July 29th Turf Show Radio LiveBlog

We’ve got two great guests coming, Will from Rams Herd and Jeff from Rams Gab, so if you can’t squeeze in a call, post anything here. I’ll try to track anything posted here during the show.

Talking Laurinaitis/Thomas

Jeff
1. The offensive line play. The offense doesn’t move without improvement there.
2. Marc Bulger – usually he’s the number 1 question because he’s the quarterback, but this is a huge year for him and where the Rams are going with the glamour position down the road.
3. The defense. The defense was startingly bad last year and the only major additions are Laurinitis and James Butler. Is it enough?

Will
1. Rebuild the concept of the "rams way" from the standpoint of discipline, toughness, and togetherness. Turn this collection of old and new parts into something cohesive.
2. Keep Bulger upright and get him comfortable with a quick, accurate release — off his FRONT foot.
3. It’s imperative that Laurinaitis become an every-down contributor. Our LB depth is so thin .. He needs to prove the team’s faith in him.

3k
1. position battles (WR, DT, CB)
2. attitude / buying into Spagnuolo, Shurmur & Flajole
3. the prologue to turning the corner

Ryan
1. Learning the playbook on both sides of the ball. How steep is the curve?
2. Four pillars ON the field, aka, how do the players respond to the changes?
3. Rebounding stars, i.e. Jackson and Bulger.

good stuff from everybody on how Thomas could contribute; now on to Animal, Jr.

who’s going to help Bartell?

Dammit I’m at work.

Got here too late, went off air sorta suddenly. Next time I hope to join you guys.

Please post that MP3 file to the radio website when you get a chance so I can hear what I missed. Thanks!

sorry had to drop off, but this is the best show yet.
thanks again to Will and Jeff and 3k

Good show, men. Plenty of intelligent conversation.
