I believe that his hustle and willingness to drive the ball during kickoff return has been unnoticed. I believe he was one of the underated players of the Rams last season. It may seem im just ranting but I know if I didnt say something, and the Rams would sign T.O. (which they obviously wont now) and word was Amendola was to get cut, I would feel like I didnt do anything to back him up. I know posting this wont help his chances at all, but I can sleep better at night knowing that I tried.
I agree with you, Amendola was one of my favorite players last year. If we cut him, I would be pretty upset.
Nice player, but in reality he is now useless. He was a good returnman, but a very mediocre wide receiver. Mardy Gilyard takes his place on returns, I don't think he's good enough to make the squad. I'd bet he'll end up on the practice squad.
That's a little bit comforting considering he was on the squad last year. Moving in the right direction. IMO.Quote:

and hey i don't care if Gilyard is a 3rd rounder or a FA rookie pickup. if he doesn't produce, danny should play. training camp and preseason will decide... not draft hierarchy
I was quite impressed with Amendola's performance last season, I want the kid to stay in, hope Spags can at least switch around Gilyard and Amendola in the return slot. Aside from our offense being terrible and our defense prone to fatigue, the special teams proved quite the consistency.
Best players play. if Danny stays its because he was good enough, if he does not it was because he was not
I really doubt they can overlook the fact he set the franchise record last year for return yards. They watch the same games we do (times a million of course) so I am sure they saw his awesomeness just as much as we did.
Yep this pretty much sums it up, Gilyard is an upgrade over Danny in a very key area "speed", Danny lacks the break away speed to take it to the house everytime he touches the ball, but we should keep him on the practice squard just in case one of our WR's goes down during the season; the guys heart & toughness is something I wish we could spread around to the entire team.Quote:

Very consistent and gets positive yards. Maybe does not have the big play speed but the positive is he takes care of the rock and moves the sticks. Most teams would love to have a return guy like him. If the Rams cut him he will not be on the practice squad he will be returning the kicks in another city.Quote:

Danny has earned the respect from me and I am a big fan of the guy.
Go Rams

3rd and 3, he does a post and if he catches this hes got another 50 yards ahead of him and all defenders in his dust, and BAM dropped pass.
Then I believe we went for the fourth down and Bulger threw one low to Brandon Gibson but it was a nice catch to move the chains.
Rev Ike didn't exactly possess lightning speed... I know his record speaks for itself, but were are all prone to errors in our early days. Give the kid a break.
If he busts his guts wide open in camp, then I'm all for him.... That to me shows a desire to win, and be a part of a winning team in the long run.
Go Rams!
Are you serious? It's like you said that I said he's a GOD???? If that is what you got out of my post no point in responding.Quote:
