Camp is were it all begins. At this point is where the Rams must make the commitment and set goals. Everyone on this team must pull his weight, we all need to come together as One with a sense of pride and purpose. Last years camp should be considered a failure as the Rams slept walked through the (0-4) pre-season that carried over to the dismal (3-13) regular season. The Rams are once again the laughing stock of the league, simply because they either failed to prepare or they just didn't give a $#!t*....
'Fail to plan~Plan to fail' rang so true for the Rams last year. Linehan should take most of the blame for not having this team ready. Under his tenure this team has under achieve by going through the motions. I'm afraid this will be coach Linehans' last training camp with the Rams.
The major players who need to establish a postive tone in camp going into the 2008 season:
The offensive front line
Orlando Pace - Does he have purpose and passion to stay healthy and recapture pass glories?
Alex Barron - So must potential, will he be dedicated to work on his short comings while in camp?
Ricthie Incognito - Control that tiger inside, stay healthy, get it going in camp!
QB
Trent Green on the Rams bench is a good thing. The last time the Rams won the Superbowl, it was Green on the Rams bench and in Kurt Warner's ear behind the scenes.
Trent still believes he has something to prove and will push
Marc Bulger to put a little more pep to his step!
RB
Steven Jackson didn't play in the preseason and it seem to backfire for the Rams. All that's remembered about Jackson last year is that he fumbled twice on openning day and was pretty much sidelined with injuries the rest of the year.
Please Steven, no preseason predictions! Take advantage of camp and show us that this is your time to shine.
Receivers
Torry Holt - Stay Healthy and keep doing what you do!
Drew Bennett - Last year was not pretty, maybe you were settling in. In this years camp you can start by proving your worth and that last year was a fluke.
Randy McMichael - There is alot of hype about Randy for this coming season, hope he can live up to it. Have a good camp!
DEFENSE
Hasslett -
'GIT 'ER DUN!'
OVERALL
What the Rams need is a mean strike about them, they should be pissed about the Ass kickin they were handed last year. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few scuffles in camp this year.
I'm all ready for the '08 camp countdown, Hope we learned our lesson from the '07 camp and that is "Don't take camp lightly, shine the light brightly, morning noon and nightly, take flight to the highest heighties, by spreading your wings ever so rightly!
GO RAMS!
