All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
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.

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.

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

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.

oh, we're making the same point.
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.

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.
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.
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

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.
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 knows
