I say “W” cause I just saw an article on Brady, and the caption said he hasn’t missed a start since 2008, and doggone it, there has to be justice somewhere, somehow…

Doesn’t there???

Somewhere between Wagoners 5-11 and Macks 13-3 is the 2014 reality for the Rams.

Guess it could be 11 wins, but I don’t have a real warm and fuzzy any more. I predicted a 10-6 season when Bradford and the WR’s started showing something this preseason, then upped it to maybe 11-5 after they played a couple of games.

Losing Bradford yanked it backward to 9-7.

That’s what I’m thinkin’. 9-7.

&That would be awesome ! 6 months he’d be back before the draft and well tested by OTA’s.

Just in time for the next preseason assault…

Sarcastic, I know. Sorry.

Nope.

Not sure the risk/reward payoff warrants games 1,2 or 3 either. Obviously stated in light of present circumstances

Geez, hate to think of him as just a special teams gimmick. I was hoping for more Welker-like contributions than Devin Hester v2.

Something Snead said last night while in the booth caught my ear. Nothing really earth shattering, and not something we don’t already realize…

He said that a lot of what you see on the field during pre-season games are guys trying to make the team. And because of that, you tend to get a lot of “individual” performances, and not team focused effort.

That’s got to lead to missed assignments, blown coverages & gaps, etc.

Factor in having starters on the bench, rooks trying to make the team and doing their own thing, I dunno, I don’t get overly excited or disappointed in preseason. It is what it is.

Best part for me is seeing the new guys, and the possibilities.

If it is at all possible, he looks to be playing faster this year. Getting reps both outside at WR and in the slot, especially when Britt and Quick are on the field. Also being seen on a semi regular basis in the backfield, and getting reps in the run game. I am a little concerned that many of his reps are between the tackles which exposes him to more hits that necessary. Obviously, he will be the primary Punt Returner, and will be as dangerous as ever in that role.

Not sure if its just me, but isn’t that kinda like taking a Corvette off-roading through the woods? Why tempt fate?

1). Secondary

2). Receivers

3). Bradford

Don’t really have any pressing questions regarding what Bradford is capable of, I think I saw enough good last year. Really boils down to whether or not he can last an entire season, health wise, and can he lead the Rams into the post season.
