" #Rams signed former #Jets OL Robert Turner earlier today, 2 sources confirmed. He visited the Rams recently. "

I wouldn't think its too much other than depth.

A little background on him :

6'4, 308 lbs, 27 years old. He's played in 41 games, only started 2. He looks to be the backup to Dahl/our LG. He broke his ankle in the preseason this past year.

Ha, I remember watching this guy for many, many Saturdays here in Albuquerque. My high school lineman coach was Turner's teammate for a couple years at UNM, and I remember him telling me that Turner was the strongest man he'd ever met. I know its just a depth signing, but I'll be rooting for Turner to make it in The Lou.

... The Lou.

For our friends in Britain and Ireland, he meant St Louis, not the toilet.

I know, I know, loo. Just couldn't pass it up.

Ahaa, the final piece is in place. Next stop Super Bowl.

Seriously, probably a good depth signing. I'm sensing Jeff and Les want players who are durable and not prone to getting injured. I don't know the background on Turner's health history, but let's hope he'll contribute on the field. I assume he's young so there will be some upside growth potential here.

Go Rams!
