several people pointed that out when we hired him- of coruse, other people here spun it and said it was a good thing because it meant that we wouldn't be as pass-happy as St. Louis was.Originally posted by WraithComment

Is it just Fairchild or both Marv and Dick memtallity to run and stop the run as well?Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
I don't think any of them have that mentality and that's our whole problem, or, at least where the problems start.Originally posted by justasportsfanComment

I think Dick wants a smashmouth O. Pound the ball but so far it isn't working.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
The point I was trying to make was that the only connection Fairchild has to the greatest show on turf is helping to take it apart.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
oh, we're making the same point.Originally posted by Wraith
When Fairchild first came here, a bunch of people were all excited because of his supposed connection with the "Greatest show on Turf."
When others pointed out that it was Martz and not Fairchild, the same people continued to be excited about Fairchild and defended it by saying he'll run more than the Rams did, which is good.Comment

I was all for that from day one. Hell since Jackson can catch, I'm all for him getting in there as well. Time to try something else.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

I don't know how Wright does blocking like a fullback, but it would be great to see Lynch and Wright in the backfield at the same time. That would certainly keep the D guessing.Originally posted by justasportsfanComment

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
im thinking now it was more martz, cuz fairchild hasnt held up to the hype i was giving him. thats what it has to be. plus i kno martz is a playmaking guru and watched a segment on him i think on opening kickoff so im thinking fairchild wasnt the main reason for the greatest show on turf

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
I thought thats what the offense was supposed to be doing. Maximizing our offense and putting all our weapons out there to use. Thus far, we havent done crap. While we could be using Wright and Jackon in the game, we're putting in Royal "Can't catch a cold", Murphy "My Ass Got Cut", and whatever else chunk of useless meat we have at TE. I just dont get it.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: This is what's driving me crazy about Fairchild!
is it the same for anyone else where it seems like the offense moral goes down when a-train comes on the field? we never move the ball when he's in there and it kida dampens my mood when i see him in. maybe it's because im too excited too early for lynch?? bah.. who knowsComment
