Rams vs Lions

RAMS WIN, RAMS WIN!!!!

OK I felt way too good with that win. Either way a win is a win and these guys deserved to win. They also deserved to beat the Redskins and Jags, and how much deifferent would we be looking at this team?

Quick thoughts:

Steven Jackson should be recognized nationally as an elite back.

Do the Rams run the same 8-10 offensive plays all game?

Kudos to that patchwork OL blocking for SJAX, and protecting Bulger.

Please draft a pass rushing DE. Think if we had Dwight Freeney or a young Leonard Little. Our secondary is doing a good job for a team that generates very little pass rush.

Congrats to Spags, the team and all the fans.

Rams vs Colts

Missed the game due to travelling so this will be more of a summary of the current state of the Rams.

I mentioned in an earlier post that if we viewed this year as a year for our young players to grow and gain experience that I was OK with that. The problem is that injuries are derailing that plan.

Laurant Robinson, Bradley Fletcher, Brooks Foster, Adam Carriker, Erfic Bassey, and Gary Gibson are all on Injured Reserve now.

Robinson was our #1 WR
Fletcher had taken over as a starter from Jonathan Wade ar CB
Foster was counted on for depth at WR and special teams
Carriker was a starter at DT
Bassey was a special teams dynamo last year and a solid Safety prospect
Gibson was starting fro an injured Carriker

Tough to grow as a team when you keep losing key components.

This team was a challenge from the start but add the injuries it almost isn't fair, and the final scores are proof of that.

Rams vs Jags

This one sure stings, huh?

The classic debate is always which is worse for a fan a blowout loss, or a close loss. At this point we have all experienced enough losing, they all hurt.

I know many folks have turned to the draft as our Rams are projected as a lock for a top 5 pick again, possibly number one overall. All the focus has been on which QB the Rams should draft. Bulger hasn't looked great, and I'm certainly not saying we shouldn't draft a QB, but this teams desperately needs a pass rusher. Little wreaked havoc and he is 34 years old.

Saw a statement this week that stated that: you win or lose by your ability to create sacks, and prevent sacks. That about sums it up. Any QB with time will eventually kill you, and the best QB that gets hit and sacked will easily be knocked out of rhythm and off his game.

We need play makers on both sides of the ball, but a young pass rusher is my early choice for next years' wish list.
