What do you guys see as our future?  I know Steven Jackson is in the last year of his contract and Torry Holt has 2 years left.  I can't imagine our team with out its 2 big play makers.  I know we still have ...(more)

So guess what the theme is for 2008?  You guessed it.  Our old and now current Offensive coordinator Al Saunders has tee-shirts printed for the Rams this year that say: "Gotta go to work".  Which was our theme in 1999-2000. So now that we have the same theme, will we have the same attitude?  And will we hav ...(more)

1. Everyone is returning at full health. I really doubt we can have another injury-riddled year like in 07, where virtually every position took a hit.

2. The draft. Not only did we score a home run pick in Chris Long, we have added depth to the O-line. ...(more)

I know alot of Ram fans question this pick , but do not be mistaken. Avery will be a great player for the Rams. I've seen him play live about 6 times. He can run like you never saw someone run and he is as tough as nails. He can stretch any defense with the long ball, and he will catch balls over the middle and take the licks. Plus any tim ...(more)

I went to NFL.com, and they listed the best remaining free agents.  They had Takeo Spikes at #2.  I know that he is getting old, and he may be on the decline, but he is an experienced linebacker.  He is probably much better than the two we drafted, and he would be a good veteran leader for the team.  If we sig ...(more)

4 Braylon Edwards: For years Edwards struggled, but only because he didn’t have a quarterback to throw the ball to him. Now that he has a good player in Anderson tossing balls in his direction, Edwards should rise on your draft boa ...(more)
