Wow. Unbelievable.

at 1 pm — cuz NFL Netword SAID the game would be on.

So i get there and turn on the game: Saints vs Colts.

Quarterback (2)
Sam Bradford, Shaun Hill (seems silly to use a slot on a developmental QB when that’s what the PS is for)

Running Backs (4)
Zac Stacy, Benny Cunningham, Tre Mason, Chase Reynolds (Trey Watts should be on the PS)

Tight Ends (4)
Jared Cook, Lance Kendricks, Cory Harkey, Alex Bayer (Justice Cunningham lost this job with his thousand and one drops)

Wide Receivers (5)
Kenny Britt, Brian Quick, Tavon Austin, Chris Givens, Austin Pettis, Stedman Bailey (I think Pettis gets cut when Bailey returns)

Offensive Line (9)
Jake Long, Greg Robinson, Scott Wells, Rodger Saffold, Joe Barksdale, Mike Person, Tim Barnes, Davin Joseph, Travis Bond

Defensive Line (10)
Chris Long, Kendall Langford, Michael Brockers, Robert Quinn, Aaron Donald, William Hayes, Eugene Sims, Alex Carrington, Ethan Westbrooks, Michael Sam (both Westbrooks and Sam have played too well to try to stock on the PS and I think the Rams want to rotate more, anyway.)

Linebackers (6)
Alec Ogletree, James Laurinaitis, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Ray Ray Armstrong, Phillip Steward, Daren Bates

Defensive Backs (10)
Janoris Jenkins, Trumaine Johnson, TJ McDonald, Rodney McLeod, Lamarcus Joyner, Brandon McGee, Cody Davis, Mo Alexander, EJ Gaines, Greg Reid (the more I watch the last game, the more I like Reid. He sells out on tackles and even as a small body, he brings down the buffaloes as well as anyone, even doing well preventing forward progress. He’s a Fisher type DB)

Special Teams (3)
Johnny Hekker (P), Greg Zuerlein (K), Jake McQuaide (LS)

Total: 53

Has Michael Sam really played that well?

I dunno. Seems like a practice-squadder to me.

Didn’t Kurt get some criticism after it happened with Bulger?
Wasn’t there some people who thought it showed
Kurt didnt really wanna play for the Rams anymore,
or lacked fire, or somethin. ?

Heck maybe i was one of the critics. I forget.

Just think WV, Kroenke moves the Rams to LA you can probably put the franchise right there somewhere in the top 14 and probably right next to the Dodgers at number 6.

Grits

I would think the Rams would be in the top 15 if they
moved to LA, Grits.

As long as Georgia aint the owner 🙂

Kroenke doesnt need the money
though, Grits. Its not
always, totally about money
for some of these guys.

I just want to see Manziel

Well, Fisher has an owner that has
given him everything he wants;
he has a bunch of handpicked allstar coaches;
he’s had the benefit of RG3 trade;
he’s built this team with his players —
so wv-ram does not wanna see anymore .500-ish seasons.

And I wanna see a Lombardi Trophy in year
3, 4, or 5.

And i want Cake

on the internet.

“What are your favorite kinds of apples.”
“I like valencia oranges.”

Anyway, think about it though–how many teams in NFL history had 2 guys who drew double teams?

I think with virtually every great defense, if you replaced one guy from the DL, it wouldn’t be as good. (The “as” is important there.) Sapp? Greene? Page? Kirksey?

Well, Quinn is the onliest player on this team who regularly draws a double-team
I think. Maybe Cook from time to time.

But I’d like to see a WR on this team emerge to the point where
he draws a double-team.

After a week that saw a militarized police crackdown and the imposition of a nighttime curfew, Amnesty International USA has taken an “unprecedented” step by sending a 13-person delegation to monitor the developments in Ferguson, Missouri. It is the first time the Amnesty organization has deployed observers inside the United States. We speak to Steven Hawkins, executive director of Amnesty International USA.

Well, for me, it gets down to one of my favorite quotations from the Coen Brothers. It’s from Raising Arizona: “There’s what’s right and there’s what’s right, and never the twain shall meet.”

I dunno. I was thinking it was more like the Coen brothers remake
of the story of Job :
