Double yuck. Not much left to write or discuss about this team it seems. We had our hopes temporarily restored with a couple of wins and a close loss at New England, then the wheels have completely come off again.
I still will debate with anyone that this team lacks in talent, and has misfired so frequently in the draft and free agency that any injury will result in a player that shoudln't be starting, starting. Also some of the stubborness of coaches and front office folks, inssisting players are doing well,or have the abilkity to play another position.
Examples:
Will Witherspoon is a dynamic top tier weakside LB, but is being played at MLB because prior to him signing with the Rams they had unfortunately invested a large amount of money on WLB Pisa Tinoisamoa. Thus Witherspoon is wrongly cast as our MLB where injuries are destroying his effectiveness.
Corey Chavous, SS. Not sure if Chavous has incrimnating photos of someone at Rams Park, but he lost the little speed he once had, and is a huge liability as a tackler. Each offseason seems to come and go with fans begging for safety help to no avail. We need a thumper back there, think of what Rodney Harrison, or Dawkins do for the Pats and Eagles.
Adam Carrkier, DE-DT. Again the Rams felt so sure that they could transform a 3-4 DE into a DT-NT. Well I know he has an ankle injury but he was getting pushed back 3-4 yards on alot of plays. Miscast.
The examples could go on forever bringing up relics like Trung Candidate and Jacoby Sheppard, but whomever gets control of signing players in the future almost by default must do a better job.
