Path looks good for Kroenke: Random Ramsdom, 5/25

by Ryan Van Bibber on May 25, 2010 7:05 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

The St. Louis Rams hit the field at Rams Park for another day of OTAs...a nice muggy day of OTAs. For those us tucked inside air conditioned office buildings today, here's a few links to go with your sweet roll.

League owners seem most keen on having Stan Kroenke become the next owner of the Rams. Silent Stan made an appearance at the league owners meeting in Dallas this week asking for a grade period to settle the cross-ownership issue.

Fred Robbins figures to be part of an improved Rams defensive line, noting the unit's struggle with gap assignments last season, not to mention the struggle against opposing offensive linemen.

The Rams signed Illinois State OL Brandon Joyce to round out their roster.

OT Jason Smith, who suffered a concussion to end his season last year, will wear a new helmet designed to mitigate concussions.

Mark Kelso helmet?

I can take a beating ... I'm a Rams fan.

Don't like the sound of the new helmet

I’m probably reading too much into this, but does this mean there is an acceptance that Smith does have a concussion problem?

Could it be that the concussion(s) are weighing on his mind? A subjective fear like that could cause him to lose focus or just not play as hard as he might have.

Hopefully it is just a precaution, and his comments seem upbeat enough, but it seems a strange thing to make public given his/our misfortune last season.
