At the quarter mark in the 2011 season we have a clearer picture of this team moving forward.
Rams depth pre-injury may have been improved but losing two of your top three CBs would debilitate most teams, and the Rams are no exception.
The OL we all thought was a strength has been very poor in pas protection, with Bradford being harassed on 40% of his dropbacks so far.
SJ39 being injured early on seemed to affect the teams identity.
Fred Robbins and James Hall may have let age catch up to them. They dont seem to have the same ability this year to disrupt plays.
Mikell has been a bright spot, but the other safety position is a liability.
Mix those issues with bad tackling, penalities, drops, and lack of fire bring us to an 0-4 start with three brutal games after the bye.
Not many positives to hold onto at the moment.

Rams vs NYG
If injuries weren't enough the Rams continue to be slowed by penalities, turnovers, and poor red zone efficiency. This team that lacks playmakers and the skill positions continues to do very well between the 20's, and then stall.
Quick thoughts:
It might be time to make a trade for a CB. The Rams have another injury with RFA Atchinson down with a hamstring injury. Couple that injury with Al Harris looking his age sometimes, something needs to occur to give that position stability.
Bradford needs to look of DBs more. In zone coverage the DBs are looking back at Bradford. May be a reason that our yards after catch are non existent.
Lets hope for better luck and a few calls go our way this week.

53 team named
Quick thoughts:
QB: I really like Thadeus Lewis and thought he outplayed Feely. Since Lewis still is elligible for the practice squad I hope he ends back with the Rams.
RB: No surprises
WR: Avery played well but mainly in the 2nd half of preseason games against inferior competition. Mardy reminded me of all the bad traits of Az Hakim.
TE: Again Fendi Onubun is still raw and eliigible for practice squad.
OL: Surprised by the release of Foster and the FA from the Patriots. I am not a Hank Fraley fan so maybe we can upgrade via waiver wire.
DL: George Selvie is a heck of a player, and simply got caught up in the numbers game. He was sideline to sideline effort guy and was solid on special teams.
OLB: Zac Diles was much like Avery, played mainly against backups and didnt stand out
CB: Only 4 CBs so expect a trade or a pickup before week 1.
S: No surprises
