Dick Stockton on the Rams penalty issues: “it’s the not the number of penalties, but the timing.” Stockton joined Kevin Wheeler to help preview the game Sunday vs. the Vikings, two teams that mirror each other, the lack of an elite QB put emphasis on mistakes, Shaun Hill as a backup, AP and how the Rams can take him out of it, and penalties that plagued the Rams.

Dick Stockton is doing the Viking game.

Ugh.

Stockton should have retired about
three years ago.

Greg Cosell joins Frank Cusumano to talk NFL and Rams. Cosell says that the fact that Robinson isn’t starting in Week 1 is irrelevant. He compares Shaun Hill and Clemons and says Hill will push the ball down the field much more than Clemons did. He talks about Ogletree and Tavon Austin, comparing Austin to Harvin in how they should use him. Harvin is stronger than Austin though. Cosell likes Gregg Williams as a D-Coordinator. He talks about the match up with the Vikings and the Rams prospects for the season. Good Stuff from Cosell

he went into a ton of details…he was familiar with them [the Rams}

me: this is Cosell on Robinson. It’s my transcript–he talks about Robinson at about 2:50 in:

First of all he was not going to play left tackle as a rookie…that was not going to happen. So now the question is does he play guard. And I watched him quite a bit [ie. in the preseason] and he played left tackle and left guard … he has significant issues right now in pass protection because he wasn’t asked to do that in college in an NFL type pass game. So he has a learning curve. Now there’s many who believe just on the basis of his sheer physical tools that he has a chance to be an all-timer. But just because he’s not starting week 1 in his rookie season, that’s ultimately irrelevant. [Now comparing him to Matthews]. Greg Robinson is 6’6″ 335 with superior athletic skill for a man that size. There are very few people with that kind of size and movement. But he was incredibly raw and unrefined other then as a mauling run blocker….Matthews is a more advanced player but the feeling was that the upside for a guy like Robinson was much greater. The feeling was that Matthews would be a nice player, he would probably be ready to play week 1, but down the road, Matthews would plateau whereas Robinson would have a chance to be potentially in the conversation of the top tackles to ever play.
