w/r to the linebacking corp...
The Rams still lack a certian "meanness" in the middle. I am not sure Claiborne is the answer. You would think that I might remember this guy given all the Turkey Day games as I have watched, but he has never stood out as a nasty player.
By "nasty", I mean that in a good way, somewhere between Hacksaw Reynolds and Conrad Dobler...I do not mean psycho-mean as in Romanowski....
I want receivers to be fearfull of dragging across the field looking for a dump off. I want runnning backs to hesitate as they pick a hole. I want a real middle linebacker.... I hope we have at least something like that!:clanram:

you took the words right out of my thoughts...maybe the rams need to draft a FS and a LB in the first two rounds next off-season...there should be some good players coming into the draft...
