Of course, those defenses ranked no better than 20th in rushing defense on the season.

How do you know he hasn't been focusing on improving the line? It's pretty hard to make any personnel improvements until free agency starts. And who knows if there have been any talks with Faulk about his contract. You're making an awful lot of assumptions about what's going on behind closed doors.

If it turns out that Faulk hasn't spoken with the Rams about his contract yet or that Martz hasn't even begun looking at the O-line, then I agree with you. But you're making these assumptions without knowing what's going on at Rams Park. Seems a bit unfair to me.

I agree - if Marshall found out like the rest of us, then it was definitely a poor move by the Rams to air it like this. Until we know more though, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But if this is how Marshall found out he lost his starting job, then that's a pretty dick move.
