Isaiah Pead...

...Is simply not ready to be an NFL player at this point in time. His performance for a 2nd round pick- especially in light of Richardson's outstanding efforts as a 7th rounder this season- is embarrassing. Today, when given an opportunity to contribute, he continued to come up small. The fumble on the kickoff can't happen at that stage in the ballgame, and turned the game around and put our defense right back on the field. And only dumb luck prevented a successful review of a play where he clearly fumbled in OT. Did he return any other kickoffs to the 20 yard line today?? He's like a deer in the headlights out there, and isn't up to the challenge of being a viable option for this football team. I hope things change.

Isaiah pooped not peed

I still feel we should have drafted someone else.

The play in OT was not a fumble. In fact, it wasn't even close.

Ughhhhh shall we not say his name....

wheres that guy who had the thread saying Isiah Pead was the future of the Rams and we should trade Steven Jackson?

I respectfully disagree. Even the announcers said it was, and the fact that STL rushed themselves to the line of scrimmage to run the next play before it could be looked at means more than a few Rams thought it was a fumble also.

He was on his back and the defender ripped the ball out. The Fox broadcasters on my TV didn't think it was a fumble.

Announcers stated that Ahmad Brooks ripped the ball out clearly after his whole body hit the ground. The players were rushing back to the LOS because the clock was running.


Still, that does not take away the fact that Isiah Pead freakin' sucks.

He's a rookie, Give him time.

The second one was not a fumble he was clearly on his back.

Wrong! He mistakenly said it and corrected himself by saying that the runner was on his back when the ball was stripped out of his arms.

Totally agree. Is it one of those bad blunder calls that truly cost us the game?

Regardless of whether Peas could have / should have protected the ball better, hopefully it WILL be clarified as a mistaken call. If so, then that did in effect cost us the game!
