First off, isn't anyone else amused by the irony of an NFL team being involved in a situation with sophomoric sexual behavior towards a woman reporter that's owned by a guy named Woody Johnson ???
I mean the gang on "South Park" or "Family Guy" would have a f ield day with that one eh?? And I can't imagine what saying the name would do to Beavis and Butthead.
Yea, the Rams are 0-2, but remember, rookie QB, super young tackles on the O-line, no #1 WR (Though Clayton is pretty darn close to being one), lack of depth at CB, DE etc ??
People, let's enjoy the process here, can't anyone see the improvement, the promise of Bradford. People holloring for more long passes and maybe getting Sam hurt as a result need to chill.
Minny is 0-2 facing a really tough schedule now, and THEY should be the f ans worrying. Dallas too, and the Niners.
If the Rams win 6-7 games they are where we want them, and it doesn't matter what games they win.
If the Rams return all their possible turnovers for scores like KC, THEY are 2-0, too. Or even maybe if they make all the chip shot field goals.
As this defense starts to EXPECT turnovers, they maybe will start blcoking instead of watching after they get them, like the best defenses do. Lovie Smith's teams here practiced a LOT taking it to the house, and the Rams need to do the same now. James Hall missed both blocks on Steve Breaston in the Arizona game on the t urnovers he saved with tackle and strip.
These are offensive guys trying to play defense after a turnover, which almost all cannot, so the stronger defenders hve to level the field of tackles when they get the ball, and SCORE.
Love what I see of Rodger Saffold thus far, but Jason Smith needs to come on stronger on the right.
Who would believe that the depth at TE could deplete in two games !!!
Good to see Murphy make a play i his first game, ... need that guy to step up badly as the nickel, as Butler can't do it well enough.
Love what I am seeing from Craig Dahl, best hittings afety here since Toby Wright, who I always called "The Man". Who can forget him knocking out Tiki Barber in 1997 or 1998. with a hit audible into the upper deck.
If Chris Long gets any lower in his stance, he'll be under the carpet at the dome. That could be a real weapon for him, and he appears to be really coming on, despit lack of gaudy sack numbers, mostly because of lack of nickel and dime backs that allow the QB to find a second or third option.
DO like what Fletcher and Bartell are doing, BUT, they both need to CATCH the ball when it comes at them. Of course they haven't faced Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning or a receiver like Andre Johnson yet either.
If the G-Men want to lose Brandon Jacobs, I hope the Rams go after him, a midwest guy who went to SIU Carbondale. Yes, I know he isn't the scatback alternative the fans see as Jax' backup, but, in my mind, you use Jacobs up the guy and goal line to SAVE Jackson, and make HIM the outside threat, using him in the flat and off tackle to around end, where he does best anyway.
Jacobs can turn a one yard run into a big gain at times up the middle as he is as big as the linemen..
Time for Brandon Gibson and Mardy Gilyard to get more PT over Laurent Robinson, who is too soft off theline and drops too many balls.
Let's see what Fendi Onabun can do now as well, what can it hurt.
Get well soon Clifton Ryan, who is suffering migraines. Hope it's not from that unfortunate play against Arizona. Again a good guy with a future, the last guy pretty much left from the Linehan era.
Like to see the Rams go early fro a guard next draft, round three at latest,to complete the rebuild of what could be a real strength in 2011 and beyond.
First and second round have to be WR and explosive DE or DE/LB.
When you look at those bad lones in Dallas and Philly, you see how they might struggle in the near future while the Rams get better and better.
Jake Locker...... yea....right. Both Andrew Luck at Stanford (Seattle or SF next QB?) or Ryan Mallett at Arkansas (again Seattle or Niner possibilities) are betterr. None are close to Bradford.
Like what I am seeing from Larry Grant, but Diggs just too limited.
Terrible officiating again last week, but what else is new.
All for now.
