    I agree with all of that except I have Sam first and Westbrooks second. There were times Westbrooks dominated lesser competition and times he looked lost to me. Sam, while not having combine numbers, always seemed like a football player with a high motor and high football IQ to me. I’d love to see Sam make the squad and Westbrooks survive on the PS, but this league won’t let a Waufle coached rook sit for free on some PS…

    Then again, it’s Coach Williams, so it may be neither of them if someone else totally steps up and makes the decision for them.

    I’d say his head wasn’t screwed on straight, but that presumes any kind of neural connection was present…

    I think he should argue he’s a zombie and addicted to bath salts…

    Seriously, he needs help. Why he’s still on the streets is beyond me.

    I can see it. When you don’t produce for the Rams, it sends the wrong signal. I think he probably got the short end a bit.

    And who could argue that the Rams missed an opportunity with a WR? They overspend with WRs and then miss on others. So it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Steve Smith was showing well in practice and wasn’t getting game opportunities for a host of reasons.

    I think it’s taken the Rams and this group 3 years to get this ship going in a direction that they feel they can win with. I think the previous years had a bunch of “trying things”. Wouldn’t surprise me if there were more players than just Smith who fell through the cracks during this “shake down” phase…

    If he has his head on right and is ready to be that #1 guy, he’s got everything physical to BE that #1 from day one.

    Well, I think Fisher gets it WAY more than any of us do that in order for Bradford to be successful, the OL has to be healthy. PERIOD.

    If the OL is healthy, it plays well. That’s been a fact over the past few seasons. Coach Boo makes it so. There hasn’t been a time when the OL has been healthy and NOT played well.

    So I think they are simply acknowledging who and what Sam Bradford IS based on their offense. If he continues to progress with time to grow and remain healthy, then we’ll actually get the synergy we’ve needed and many of these questions will become moot.

    If we can score 4 more and allow them to score 2-3 less (per game, of course) then I think we are right where we want to be. I also can’t wait to see our D.

    I’m just glad we have nothing like the old Pittsburgh unis. They look like prison garb.

    No kidding, wha happened? You guys are part of my routine!!! Not having my Rams talk is like not having coffee or air or sex (not in that order for legal, cosmic and karmic reasons). I saw that 404 the last few days and started to panic…
