I just did a little background stuff with my grand-kids since they eat football. Seems they know players everywhere, sources I couldn’t even imagine. Especially the Bolts, since one is at SD state. Hope we see him in the future.

uncapped year = no penalty for cutting expensive players. Everyone will be salary dumping at the end of the season

Plus, they’ve already paid his guaranteed money so if they cut him, they don’t owe him anything.

There are conditions where a defensive player cannot (or will not) get to the proper side of the line. It’s a Ref’s judgment call if the O snaps the ball before that condition is met. Being “set” is just a way to call it. The D guy can also be flaged it he isn’t making the right effort (in the Ref’s eyes) to comply. It’s a game of seconds sometime, and those coached are keen to look for every advantage.

and i’ll have you know that was online all day searching for a feed of the game. i haven’t stopped supporting my rams through these three torturous years of bad football, like some have. i still post here nearly every day, and even run a rams blog in my spare time.

pollard’s a punk and so are you. go back to your own site, jackass.

and see how attendance drops.

St. Louis has only had 8 non-sellouts in 15 seasons. Considering that they’ve won a total of 6 games in the past 3 years (3, 2, 1), struggling attendance is to be expected.

Meanwhile the Texans have only been a franchise for 8 seasons, and will probably post their first losing season this year in the past 3 seasons. So, to say the Texans are a “losing team” is another example of you talking about something you apparently know nothing about. Last time I checked, 8-8 (their record the past two seasons and being somewhat in the playoff picture is not a losing season.

Btw, what does Pollard playing strong safety have anything to do with his being, or not being, a punk?

they guy’s a troll.

johnson certainly earned his fair share of yards, but i can’t help but feel we could have at least limited his production by having consistent pressure on schaub.

I’ve never been overly impressed with Singletary as a HC. Don’t get me wrong. I think he’s a good coach, I just had issue with people anointing him as some sort of throwback savior genius. Personally, the stuff that worked in Lombardi’s days don’t work today. Hell, Ditka was the exact same type of coach and he had plenty of seasons of mediocre and bad teams in Chicago and in New Orleans. As a matter of fact, most people consider (and I’m talking about former Bear players I hear on the radio all the time) the Bear teams that followed the Super Bowl team were just as good if not better than that team yet they never really got close to another SB win.

I’d think that’s on Ditka, right?

Anyway, Singletary’s fine, but often that rah rah, pull my pants down routine gets old and players tune your ass out. Sometimes it works for a few seasons, other times it lasts much less. But at some point, all the yelling and intensity wears out and if you don’t have another trick, you’re done.

On Suh, yeah, I’m in that camp with you right now that I really want him. I hope I’m not just buying into the hype (I probably am to some degree) but the more I watch our D-Line, the more desperate I get.

Nevertheless, let’s all thank Tampa Bay for providing us a little breathing room.

they’d be sitting players for 2 weeks. Sounds like a recipe for disaster once the playoffs start.

Plus, they still have a chance to improve their playoff position. Now, if by week 17 they’re pretty much locked in to a 4 seed, then I’m sure they’ll sit Warner and Fitz and some other guys, but I don’t think they’ll do too much of that this week.

Then again, the game is a late start. I haven’t seen when Philadelphia plays, but if they win, that pretty much seals Arizona into the 4th spot (IIRC) and you might see their main guys only play a half of football.

But, like I said before, sitting football players for too much is not beneficial. They need reps and while taking a week off is fine, two weeks off is un-natural to a football player.

Everybody is talking up doin’ the DEFENSE!!!!! I’m just gonna pee my pants!!!
