Rams gotta have Gado

St. Louis Rams Samkon Gado is the talk of the town after an impressive 93-yard night against the Jets in Friday's preseason opener. With six productive carries, he vaulted himself up the depth chart.
He's also playing fullback, where he started Friday night in place of Mike Karney. His ability to play both spots may be the key to his job security this year. Gado told the PD:
We've got three more games left, and I've still got a lot of work to do at fullback. I think I'm being evaluated at that position. And how well I do there I think is going to dictate where I land on this team.
Should be a good story to watch. In short, Gado is doing what the Rams once expected former second round pick Brian Leonard to do. One was signed in-season as a free agent, the other was a second round pick. I"m just sayin'...

Bad Drafts
The moronic drafting of the last few years ,Linehan,Shaw damn near ruined this franchise.Sorry SOB Scott Linehan is one weak minded bitch.

Gado
I wouldn’t hand the keys to Gado yet. Don’t get me wrong. it was a great performance however, it was one rpeseason game against 2nd and third stringers (the 77 yard run).
Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks.
I agree, damn we really deserve something more after the Linehan/Shaw parade. What a joke that era was.

Catches, returns kicks, leaps buildings in a single bound
Darby caught 12 balls in two games versus the Niners last year. Gado showed he’s just as good catching the ball consistantly when he played for Houston. I don’t think Darby brings anything that we don’t already have in Gado and Silent G, and his poor blocking might’ve dropped him down to the bottom of the depth chart.
In other news of superhuman feats, Usain Bolt just ran a new world record in the 100 meters, 9.58 seconds.
Lived in LA during the Rams and Raiders days. Now based in NorCal, I am still a die hard Rams fan and Raiders season ticket holder.

Article
Great article on Rams and training camp info by SI.com. They give us a record of 6-10 and with our receiver depth, I really can’t argue

Link?
Do you have a link to that, or do you mean just in general? I loked around, there’s a lot of articles there. Some even linked back to this site.

SI just aint what it used to be
All their good writers have either left or become TV analysts. Thats fine but no one has replaced them or their investigative abilities.

the greatest thing about samkon gado? samkongado.com
he reminds us on the main page that this is the ONLY OFFICIAL SAMKON GADO WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET.
we need website leadership like this in the locker room. with his encouragement we might have a chrismassey.com or r toddjohnson.com in our future!!
