2006 Saint Louis Rams (Fantastic Voyage - Come Along And Ride!)

***dgr828*** · -05-07-2006

The Draft Has Passed, Mini-camps Are Starting And A New Season Is About To Begin, In The National Football League. It's Time To Board The Rams Cruise Ship Destined To The Promiseland Of Past Glories Of The "Greatest Show On Turf". Please Don't Miss The Boat, Show! What A Long Strange Trip This Should Be!

New Coach Scott Linehan Is The Captain Of This Vessel, And We In Rams Nation, Are Under His Command. Linehan, Spending Last Season As The Dolphins Offensive Coordinator, Should Be Able To Navigate A Direct Route To Miami At The End Of The Season. (Miami Is The Site Of Super Bowl XLI)

The Pre-Season Starts in Exactly Two Months, Beginning With A Visit From Peyton Manning And The Indianapolis Colts, With The Saint Louis Rams Playing Host (August 8 - Thursday), At The Legendary EDWARDJONES Dome.

In The Next Week, The Rams Will Also Play Host (August 19 - Saturday) Against Reggie Bush (OOPS!...Mario Williams) And Houston Texans.

Kansas City Is The Site Of This Years Annual 'GOVERNORS CUP' Of The Great State MISSOURI. The Chiefs, Lead By Former Rams Quarterback Trent Green And New Coach Herm Edwards(Replaces The Great Dick Vermeil), Host The Rams At Arrowhead Stadium (August 26 - Saturday).

The Final Pre-season Game For The Rams Will Be Played In Miami (August 31 - Thursday). The Dolphins Will Not Have Ricky Williams or Gus Frerotte, But Maybe They'll Have Marcus Vick (Stay Tuned).

Pray The Rams End The Regular Season, In The Same City As The Pre-season!

"THE SAINT LOUIS RAMS ~ BACK IN THE MIX FOR 2006"

***UtterBlitz*** · -05-07-2006

So Dane Looker is now a punt returner instead of a WR ...Booo :down:

We have a lot of CBs and not so many safeties. It should be interesting to see how those positions settle in as the starters are determined.

There is a Christmas Eve game. Those can be nice to avoid the last minute shopping craze.
