I still say we get Ricky Proehl

[C-Mob 71]

He has testicular cancer.

But I thought he had recovered from that?
Pretty sure his agent said he was available if a team had an emergency need.
Well here we are!

That jinx is worse than I thought.

Mark Clayton out for year, but Rams don't want Devin Thomas
October 10, 2010 10:12 PM ET, by Gregg Rosenthal

The Rams have lost their top receiver for the season. Again.

Mark Clayton told reporters after Sunday's loss to the Lions that he will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. It's uncertain what his injury is. Clayton was only acquired from Baltimore to replace Donnie Avery, who tore his ACL at the end of the preseason.

St. Louis could use a wideout, which immediately led to speculation the team could be interested in recent Redskins cut Devin Thomas. Rams G.M. Billy Devaney, however, says that's not going to happen, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Laurent Robinson, Danny Amendola, and Brandon Gibson are Sam Bradford's top three wideouts now. Amendola had 12 grabs against the Lions for 95 yards.

If there is someone sitting on the FA market at this point in the season, there is a reason for it. Mark Clayton was a stroke of luck (temporarily), we will not get anything else for free.

There are trades to be made, as we have seen, but only if the front office is willing to give up something. Thus far, they seem content to wait until next year.

[PeoriaRam]

Well, Billy, I hope we have plans to get a wideout through a trade, because progress and next year aside, I'd like to see a competitive product on the field, and it appears that the Rams are incapable of providing that competitive product with the current stable of healthy wideouts.

Of course, we always have next year. You may not.

Speaking of former Rams receivers...... isn't Torry Holt available?

[live4ramin]

Well, when one door closes another one opens

Give a big welcome to Danario Alexander.

Softli was on sports plus and he watches him at practice and says he needs a full year before playing. He said he still has atrophy and it would risk the kids future to play him this year.

[molar_pistol]

people need to understand that alexander has done absolutely nothing to show he can be productive at this level despite his college career. his leg is bad and he's probably not ready anyways. he is not the answer this year.

Torry holt got surgery on his knee and is out for the season..

Isaac can always come back from retirement!!

Our receivers have an injury jinx already and you want to play a guy who has had 4 knee injuries in college?!

Knowing our luck, his knee will explode when he runs out onto the field the first time.

lmao i know right... "Alexander runs a comeback route" "OH NO HIs Knee has spontaneously exploded! his career is over!!!" "John lynch- sorry rams fans lol" ...at this point you just sign a plaer of a practice squad and put them behind the guys we have here. Personaly im dissapointed with Gilyard and Gibson. I still think the rams should stil go to them so they can get acusstomed to the speed and feel for the game. Gilyard needs to ge this head out of his ass and grow a pair and gibson may have to sneak super glue on the field from time to time...
