"Because of the recent hiring of Jeff Fisher as head coach, and the lack of a new general manager, the Rams have a scaled-down contingent at the Senior Bowl. Fisher decided to stay away from Mobile, figuring he could get more done assembling his staff by working in St. Louis or Nashville.

With one exception his coaching staff hires — both official and unofficial — have stayed away as well, with at least some of them helping Fisher put together the rest of the staff. The only Rams coach known to be at the Senior Bowl is new defensive line coach Mike Waufel.

So that has put the onus on the Rams' personnel department to handle most of the on-site evaluations. And almost all of the Rams' scouting staff is on hand. Executive vice president of football operations Kevin Demoff came down Wednesday, just for a day of catching up with agents and scouts — and perhaps potential general manager candidates."
