Incognito out, Amendola in: Random Ramsdom, 11/10

Feelin' kind of random today? Headlines are percolating as the St. Louis Rams gear up for a tough game against the New Orleans Saints this week, so let's shake off the bye week rust and jump right in.

RG Richie Incognito will be out. It's not official yet, but he's not practicing this week because of his foot injury. Adam Goldberg will start in his place. WR/KR Danny Amendola has recovered from his concussion and will play this week. 

A couple of cornerbacks, Marcus Brown and Marquis Floyd, visited Rams Park yesterday. Neither has been inked yet, and S Anthony Smith's roster spot remains open. It seem like we could use the help at CB.

The NFL's schedule makers gave the 2-win Rams of '08 no breaks this year. New Orleans is the third undefeated team they'll face. That's the last, as of this week, elite team the Rams are scheduled to play, but 5-4 Houston comes to town in week 15 looking to keep their wild card shot alive. We've got two more games against the Cardinals as well.

New Orleans had a rough outing against the Panthers last week, having to fight their way back from a 14-point hole. Head coach Sean Payton doesn't seem ready to let that happen again

Didn't get enough speculation with yesterday's Jason Campbell talk? How 'bout Tony Dungy suggesting Michael Vick for the Rams? His past aside, I'm going to give that a thumbs down based on Vick's stated desire to be a QB again. I want a guy who can run a passing game with more authority, sorry. 

Donnie Avery, fantasy sleeper for week 10? Maybe. I'd feel a lot better about it if I knew Marc Bulger could throw.

Dungy stinks

I have no respect for him as a coach or an analyst. Vick is not four pillars worthy, any analyst should judge the new Rams by that factor.

For four years he coached the best team (on paper) in football and only brought home one ring. 25% isn’t that good…

Dungy is a very intelligent coach though

I think his analysis and play break down is spot on. He knows (and shows) the things that make a play work.
As opposed to the idiots who just show a playmaker running for a long gain and ignore the intracacies of misdirection, blocking schemes, etc.

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them

If I hear four pillars again I think I'm gonna hurl...

We’re 1-7 with no credible QB on the roster. Why not give Vick half a season try at QB? If it doesn’t work we can certainly draft someone. I think having Vick’s legs in the same backfield as SJax is a wild card that a lot of defenses might have a tough time figuring out. Dungy is a smart guy. He sure beat our asses enough times while coaching TB and Indy.

Vick is under contract with the Eagles.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Correct, but...

maybe they’d be willing to deal him. He doesn’t seem happy in Philly and they’ve got both McNabb and Kolb. It also appears Andy Reid might owe us a little something for giving them Will Witherspoon. Of course I don’t fully understand how that could work after the “trade” deadline…
