1. So he spent years trying to beat the 9ers, now he’s going to spend time trying to beat the Rams. Odd dynamic but a paychecks a paycheck.

2. This one stings a bit, he’ll have their defence ready to play against us for sure, going to make the matchups that much tougher.

3. Thought he gameplanned well against us, I was hoping we dodged a bullet with Saleh bolting, now it’s gonna be a grind again. This division is dumb.

4. Dislike this ughh

6. Idk why people would be upset at this. Sure, he knows McVay and the Rams’ tendencies but Shanahan already does too anyway. Basically none of us liked Morris as our DC because of his soft/ultra conservative scheme.

   IMO this is a win for us. Morris is a big downgrade from Saleh.

7. Mike to Cardinals & Morris to 49ers.

   Yeaahh this season was our best chance. We have absolutely no choice but to go all-in to take a shot at SB next year.

8. This division is gonna be insane next year

9. i do not care what people on here or out there say raheem is a good coordinator

10. No longer wishing you well, Raheem. Not while youre wearing those colors.

11. This dude ran pedestrian defense with prime AD and prime Ramsey im not concerned

12. Shit is gonna be tough!

13. We are surrounded by traitors. 😂😂😂

14. this is GREAT FUCKING news lol

    if you’re concerned that he knows our offense, the same goes the other way, we know his defense.

15. They want to be us so bad!

16. I love this hire honestly. He is overrated. Plays soft coverage. Is a downgrade from Ryan’s and Saleh. Love this!!!

17. Traitor

18. How many former Rams that know everything about how they run all their schemes do we need in our division?
