Report: DT Cofield agrees to terms with Redskins

[TheBritishRam]

Let's not panic here. One DT spot is set with Robbins. If the Rams can't upgrade the other, some combination of Gary Gibson, Darrell Scott and Jermelle Cudjo will man the fort on first and second down. On third, you'll likely see James Hall (who is a big DE at 280 lbs) slide inside with Robert Quinn rushing from the end. Could be worse.

I wouldn't mind bringing in Mike Patterson or offering an incentative-laden contract to Tommie Harris, but if they could only get one good FA on defense then I'd rather they spent it on an OLB.

For what it's worth, Jim Thomas had this to say about an hour ago...

League sources say rams surprisingly lukewarm on former giant dt cofield who agrees to terms w/redskins.

Sometimes, what looks like a great fit to the fans isn't necessarily seen as such inside the war room, I guess.

Lukewarm or not, I still think the DT position should be addressed.

WOw a lil surprised with that but hey Spags knows him better than most and he knows what the heck he's doing. He'll develop/pick up someone that best fits what he expects out of them and for our scheme. on to our next Fa pontential.

I don't think the rams would say oh darn that was another one that could have helped us. Just insert the we were lukewarm response after each of the following names, Spikes, Bush,Rice,.......I think sometimes you might have to over spend to get past average.
