As might be expected, Jacksonville wide receiver Torry Holt still follows his old team. And yes, he’s as suprised as anyone that the Rams are winless five games into the 2009 season.

“With some of the reports I was reading, and speaking to a couple of the (Rams) throughout the course of OTAs and training camp _ the energy, the vibe, the positive message that (Steve) Spagnuolo has brought to the team, I know they thought they wouldn’t be 0-5,” Holt said Wednesday on a conference call with St. Louis reporters.

“Just listening to those guys and reading some of the reports, I didn’t expect them to be 0-5. But they’ve got an opportunity to get out of it, come down here playing against us. I’m pretty sure they’re looking to come here to get a win. Hopefully, we can hold them off and keep them winless.”

Holt signed with Jacksonville as a free agent last April, five weeks after his release in St. Louis. The Rams (0-5) play at Jacksonville (2-3) Sunday in a noon kickoff (St. Louis time).

As was for the Rams’ current receiver corps, Holt said: “Some of the guys you all have there now, I don’t even know where they came from. . . .I don’t even recognize half of those guys.”

...and it starts. He's certainly not very PC about this at all.

How silly...

No Torry, the RAMS are not travelling down to Jacksonville to get a win. They're coming down to say hi to you!

*sigh* Still pains me to see him there. My all time favorite ram in teal, its embarassing.

I figured a while ago that Holt would eventually move on, but it does certainly sting to have to play him. At least he didn't move within the division. I also always figured that he'd move on to a better team than Jacksonville as well. Oh well, they gave him the money.

I find myself saying the same thing. Avery, Burton, Amendola..........,Avery, Burton, Amendola......... Other than those guys, I'm at a loss without looking it up.

Ah. Torry such a class act. I certainly miss seeing 81 out there.

Hope it's a good injury free game. Hope Holt and the boys have a good time playing against each other.
