Taking stock: Random Ramsdom, 10/6

by Ryan Van Bibber on Oct 6, 2010 6:52 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

Links on a Wednesday morning...it's a beautiful thing.

Could the St. Louis Rams be interested in Randy Moss? Not a chance. They made their big wide receiver trade this year nabbing Mark Clayton, whose among the leaders in receptions, yards and catches of 25 yards or more. Not to shabby for a late round pick swap. The Rams, quietly, have a solid receiving duo with Clayton and Danny Amendola.

Yes, they lack that elite guy and they'd be wise to target one of those #1 types in the offseason. But, for now, they have a solid group of receivers that should get better once TE Michael Hoomanawanui returns and rookie TE Fendi Onobun and WR Mardy Gilyard get up to speed in the offense.

Seattle now has Marshawn Lynch, but the Rams have Steven Jackson.

Man, two wins doesn't get you enough respect...the Rams still get Pitts and Lynch in the broadcast booth for this week's game.

I think Ram wr are fine for right now...

… they are good enough to win games and good enough for the Rams to be patient for the right guy to come along and take the number 1 reciever job be that through the draft or FA.

Lynch is fine by me as a play by play guy. He respects the rams as a team turning the corner and thinks it is interesting to watch the rams at this stage. Besides in the oakland game I learned what a slobberknocker was LOL!

The Seattle trade is a curious one there, I thought Forsett or whatever his name was is pretty good…easily as good as lynch…but Carol like the two headed running attack and that is why I think they made that trade. I will still take 39 over either of those two.

I'd take #39

Over BOTH of those two.

Interesting...

I never thought carroll was a huge proponent of the 2-headed monster. I seem to only remember him barely experimenting with this in his last year of CFB (2009-10).

Reggie Bush and

Lendale White both saw their fair share of carries.

I kinda look at Pitts and Lynch as our local broadcasters.

Like Dan ’n Al for the Cardinals, the Rams have Pitts and Lynch.

They should just move to StL. And when we make our rise to the top, I want those guys to keep calling our games. If for no other reason than they deserve it.

Serioulsy though, is there another broadcasting duo that has more knowledge of a team than Pitts and Lynch have of the Rams? They just can’t be topped.

Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

+1

I have liked them over the years. They don’t show the same animosity toward the Rams as most of the others.

And I understand the pull of Sunday nights, but I hope Collinsworth is gone by the time we play there again. I always feel dumber after hearing that guy talk.

THIS year's the year. I hope....

I agree

Pitts and Lynch are pretty decent. Anyone remember J.C. Pearson and Matt Vasgersian? Theses guys were the absolute worst, and the Rams had them a lot. Hated J.C. Pearson sooooooooooo much. Basicly a Bryant Gumble clone. Vasgersian wasn’t as bad. But Pearson totally brought him down to his level.

My favorites are Kenny, Moose and Goose. Love those guys. Buck and Aikman are pretty good too.

But like I said gimme Pitts and Lynch any day over J.C Pearson and Vasgersian. God.

The name's Rams, St. Louis Rams.

Pitts

Pitts Did almost every single game during the 99 superbowl run.

It would be nice if they could only get the names of our player correct.

After visiting turf show I learned every new player and suggest they do the same:-)

Buck and Aikman or bust.

Sure most are used to Pitts and Lynch by now, but as it stands and as much as some might hate to hear this, “Pitts and Lynch” is a euphemism for “your team sucks.”

Even if one prefers Pitts and Lynch to Buck and Aikman, the latter is still regarded as the #1 broadcasting team on Fox and until we have that crew calling our game, we will have yet to be taken seriously.

However, I believe that by either week 11 vs. Atlanta or week 14 @ Nawlins, we will have Buck and Aikman calling our game (knock on wood).

to be fair,

we are playing the Detroit Lions, so I guess you could reason that way about Pitts/Lynch…although they aren’t sooo bad

I'm not trolling, just being sarcastic.

Also, the last time we won two in a row

we followed it up with the 1-29 stretch that ended in week three.

I guess I’m going to wait a week or two longer before I let my hopes get two high.

Since the Vikings got Moss today

the Rams should look at Berriran From Minnesota what do you guys think?

by Ramsfan201 on Oct 6, 2010 10:18 AM CDT reply actions

unless they assume his whole contract

Then no. I like the group we have right now and like VanRam said, we are going to get Ho Ho back plus Fendi and Gilyard are getting better everyday.

A THIRD ROUND PICK!!!!!!

Thats all it took to get Moss. We should really go after S. Rice or P. Harvin, I know both guys are hurt but when healthy would really help our passing game opposite Clayton especially Rice. Going into next season how great would we look with Rice and Clayton on the outside Avery in the slot and mixing up Gilyard, Onubon and Amendola coming in situationally as the 4th.

Oh and I like Lynch and I like the fact that they know our team and have seen them develop.

I think he is turning into a closet Rams fan,

by Rams311 on Oct 6, 2010 10:58 AM CDT reply actions

i know...lol

He legitimately likes our team…. you can tell he gets excited when he sees us do something well… I really do at this point prefer Pitts/Lynch over the other broadcast teams…. i wish they would just make them ours permenantly and be done with it…lol
