    The first thought was Sam. But then it turned to a QB.

    Now what? Hayes starts? Does Westbrook get some snaps?

    H, I want you to give this all the thought it deserves.

    But…have you considered the possibility that your avatar has jinxed the team?

    As I said–give that idea as much thought as it deserves.

    Chris Long is one of my favorite personalities on the Rams. This is such a bummer.

    Well Bradford was the Offensive leader
    and Chris Long was the Defensive Leader.

    Who’s the Special Teams leader?
    He would be next, i would think
    if i am reading these entrails
    correctly.

    BTW, Fisher answered that. Kind of.

    Ominously, he doesn’t mention Hayes.

    (On if DE William Hayes has to step up and if there is a chance DL Ethan Westbrooks will get an opportunity)
    “There’s a chance Westbrooks will be up now, Will steps up. Obviously, ‘Gene’ (DE Eugene Sims) can play both sides. We’ll be fine there until he gets back.”

    No one though to ask who “he” was–“We’ll be fine there until he gets back.” Long? Hayes? Did he just forget to mention Hayes or assume he was a given? Or did he deliberately NOT mention him because it’s now just Sims and Westbrooks?

    I want to clear something up. It’s out there on the net in spots; in here, it’s just a topic of converation. BUT. I see things like this about Long:

    * No team is paying him what he makes here

    * Hayes made like $800k last year but only had 12 less tackles than a $9 mil a year player

    It doesn’t matter who said it or where it comes from. I;m addressing an issue, not calling anybody out. But anyway….there’s misconception there.

    FIRST, Long got pretty much the average amount for a DE in his 2nd contract. Around 9+ M. The really expensive guys get more. Also, Long’s deal is front-loaded. They save money in the next 2 years if he leaves.

    Now I don’t know if Long holds up or if he continues to play well, etc. But he just more or less got what a 2nd contract starting DE gets.
