NFL Rumors: Can the Rams find a receiver?

but I think that when Danario Alexander is healthy, we have to give him a shot. He’s a big receiver, something we don’t have right now. I’ve heard that he’s not healthy yet, but we’re going to need to see him for a few games this year to see if he has potential to perform at the NFL level. A large receiver would be huge for us, so going forward we need to know if Danario can be that guy, or if we have to go and get somebody like A.J. Green in the draft.

Right now, we need to get somebody. It’s pretty obvious that neither Brandon Gibson nor Laurent Robinson can be a starter right now. Contrary to what I said in fury yesterday, these guys may be good in the future. However, we can’t have them starting right now. I’d love to see us go out and get somebody to start with Amendola, then bring in Robinson in three and four-wide sets and play him on the flank with Amendola and/or Gilyard in slot positions.

And a final question, what is Mark Clayton’s contract situation? Is he a free agent after this year, or do we have a few years with him?

I think they will go get someone with a later round pick. When we picked up Clayton, I don’t think anyone knew he was available. Maybe I am wrong, but I had no idea. I just hope we get something done instead of nothing. Danny can’t do it all. I noticed after Mark went down, the only one catching the ball was Amendola. We need some help.

I can see how spnding more draft picks for subpar talent is going to help. A 2nd for Vj sounds great but he could be had in FA next year. Can we run the rooks? 2 TE sets? Can onobun line up wide? He is fast enough, no? We can still get our 5 predicted wins with what we have, I think.

Are we exploring any of those guys?

but let’s face it.. they were cut for a reason

If we don’t add a WR before next week:

Gilyard should start. He hasn’t been too impressive as a receiver but he has upside. Perhaps, he would be more productive if he got more first team reps in practice and the staff designed the passing game plan with the knowledge he would be on the field more. Speeding up Gilyard’s learning curve could be the silver lining here. I don’t see Gibson ever being a viable starting WR.

Fendi should play more. The game plan should include plays designed to get him the ball when he is in single coverage with a linebacker.

SJAX should line up in the slot some. Darby has been decent and SJax is probably the best receiver on the roster. If nothing else, SJAX would definitely get a lot of attention in that capacity which would give the wideouts a better chance at getting open.

No playing time to anyone named Darcy. This is the “fifth pillar”.

Sure, Clayton was better than we had hoped, but will lightning strike twice?

What we don’t want is to get lucky and/or play above our heads and win the division. We really need another good draft and a good FA to make this team a real competitor.

If we luck into a 7-9 division title, we earned a bottom 12 draft spot instead of the 10-12 spot we truly earned.

I’m not saying I want us to continue losing, but we sure don’t want to handcuff ourselves for the long term.

I don’t know what they should do, It’s just a sad situation.

just not the long term health types.

We need to be more creative with getting Jackson the ball. Why not line him up in the slot from time to time… if nothing else you will create uneasiness in the defenses by shifting him out there during pre snap.

If all Alexander did was sprint down the field on a few plays as a decoy he’d be more valuable then our bottom three receivers!

We’re not scouting or not developing our WRs properly. I’d take a look at bringing a new receivers coach because our young guys look absolutely lost out there and there is no legitimate reason for them to look as bad as they have other than they aren’t grasping the NFL game.

With Clayton out I’d really revisit the V Jackson trade possibility- give him his pay day but make sure there is a behavior clause that makes him eat it if he’s suspended for another DWI. If he won’t agree to that then F him! The Chargers would likely settle for a tad bit less this late in the game or maybe we split the picks traded out over two years. This team needs to continue to build some momentum this season or they run the risk of not cashing in on the renewed interest in the team generated by Bradford. It may not be the best strategic football move but considering the fragile state of the team and fan base there needs to be some hope injected immediately.

And The Rams need to do what The Colts do, and put our talented tight ends in slot sometimes.

If we have high enough of a pick, does anyone else agree with drafting AJ Green?

  Devin Thomas is the best value and has the possibility to be a steal. A young guy like this gets a wake-up call by being cut. Take him on, strap him with contract conditions to work hard and see where it goes. He has the size and speed to be great in a good system. He can grow with Bradford. This guy is a win-win when you consider all the available WRs on the squad are all at the same basic experience level.

they have more guys than they need and they use a west coast offense. Berrian is still fast and can stretch the field. Would be worth giving him a chance for a later round pick. Berrian, Robinson, Amendola I think would be a good threesome.
