Rams lose CB Bradley Fletcher for the season

Just when you thought the news for an 0-7 St. Louis Rams team couldn't get any worse... CB Bradley Fletcher and LS Chris Massey are out for the season.

The kicking game could get interesting without Massey, who is one of the best in the business. The Rams haven't been able to generate enough offense to score touchdowns, so the kicking game is their primary source for points. We'll see how transferable this skill is.

Losing Fletcher to a hyper-extended knee hurts. A third-round pick this year he had edged his way into the starting lineup over the last three games. He plays a physical style of defense, and you could even make the case that he's our top CB right now. Er, he was.

Richie Incognito is out for a game in all likelihood as well with a foot injury. More thoughts on the offensive line to come, but this could be a good chance to test some theories I have as to why our offensive line is not as strong as it should be.

Sounds like a movie trailer

He was young and hopeful. But amid the squalor, he alone had the resolve to rise above. Jake Gyllenhall is Marc Bulger in The Sun Also Rises

Fletcher

He was looking good. Way better than Justin King (who btw I think is a major disappointment. Remember all the good things they were saying about him last year? Seems like everytime he steps on the field he gets burned for a touchdown)

This way

we can negotiate with the pick before the draft;)

We take what we got--

It is what it is—We still go out and battle every week. Maybe luck will shine on us sometime, but don’t put your umbrellas away. Just keep fightin’ men. GO AS FAR AS YOU CAN RAMS!!!!

I think God likes seeing the Rams lose..

Every good player we find and they peform really well, they get hurt and we lose them. Robinson, Foster, Gibson, and now Fletcher?! If JL gets hurt I will get on the ground in the fetal position and sob

This station is now the ultimate power in the universe!

by AbsolutMoose on Oct 26, 2009 5:00 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

You summed it up perfectly...

…and if JL were to get injured, I would be in the same fetal position on a pile of feces with a TWIST: sucking my thumb as I cry!

I Want The Rams Back In LA....The More They Lose The More Of A Chance That It Will Happen....Sorry St Louis You Cant Keep A Team(Twice)...Rams Come Home....We'll Be Here For You When You Do

Move Howie's kid to OLB

He can play OLB in a 4-3 or ILB in a 3-4 (which the Rams can’t play because they don’t have more than one real NFL linebacker anyway).

I just watched Will Witherspoon, late of the Rams...

…intercept a Washington pass and run it in for a TD for his new team the Eagles.

by edpjr on Oct 26, 2009 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's the first big play he's made all season.

good for him.

also

sacked the QB and forced a fumble

by jb22 on Oct 26, 2009 11:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

also because Steve Spagnuolo doesn't run a 3-4.

oriole fan eh

Their the only team i like in baltimore tickets are so cheap you can sit with Palmer and brooks Robinson. figures i like all these struglling teams i think i just have something for the under dog.

Bradley Fletcher

IMO was/is the Rams Rookie of the Year (if 0-16 teams deserve awards). Wade and King have to suck it up the rest of the way; maybe Fakhir Brown can come back (no, not kidding). Bartell is becoming a lost cause at CB; he’s probably really a S.

Aside from C.J. Ah You and Steven Jackson, there’s not a whole lot worth looking at from the Colts game. Avery if he can stay on the field will be allright. Bajema looks like he can long snap so there’s hope there.

Whoawhoawhoawhoa

Fletcher over Laurinaitis? Please explain

Your uncle molests collies.

Steeler fans don't recognize LBs in a 4-3 system.

by Tackle Box on Oct 26, 2009 9:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

Laurinaitis should be RotY,

but Fletcher was fast becoming our best corner. I don’t know what’s wrong with Bartell, but he just isn’t getting it done this year.

by andyrose on Oct 26, 2009 9:59 PM CDT reply actions  

straight up pathetic, at this point of a shipwreck season i don’t see anything good at all except for the kid playin LB from Ohio st. ( didn’t want to spell his name wrong) and of course S. JAX so that automatically means 1 will be hit by lightning and the other will be a victim of a suicide bomber with our luck
