Random Ramsdom: Sept 10th 2009

by Eric Nagel on Sep 10, 2009 11:24 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

Please excuse the tardiness of this one...not only did my computer not boot (Hooray for Vista) but then my internet would not work. When it rains it pours, but onto the Rams...

Jeff@Ramsgab posted up the Rams DVOA for the preseason. Mean wins: 8.7. Not too shabby if you ask me.

While it's been reported on earlier, the Rams cut Chris Draft. Quinton Culberson was resigned as a result and it appears David Vobora will be starting against the Seahawks at that position. I'm all for saving money, but when he only (only? I would take that salary) makes 1.225 million dollars and your asking him to take a 25% cut, doesn't that start to pass into the realm of being a tight-wad? Especially when you only have 6 LB's on the team now, 5 of which are able to play (Larry Grant is injured).

Sando chimes in with some analysis on the Draft catapulting as well.

It seems like everything is starting to come back together after all those little injuries, just in time for Seattle.

the 2006 draft was blah, but how will this one do? The top two have made the starting lineup, with two more sure to get some playing time during the season. Time will tell if we trade them to Atlanta or they become good starters.

T-minus 3 days and counting.

Excitment is not a word

I would use to describe what I am feeling right now in anticipation of the Ram’s first game. Seeing this team on the field actually playing for a real win is going to be great, or at least I hope it will be great.

I really expect this DEF to show up and play like animals, wild but trained animals. of course Spag is not a miracle worker, but with the tightening up of players attitudes and better coaching they should play better than in years past. Think our D back in the days before Lovie jumped over to Chicago! Ball hawking crazy men!

Our offense is a huge question mark for me. Will the new young receiving corps be smooth and fluid in their routes and have that ever important timing down with the Bulge, or will we have to depend on SJ39 and good old bread and butter plays with the TE.

I’ll be there with my popcorn for munching and my vodka just in case we tank early!

They will notice and they will giggle.
