New Look Rams, Fishers vision will start to show this year..

[Retroram52]

Exactly Smed. Could not have stated it better!

 

[Retroram52]

On the Rams homepage, the following is what is listed as the starting O-line with back-ups:
LT Greg Robinson Brandon Washington
LG Rodger Saffold Garrett Reynolds
C Tim Barnes Barrett Jones
RG Garrett Reynolds
RT Brandon Washington

This may or may not change at the end of training camp or at the end of the preseason but right now this is what is up on that page. Not too bad. Brandon Washington has bulked-up to 327 lbs and Jack Reynolds' neph is up to 315 lb. If any of the young ones make it then the line-up shall change but I think this what we will start the season with knowing that Fischer doesn't like to start rooks unless they are killer studs.

 

[Rambulance]

I'm not asking for a Super Bowl, I'm just asking that they don't come out and lay the extended preseason on us. I'm tired of these slow starts that puts the Rams in a hole that they are struggling to dig out of all season.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, Rambulance. That'll be a good indicator of just how improved we will be. If the Rams come out with two, three, four wins instead of the historical losses, we will be on our way to an improved ballclub.

As an NFC fan...I too look forward to the Rams play this coming season and beyond. Fisher-n-Co. took a chance with Sean Mannion as well.

GL2U and your teams future.

With our extremely young Offensive Line we may see Sean starting sooner than later wallace!

Another small set-back in Team Fisher. Trey Watts will be suspended the first four games of the new season for violating the league's PED's policy. I am sure he is innocent as they all claim to be. Not a good way to try to make the club. The last guy that this happened to was sent packing. The WR Pettis was let go for this kind of thing. Watts may suffer the same fate although we still have Pead on the roster which makes little sense.

 

[bluepigpen]

We have no time for this, send him and Pead to the Vikings, they need a RB that want to play.

 

[Retroram52]

I like that suggestion Blue. Would rid us of two problems with one trade.

I just have this feeling that Pead makes the team and flashes more than anyones expects.

Not sure why, it's just a feeling...

Certainly possible, he has to know this is his last real shot at an NFL roster. He screws up again, his career is over. He must know that....

 

[Red_Chaos]

when will these guys ever learn.........

 

[shopson67]

He was flashing a bit before the last injury, at least as a kick returner. If not Pead, maybe a UDFA makes the team in place of Watts (Malcolm Brown, maybe Terrence Franks?). Rams have had some success finding RBs as UDFAs of late, including Watts.

 

[Retroram52]

Those UDFA's you mentioned Shopson have a great chance of making the Rams final roster. Franks and Brown are pretty good and from what I am reading, one or both are expected to earn a roster spot.

 

[shopson67]

As much as I liked what I saw of Watts, he's very replaceable. Fisher always has plenty of RB options in camp, so Watts will have a tough time holding onto that spot. Not a good time to get suspended...

If this is a 4 game suspension for recreational drugs, that means it is a second offense, right? Isn't a first offense usually less?

 

[Retroram52]

Depends on the situation that lead to the charge.

 

[Jermaine133]

eh..not like we will miss a beat because he's a practice squad guy which are always easily replaceable.

 

[jacobarch]

At least he's the 4th or 5th string RB. It would suck if it was Mason or BC

 

[Retroram52]

After a week of OTAs, here is what everyone is saying about Foles. I have believed all along that this guy might be the Roman Gabriel-type QB we have all been looking for since Kurt Warner left. Check it out. Pretty exciting!

Quarterback Nick Foles may be new to the Rams, but tight end Jared Cook said that’s not how it seems.

“It just feels like he belongs here, and it feels like he’s been here for a while, which is a good piece. It’s what we need,” Cook said on Tuesday. “I’m so glad he’s here. I love that he’s here. I love what he brings to us, and I love the fact that he’s just an up tempo, positive guy.”

Cook wasn’t the only one with effusive praise for St. Louis’ starting quarterback.

“Our chemistry has been great since Day 1,” wide receiver Kenny Britt said. “He’s not going to throw a fastball when you’re five yards down the field. He has a touch, he has a sense of when to put a little bit of touch on it, and when to throw it in there with his fastball. But he can throw it all.”

This was taken from the Rams homepage and they have some great new vids and pics from the OTAs and the new guys. Watching those vids can get you pretty stoked, at least that is my reaction.

 

[shopson67]

Really hope Foles removes all doubt this season, as the Rams have a tough decision on him coming up next year.
