Interesting. The Rams were previously linked to Rob Ryan. The Lions secondary was very poor this past season.

Would've rather had Ryan. But, as long as we stay in the 4-3, and Fisher keeps his prints all over the D, then it should be a decent hire.

| Like I said in the Detroit forum, the Rams have made no secret about the types of players they are targeting over the past year. Bringing in a Lions coach doesnt surprise me at all. |

Like it was said in the Detroit forum, what thugs did Walton coach?

Meh, Pierce was better. I would have gone with him personally. Maybe Roger too, but he's a little old now.

Jerks. He is a great coach, and will definitely help your secondary. He took a larger role this past season, so it's no surprise he's taking it one step further. Even though our secondary has been bad, we haven't spent top resources on it and we have been plagued with injuries. Honestly, with their DL, he could help make them a top 5 defense by improving the secondary. He also has developed Chris Houston from a cast off into a good player. He had a 5th round rookie ready to play in a short time. Our 3rd round rookie was able to start day 1 but got injured. He also helped revive Eric Wrights career and he also made a UDFA into a half decent outside CB.

As in the Detroit forum as well you showed how ignorant you are about this and that you are just trolling along.
| Packers United wrote: | | diehardlionfan wrote: | | Packers United wrote: | | If your going out of your away to acquire thugs in the offseason you might as well get a coach with some experience in dealing with them. |
Exactly what experience does he have dealing with thugs? |
I just assumed that since he was in the Lions forum he was a coach of the Lions the last couple of years, if not my mistake. Never heard of him and don't want to tarnish his name if thats the case. |

Agreed. We have a terrible terrible secondary but it was not his fault. Lack of focus on our secondary and bad pick selections have made it the worst secondary. It would have been even worse without him as a coach though. I think now that he has more to work with, it will show how good of a coach he is.
This is a great hire and a big loss for us.

| Rams also interviewed Singletary, - Jauron, and Rob Ryan for the DC position. Out of all of those names, I am glad that the Rams chose Tim Walton. Jauron and Ryan have proven to be mediocre at best and I think Singletary would be a horrible DC. Walton is an unknown, so he might be great or he might be horrible, but I would take the potential to be great over a guy who would most assuredly be average at best. |

Well if he can develop Trumaine Johnson and Janoris Jenkins into good players, the Rams will have the best nickel package in the league.

I've liked this since we were interviewing him. Fisher wanted him as Assistant DC in charge of the pass defense last year. He obviously thinks the world of the guy.
I like us going after a young, up and coming DC candidate. Walton has done a nice job of coaching up what Detroit has given him and is somewhat versed in Fisher's scheme since he worked with Schwartz.

I hate this move with a passion, Which means that It will end up being a great move. DET is a horrible place to get defensive help.
It's like drafting players from small schools. Hey at least were THUGGING IT UP.. RAWR!!!!
jk.
At least we have someone. We had a top 10 defense by committee last year. Can't wait to see what we accomplish. There is just so much talent that I doubt that even he can mess it up.

The Jets have the best nickel package in the league, but that would change if Revis, Cromartie, or Wilson were traded.
