So this must be the silliest talk of all , C'MON NOW , this is just totally nut that the RAMS will be held back by their WR's , what a bunch of bullbunk !
#1 , OC. - AL SAUNDERS - RIGHT NOW , this conversation should be over and you know it .
#2 ,
TORRY HOLT - he is a pro , his knee's might hurt and he might be a little pissed at his coach , and that his mentor was shunned because of money or office politics or whatever , but he is still one of the best in the game .
#3 , PROGRESS - hurts sometimes because you always leave behind something, ( I. BRUCE ) but you can never get better without change.
#4 , HEART & Experiance - HEART cannot be measured or gaged , Experiance at all levels prepair you for the next level . look at the ROOKIES , years of experiance at college level , progresses made or not , and numbers , and our rookies have it .
but just look at the picture , veteran and leader - HOLT . experianced veteran starters - BENNETT - CALDWELL . vet-special teamers - HALL - LOOKER - WILLIAMS . 2nd-3rd year players on the cusp of making the team or making bus plans - HAGANS - STANLEY . and the new ROOKIES- BURTON - AVERY . the RAMS are covering all bases , and i feel that this bunch could be one of if not the best the RAMS have had . the diamonds in the rough players ( UFA rookies / and last years rookie camp bodies ) will have a chance and thats it .
So now i will give you my pick6 , and will leave one spot on the developemental squad for a WR , which the RAMS would usually have 2 spots .
#1- HOLT- unless he's mad and retires , still HOF material .
#2- BENNETT- they see something , i see a #3 , he better turn into #2, but the money was the crutch we have to walk with . ( never liked the move for the money ,myself.)
#3- BURTON- this guy was a targeted player by me for the RAMS at draft time. he has it all and will show why he will be an NFL star in a few years.
#4- AVERY - a new , young speed demon, KENNISON-HAKIM-HORNE , the RAMS just improved their long game , see ya on the green ( red zone ) .
#5-STANLEY - new , young speedster, could be the go to guy this year with another year and a new OC , that will open this kids eye's and show him the way . i think he has what it takes to send HALL back to the dorm.
#6-CALDWELL-this might be a marriage of convienience, a veteran that knows the system will push a vet who doesn't .
DEV.SQUAD - CADELL -i could only come up with one other scenario , and that is HAGENS , but this would be another year , and the RAMS might be loosing interest on this project.
It was a very hard decision to let LOOKER - HALL - and HAGENS go , i think WILLIAMS spot can be held by many others and will not factor in , HALL is getting older ( again, and injury might slow him again, but there is the SAUNDERS factor . LOOKER, even though he is steady and dependable , i don't feel the RAMS see him as a RICKY PROEL .
so thats my take on this absurd talk of the RAMS WR's .
P.S. , has anyone looked and compaired our pre-camp roster to the rest of the NFL , or are the PROFESSIONALS just blowing more wind on our horn.... FOCKER OOOOUUT !!!
