How Many Current Rams Should Be In Next Year's Starting Lineup?

[AvengerRam]

How many current Ram players do you think should absolutely be in next year's starting lineup (or, put another way, which players/posltions are not priorities to upgrade for next year).

My number is 15 out of 26 (including K, P, KR, PR). Here's my list:

Marc Bulger - QB
Steven Jackson - RB
Torry Holt - WR
Isaac Bruce - WR
Joe Klopfenstein - TE
Orlando Pace - OT
Alex Barron - OT
Richie Incognito - OL (OG or C)
Leonard Little - DE
Will Witherspoon - LB (MLB or OLB)
Pisa Tinoisamoa - OLB
Tye Hill - CB
Fakhir Brown - CB
Jeff Wilkins - K
Matt Turk - P

There are other current players who may end up in next year's starting lineup (Timmerman, Adeyanju, Wroten, Glover, Chavous, Atogwe), but certainly their positions are up for grabs if an upgrade can be obtained in FA or the draft.

AV good list... I would add Mark Setterom at LG for next year as starting!!

I think that is very likely, though I'd like to see a few more games out of him before I put him on the list.

I was going to mention SET as well....need to see a few more games first.

I'd like to add Kevin Curtis to the list as #3 WR. He's does well when called upon so why lose him unless we have to to save $ for defensive aquisitions.

i think Curtis is going to be tough for us to bring back,he wants more playing time and i am sure some team will throw stupid money at him,possible reunion with Martz in Detroit,although i think Martz gets the Arizona Cardinals job next season when Denny Green is fired.

fftopic: I had not thought of that, but you may be onto something there...


:r I would like to see what Ron Bartell could do at either safety or CB....

[chiguy]

Why on earth would Martz bring Curtis to the Cardinals if he got that gig? Even he isn't so stupid as to realize that they need an offensive line.

Besides that, they've already got three good receivers.

[tomahawk247]

Curtis wouldnt go to Arizona, just because thats the worst place for a WR to go for playing time

what i meant to say was if martz stays where he is, curtis may be a good fit there, but your right theres no reason for curtis to go to arizona,thats the point i was trying to make.

I like the list and agree that Setterstrom could be a starter next year along with Terrell.

Guys Who are gone or on the bench.

Faulk
Timmermen
McCollum
Glover
Chillar
Otogwe

[denverram]

I would like to see Isaac as the third WR next year with Curtis as the 2 WR. I think this guy has hug upside and he deserves more PT.

I wouldnt expect Atogwe to lose his starting job. Although he has taken some bad angles he has made a few nice plays. He just needs more time to grow and mature.

[chipperjones]

I want Bartell.He dosen't have to start but needs playing time.

[sprtsmac]

AV's got a good list and those players are the only ones that I can think of saying that we are set at. Other than that, every position should be up for grabs.
