Re: Another Excellent Sunday Football Notes column from Bedard
Now there is word out of St. Louis that the Rams aren't interested in Lloyd because he isn't a YAC guy.

No matter what happens, if the Rams stay at No. 6 and don't take a wide receiver, it will put a lot of pressure on the organization to fill a position where they really need two starters. It could come in free agency, but don't expect the Rams to make a huge push for Brandon Lloyd. Lloyd has been openly lobbying for a spot in New England. In addition, the view at Rams Park is that even though Lloyd has talent, he gets next to no yards after the catch.

Boy Tom Condon is really not earning his money for Lloyd. By Tuesday at 4PM comes around, Lloyd is going to have to pay the Pats to take him at this point with his value going down and down.
Personally, I am ecstatic. The Pats might get him at a bargain well lower than anyone expects and the Pats might even have more money to add another starting quality WR. Right now the Pats have three receiver capable of getting over 1,000 yards (Welker, Gronk, and Hernandez).
As Bedard points out, Llloyd for some reason is a different guy under McDaniels. McDaniels gets him to be a team player and keep his head on straight. All this talk of being a bad apple is irrelevant if true. It just keeps a lot of teams from taking a chance on him which means the Pats will be able to get him at a bargain.
