I can't get over how well Banta-Cain has played for the Pats. Saffold is highly regarded by the Rams but 95 gave him more than he could handle. Saffold picked up two penalties in the second quarter and had to work hard just to stay even most of the time. Banta Cain seems like the only pass...

Just some thoughts from a Rams fan, based on the first half only: I thought the Patriot offensive tackles were outstanding. Light had the easier task because James Hall was out but handled Ah You and Sims with little trouble. Vollmer stoned Long all night with the exception of the one play...

Just a little expansion on the Rams: On defense, Spagnuolo likes to do a lot of situational substituion. Two of the starting LB's come out in passing situations and he prefers to run DE James Hall at DT with that same idea. His 3, 4 and 5 DE's were all dinged last week and I'm not sure who...

Back in 2001 Rams defensive coordinator Lovie Smith, fresh from Tampa Bay, thought Damione Lewis could be the next Warren Sapp. it never happened with the Rams. He was pretty much a one trick pony, an explosive first step between the guard and tackle but no counter moves if he couldn't beat the...

I really appreciate reading these posts from Pats fans on one of my favorite Rams players. It was fun to root for somebody for his entire career. I remember David Halberstrom writing a book about the 1947 pennant race between the Yanks and Red Sox and his feeling that Johnny Pesky was one of...

Rams fan here. I was disappointed that Fells wasn't tendered. He didn't have a good body of work but he showed flashes as a pass catcher, as a runner after the catch and a blocker. Randy McMichael was the in line TE nearly all the time but when the Rams went to two or three TE's, Fells would...

The source was pro football reference, link Football Players Who Played as a Quarterback | Pro-Football-Reference.com There was no methodology on my part. I simply clicked on the player and then on splits and the source gave a lot of data included home and road passer ratings.

I've always thought that Passer Ratings were biased toward those QB's in domes and those that played in good weather. I ran career passer ratings for road games because I thought it would be a leveler of sorts. I know passer ratings are only one component of the quality of QB's. The results...

PLease Delete Sigmund Bloom message I thought this was video that had not been linked but it's there on page 1. Sorry.

Sigmund Bloom likes Sebastian Vollmer He was on my list of mid round picks. He had back surgery in 06 and missed the year so I was reluctant to move him higher. What impressed me most about him was that he improved a lot between 2007 and 2008. Link to Bloom's Videos: Just scroll down for...

I'm disappointed that the Rams lost but it was a good game and the Rams were competitive. That is as well as the Rams can play. I thought the difference in the game was Cassell's poise and the Pats defensive line taking control. I take it for granted that Welker and Moss are going to play...

Head Coach Jim Haslett October 24, 2008 (On if RB Steven Jackson will be able to play) “It will be a game day decision. He came out, I think before you guys came out, but he was working, took limited reps, but he did take some stuff. He doesn’t need a lot of reps because he knows...

According to the Rams injury report, Jackson did not practice but worked with the strength coach and Carriker did not practice. Without Carriker, the Rams have to get a lot of snaps out LeRoi Glover and some play at DT from their defensive ends, Adeyanju and Hall. Against the Pats they may...

I thought Linehan just didn't have the background to be an NFL HC. He was a coordinator for Tice & Saban, built a reputation on Culpepper and Moss and was given the Rams job where he was expected to be HC, OC, Draft Maven, prob personnel guy and the face of the franchise. Martz failed under the...

It best to visit before the temperature gets too hot. I avoided the Super Bowl, Spygate and will avoid Game Day. You have a great board here, well moderated and filled with a lot of good articulate fans. Of course that isn't always true but that's the nature of fandom. We have had some...
