4th. Martz was an unproven guy with a new system. Al's O didn't do to well in DC, but has a great rep for his days in KC.
5th. I could go on, but why? Right now Linehan pretty much has banked on health being both his saviour this year and his bane the last 2. We really made no bold moves in the FA market. And for a team that won only 3 games, it seems a bit risky.
Not to mention........I will puke the 1st time I see Ike Bruce in a ***** jersey.

The DC comment is not a fair evaluation. THat offense was awfull and did improve under Saunders. Saunders had 1 year and an unexperience QB in Campbell. When Campbell was sidelined for Collins the Offense exploded.
Superior Talent in 08..... Really, was it the talent or the system? I seem to remember a couple of guys who exploded that year and never return to form.......Carter, Az , and I am sure we can find more if needed.
I believe this years team is way underated. The Rams have probowl potential at just about every unit position on the field ie.... LB, QB, RB, DL...
This team has talent and can compete for the division. The Rams have made an effort to improve the OL and DL. The have talent at WR, RB, and QB. This team if healthy and consistent play on the offensive line will put up points on the board. The biggest question mark will be can the secondary and linbacking play well enough to stop the opposition?
Go Rams
