MNF open thread, TSR recap & Falcons game thread roll call

by 3k on Nov 22, 2010 3:50 PM CST in 2010 St. Louis Rams season

With San Diego and Denver about to take the field for a Monday night showdown in which the two teams have combined seven wins and 11 losses, I feel comfortable with the people who schedule the off-base football games for national broadcasts on Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights. When I learned they opted not to show a single Rams game this season, I initially questioned the decision. With tonight's game, now I see the wisdom of their decision. But hey, San Fran and Arizona get Monday Night Football next week! It's the Niners' second MNF of the season and their third national broadcast in all.

I'm not saying the council that decides which games to broadcast nationally would have predicted a 3-7 San Francisco as of today. But that's the point. You can't stack the TV schedule with the teams you think are going to perform well, or you end up getting the 2010 Cowboys on national TV every other week. Parity sells.

Anyway, Turf Show Radio was a blast this week. VTRamsFan dropped his first Super VT Brothers segment, and Van and I yakked it up for a full hour about all kinds of stuff:

hey 3k i have a draft related question

what do you think about darius morris from temple? walterfootball compared him to roger saffold and I think he could be had for a 3rd round pick so just wondering if he’s a player the rams should be looking at and if the saffold comparison is accurate.

I've only seen one Temple game this season, and two last year

It’s an interesting comparison, to say the least as they both developed huge strides. Personally, I have him way lower than a 3rd rounder. If I had to pinpoint it right now, I’d say a late 5th round guy with a high ceiling. From what I’ve seen, his lateral movement isn’t that great. Again, though, I haven’t seen nearly as much of him as other mid-round OT prospects like Bama’s James Carpenter, LSU’s Joe Barksdale, TCU’s Marcus Cannon, or even Saffold’s follow-on at Indiana, James Brewer.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
