The Rams were patient and on paper look like they were rewarded by signing former Rams' coach Al Saunders. The core skill position players are familiar with his scheme. All pluses.
Good move but risky move by Linehan. On the one hand it certainly can be viewed as an olive branch to those veterans like Bulger, Bruce, and Holt. These players may not have been the best fit in Linehan's scheme but as for Saunders scheme, anyone can review the tape. Linehan will be a 3rd year head coach with coaches like Halsett and now Saunders with NFL cred breathing down his neck should they get off to a slow start yet again.
Look for a speedy WR in the draft or free agency to fill the Az-Hakim position. Where Drew Bennett fits now is anyones' guess.
We are still a few weeks from the combine but this will be our first chance to see arguably the top 3-5 players in action. Dorsey, Chris Long, and Darren McFadden all skipped the Senior Bowl so the combine will give us a glimpse if these three players remain highly touted.
Free agency will be interesting. Will pricey vets like Bruce, Little, and Pace return or renegotiate? Will the Rams be able to attract big name free agents? Will the defense stick with a 4-3 or be molded into a 3-4?
Should be interesting.....
And finally like many or almost all of you I'm thrilled the Pats lost. Gives me a little bit of closure for SB XXXVI.
RAM ON
