RBTP42: (LA vs. AZ) Family, No Matter What with co-host Nick!

RBTP42 is titled: "Family, No Matter What" in honor of captain Andrew Whitworth's post-game speech to close out the 2019 NFL season for the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams were able to sweep the Arizona Cardinals for the third consecutive year, but it wasn't enough to sneak into the playoffs. The Rams were the only team out of 13 teams with winning records to miss out on a playoff bid, finishing the season with a winning record at 9-7. The Rams Brothers (and head coach Sean McVay) believe that although this season didn't quite live up to expectations, that missing the playoffs was a "blessing in disguise" heading into the 2020 offseason. With plenty to be concerned about, it's fair to wonder if the Rams will ever return to their 2018 form - with lingering salary cap questions, big-time contracts to restructure, and free agents to prioritize over the next few weeks.

In this episode, the Rams Brothers play the role of "Twitter GM" (as some would say) and look very closely into next years' salary cap, suggest roster moves that could clear up a ton of cap for 2020 and recommend players to trade. Additionally, we discuss the future of the coaching staff, and why the Los Angeles Rams were reluctant to send assistants or coordinators to the podium following their victory in the final home game at the Coliseum. There is plenty of concern over bringing in additional help for Sean McVay (an offensive assistant or analyst that won't call plays but can help adjust schemes and tempo mid-game), retaining Wade Phillips and all of his glory and the implications of losing his experience on the staff, and moving on from Jeff Fisher's special teams brain-child, John "Bones" Fassel. It is all addressed in the final #RBTP episode of 2019. Enjoy!
