    Coach Jeff Fisher admitted the Rams need to get Austin the ball in space more — just don’t expect to see that during the preseason.

    “We just have to give him the ball,” Fisher said. “Give him the ball in space, because we all know what he can do with it. And so we’re doing some different things. Probably won’t show a whole lot in the preseason, but I’ve (sic) very pleased with where he’s at right now.”

    i’m hoping this is what it is. just save the secret weapon for the regular season.

    he’s the most explosive player on the rams offense. you have to use him. in the passing game. in the running game. let’s go tavon!

    i think that’s a great point. i’m even willing to bet that’s what they’re thinking.

    robinson, long, and saffold is a great start to an offensive line.

    i don’t know. barrett jones seems like the type of guy fans should be least angry at. hard worker. intangibles through the roof. smart. these injuries are disappointing, but i would hardly say i’m angry at him. i’d keep him and see what happens. i think he’s worth the risk.

    yeah. long and wells need to stay healthy. but what’s most encouraging is robinson’s development at left tackle. i think he could be a starter as soon as this year if they needed him to be. but hopefully not. i think by next year he could already be a better left tackle than long. straight up. it’s only been one preseason game, but his athleticism and power already stand out.

    i’m excited to see this offensive line. i think it will have a bigger impact than any other offensive group. the running game. and then off that the play action. pass protection. i’m excited to see how quickly this group can get it together. that should be the identity of this offense. the line.

    for me personally. i don’t feel like a complete eval could really be done. sam didn’t play. the rams 2 defensive tackles didn’t start. laurinaitis was out. too many missing pieces to even form any sort of opinion. on offense i want to see bradford. i want to see how confident he is in that knee. on defense, i need to see the starting front seven before i have any idea what kind of defense the rams have.

    and we may not even get all that until the regular season starts.

    i’m of the opinion that tavon should be a major contributor outside of just special teams. whether the team passes it a lot or not, you don’t spend that kind of draft value on a special teams guy. i really hope he’s not the next desmond howard. my only hope is holt is not much of an evaluator. great players don’t always make great evaluators. we’ll see.

    i agree. i read nothing but positive things about this guy. and he had an impressive catch against new orleans. don’t think they should let this guy go.

    greg robinson, alec ogletree, and sam bradford.

    i want to see greg robinson clean things up a little bit in pass protection. that one mental error last game. don’t want to see that again.

    i am extremely encouraged by what laurinaitis had to say about alec. i hope it isn’t just talk. sounds like he’s becoming a real professional.

    i want to see sam shake that rust off.

    i’m expecting that bradford mostly hands the ball off. maybe two series at the most.

    well that’s disturbing. cuz i don’t think britt or quick are the answer. not as starting wrs. that leaves bailey who i like. but he’s suspended for the first four games. cook? kendricks? right now i see a bunch of complimentary receivers, but no number one type wr. is that going to work? i think it will for now with the running game looking as strong as it does. but i think ultimately bailey or austin have to step up. or both. i don’t see anyone else on the roster who is capable.

    i was surprised at how comfortable he looked at offensive tackle. that’s comforting to me. i think he’ll be fine at guard for now, but ultimately, he needs to be the rams’ franchise left tackle. he looked the part.

    good omens. offensive line. bailey. austin. running backs.

    bad omens. run defense. tackling. secondary.

    i thought robinson did a good job wiping out that entire left side. cunningham just had to beat that linebacker and then it was tons of open field.

    it does come off to me as coming to the right situation at the right time.

    walton had pretty much the same defense, but williams comes at a time when ogletree and brockers should have breakout years. and then to top that off, they add one of the more pro-ready defensive tackles in recent memory basically as a gift. not to mention joyner.

    if the defense blows up, this will inflate his ego even more.

    if the defense flops, i think his reputation takes a huge hit.

    my projections for him this season are:

    300-500 3500 yards 27 tds 10 ints 90.9 qb rating.

    90.9 was what he had last year which ranked 11th among qbs last year.

    they’re all sons of bitches. but williams probably is moreso than the average nfl coach.

    he IS from the buddy ryan coaching tree after all… that goes for fisher too.

    if stacy can stay healthy. if he could just stay healthy. this guy is gonna be something else. just great running instincts. harder to bring down than jackson. and then everything else should fall into place. bradford. the wrs. he’s just gotta stay healthy.

    i remember ogletree having problems shedding blocks. what are camp observers’ impressions on how much ogletree has improved in this regard?

    also. i’ve read that ogletree has spent some time working with the dline on pass rush moves. have any of the camp observers’ taken note of this?

    oh dear. greg is looking to hurt someone on friday…

    something tells me he’s a completely different player when full contact is involved.

    really liked the comments on robinson, mason, and austin. offense should be very much improved from last year.
