Re: Rams Rely on Wilkins Lose 17-16

Hey, LD
It was not the fact that we could have won. But the simple fact that Coach Linehan's playcalling for the established stars was unacceptable. You have Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce and Steven Jackson at your disposal and they are not given the opportunity to convert on a 4th and 4 in a game winning situation.
That is a slap on the face to their caliber of play. And to ask Marc Bulger to lose a down and then ask Jeff Wilkins to kick a 56 yard field goal. It was hard to view and accept.
I do not give up on the team. But i am questioning the Coach's motives and reasons for not utilizing his NFL Stars.
These guys have played in bigger games with bigger stakes. And to not give them the chance to make a play is just underminding their skills and tenure.
Being fickle is not the issue. It's just not proper and fair.
And for the coach to come out and say that they have to get over it just like his kids do when they cuss him out is wrong.
I had lots of hopes for this Coaching staff.
But it seems to me Jim Haslett just might take over real soon. At least he would know how to utilize the veteran weapons.
That's the issue.
