PrintTop 'o the morning to all. Let's get right in and see what's happening in the world of the St. Louis Rams.
The highlight of yesterday's OTA came from DT James Wyche, according to the PD. He batted down a pass and nabbed the INT. The Rams claimed Wyche off waivers from the Jags last December.
Well compensated DT Albert Haynesworth wants a trade. Jeff at RamsGab says no way for the Rams. A big part of Haynesworth's contract has been paid, making it possible that any team acquiring him wouldn't be on the hook for too much of the ridiculous deal he got in the first place. He's also saying that he won't give any money back - remember, this is all because he doesn't want to play in a 3-4 defense. That means the Redskins could be asking for a higher return on the DT and/or some money to offset the mistake they made, effectively putting the Rams out of the mix, not that they wouldn't be anyway given that whole "four pillars" thing.
James Laurinaitis gives a very practical run down of the evolving Big 10 conference which poached Nebraska from the Big 12.
Justin King is working opposite Ron Bartell to form the Rams starting CB duo; Bill Coats from the PD expects the rapidly healing Bradley Fletcher to reclaim the starting job over King before the season starts.

Nice, V...
I’d like to see Wyche in the mix to shake things up, along with Fletcher. I think a lot of Rams fans would like to see it. Oh, and we’ll see who’s worst the end of the year. Won’t be us. Cheers
Wow about Moch.
But speed isn’t everything. Is he a freak or a freakishly fast FOOTBALL PLAYER?
I can take a beating ... I'm a Rams fan.
right now
somewhere in between. I saw some Nevada games last year and wasn’t impressed with his technique. But that’s what coaches are for – maybe he makes a leap this year.
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.

We're relying on him to practice with the first team
Until the two better options (Fletcher and Murphy) are ready. So we’re relying on him for almost nothing.
Onubon > Gates
See excerpt below. Who's passes were these? I hope it was our UFL QB's and not Sam's.
“The highlight of yesterday’s OTA came from DT James Wyche, according to the PD. He batted down a pass and nabbed the INT.”
Tough to make the move from undersized DE to 4-3 OLB
But yes, he’s top speed is sexy
