Wet Blanket -Defense

As time as gone on and it looks like Pisa will be back at LB, I am less excited about the Coakley signing. I like Claiborne in the middle, but if Pisa is a LB, then the Rams are small again. It would have preferred someone like Fujita from KC even if it cost a draft choice. If the Rams don't make a splash signing at least one good starting safety and a good backup, I don't see how this defense is markedly improved from last year... I know I know Coakley can tackle, but he can also get pushed around on the strong side...

Coakley's small, but he doesn't play small. From what I understand he's good at getting off blockers, as is Pisa. I'd rather have Pisa at LB than SS, and Arch at FS.

I was fired up earier, but now I'm calm. Hey zig, you think you're gonna fill them empty squares anytime soon? :redface:

Dunno, do you have some hot tips for me?

Well, the DB looks to be that Michael Stone from the Cardinals. :\

I think I'll just wait until after June 1st to fill that one in. :redface:
