I don’t have an opinion on MLF either way. Just like JG I have a wait and see attitude.

What I do have an opinion on is keeping Ralis which is an absolute mistake given how poor our defense played in big situations and zero pash rush in many circumstances.

If MLF wants Ralis he wasn’t paying attention last season after seeing many players regress from the start of the season.

I don't see the point of these takes.

If some rando claimed to have dubious inside info not reported on mainstream sites, that would be one thing. But if someone compiles and posts easily corroborated information, who cares how many followers the page has?

Do you decide what to believe based on the popularity of the source?

How many followers do YOU have to make anything you say credible?
Boomer mentality brother.

I have a MIDF & once upon a time she was a MLF lol.


All jokes aside I'm not calling him that, ML works just fine & is easier on the keyboard strokes lol.

Would love to get a stud bookend to go with Paris and a young quarterback for lafleur to work with added to what we already have….
Would you be alright going into this season with Brissett and getting either Simpson, Nussmeier, etc. to back him up a year?

Yes, I agree. I also saw a video (forgot when it was from, but I think last year) where LaFleur highly praises McVay and Shanahan for their ability to spot coaching talent and how well coaches develop on those staffs. It is at least interesting regarding coordinators.

Mainly for that reason, my guess is Dave Ragone as OC and Aubrey Pleasant as DC. My preference would be Thomas Brown and Jim Schwartz, but I have no idea if that is even realistic.

The Rams do have Jimmy Lake as a defensive assistant, and he has been both a multiple time DC and three years as a head coach. I guess we could call him a dark horse.

Another thing I thought of, wasn't there a report saying that Ossenfort preferred Campanile because of his culture building? Well, Weaver is a bit the same type, so that might be another perspective to think of.

Do you have a preference for someone, Slanidrac?
RAID the Rams! Neil Shaalhausse( sp) worked closely with ML would be my first choice.
On defense there seems to be quite a few qualified guys. Ultimately I want the guy that ML wants rven if it’s Rallis…as long as he REALLY wants him.

“We had the opportunity to speak with an outstanding group of candidates during this very thorough process and gathered tremendous insight from each of them. At the end of that process, it was clear that Mike LaFleur possesses all the traits necessary to lead this team to success as its head coach," Bidwill said in a statement after the hire became official.

Need to add MLF (and all iterations of it) to the banned word list. It doesn’t fit, is not funny and is, frankly, boarder line offensive IMO. Very juvenile.
MLF has been the official way to type out his name for 5 years now. Its the easiest way to differentiate him from his big brother.

You cant just call him LaFleur, and using another acronym or nickname? Well, no one would know who you're talking about. ML also belongs to his brother.

Totally unnecessary on this board. When people now say ML here it will refer to Mike LaFleur.
