The Rams Wide Receivers Depth Chart

Print- Robinson looked very good last season before he got hurt. He ran very good routes, and can do the post route in the endzone (see game against the Redskins). He will be a super sleeper and will lead the team in receptions.
2. Donnie Avery
- Avery has definitely had his ups and downs. Avery is NOT a #1 receiver, and he never will be. When the "Idiot' (I mean Scott Linehan) drafted him, Torry Holt and Drew Bennett was in front of him. Avery is a very good option when you run screens and straights down the field for him. He is a flanker, if he and Robinson are healthy, they can compliment each other very well. Avery is running out of time, but at least he has an accurate QB named Sam Bradford.
- Gibson now has a full year of knowing the system, not like last season where he had to learn on the run. I don't expect a great year, but I expect some key first downs from him. He reminds me of a Ricky Proehl.
- In his first year, Gilyard will be more involved in the return game, but his success in the receiving game will be determined by the chemistry he has with Sam Bradford. Expect Gilyard not to have great numbers in 2010.
- He also has a very short leash like Avery, if he underperforms, Brooks Foster is ready to step in. Burton has average last season, and rarely got separation. I'm not even sure if he is healthy or not. This very easily could be his last season as a Ram.
6. Brooks Foster
- Foster will not dress to start the season. He will fill in if someone can't play that week. Foster is at least a Devaney pick so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully in 2010, he can stay healthy and make a contribution.
Practice Squad: Dominique Curry Brandon McRae
- I heard they're alright, the practice squad looks good for them.
Cut: Jordan Kent & Danny Amedola
- Kent is only good as a special teamer and unfortunately Amendola will be pushed aside by Mardy Gilyard. I loved Amendola, he was the best since Tony Horne. But Gilyard is better, but Amendola will be signed by another team for sure.

sorry
but burton suxzzzzzzzzz, def the worst reciever on our team. he doesn’t make the team, while amendola most def DOES!!!!!
I sure wish everyone would say "in my opinion" or something similar
when posting instead of making pronouncements that sound like they are meant to be indisputible fact. That just irritates everyone else for no reason, and weakens your argument.
he doesn't
he was slowly becoming our most dependable guy before he got hurt in mid season, he got a rough deal.
i think he will have a good year this year, but may not be retained because he doesn’t have any value beyond WR and there are a few above him in the pecking order.
amendola and gilyard have special teams potential. Burton will get picked up by another team and do some good work, he is a talented guy, he’s just had injury problems (as has EVERYONE on the rams it seems sigh)
Bradford to Onobun!
most dependable guy?
i laughed at that….. anyway your definition of dependable is different than mine – he had one game with over 50 yards and never had more than 5 catches (he did have 5 catches three times)
consistency is one thing, but if you consistently post in between 25-50 yards, it doesn’t really do much for me
Rasmus can hit lefties

I don't think the team is in a position to cut Amendola
He may not be the most talented player on the team, but he showed up on Sundays and produced. That can’t be said for many players on that team. No way he gets cut
amendola makes team
Foster or Burton will be 6th receiver
Depending on how Training Camp goes
Mardy Gilyard may be our special teamer/return man on kicks plus he’s the newest receiver on the block and does not know the system so he won’t rate as the #4 receiver on the team…move everyone behind him up by 1 position on the depth chart, place him after Keenan Burton (giving Keenan his last chance to make the team), move Foster into the practice squad (or maybe even off the team) and keep Danny Amendola at #6 reciever/backup return specialist.
This is in my opinion anyway.
Go Rams!
"We can't run. We can't pass. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't kick. Other than that, we're just not a very good football team right now." --- Bruce Coslett, New York Jets Head Coach circa 1990s
If Amendola does not make the team it won't be by getting cut..
He will be traded to a team that needs a return man (Giants, Detroit). We wil get something in return for him.
What is all this Gibson love? Is he really better than Burton, Amendola, Gilyard, Foster, Curry, McCrae? I know he showed well against NO but after that, I only remember the drops, fumbles and no YAC. Enlighten me as I did not see enough to put him 3rd on this list.
I think I want Gibson to pan out
Because he was basically all we got out of Witherspoon. We also got Hall Davis out of that deal to so we’ll see how the deal panned out in 1-3 years. We also wasted Eugene Sims out of the deal (acquired Eagles 5th round pick and Gibson for Witherspoon, then traded Eagles 5th round pick, Rams 7th round pick and Carriker to Washington for their 5th and 7th. We then traded Washington’s 5th round pick to the Falcons for their 5th rounder (Davis) and 6th rounder, which we used to take Eugene Sims.) Anyway, I don’t think Sims will pan out because he’s a DE who’s as tall as Onobun, but 30 lbs lighter. So if Gibson and Davis don’t pan out, I feel like we just wasted a solid linebacker, not that it would have helped much this season anyway.
Onubon > Gates
Amendola has next to no trade value
i don’t see how this happens
Rasmus can hit lefties

Avery is our number 1
Avery is our number 1 if he is used right and has a QB to throw to him. I do not think he is on a short leash as you put it. If he had a QB that was consistent last yr he would have put up much better numbers.
Amendola definitely stays on the practice squad, maybe he even gets on and Burton is sent down.
If you give a man a fish, they say, he'll stink up the whole town. However, give a man a fishing rod and he'll poke your eye out.
Neither of those two are eligible to be on the practice squad.
Practice Squad Eligibility
According to league policy, only certain types of players are allowed to sign to the practice squad. Players cannot have played more than nine regular season games or been on the active roster for an entire year, nor can players be allowed to spend more than two seasons on the same team’s squad unless that team’s active roster never dips below 53 players.
Onubon > Gates
I find it funny, that the poster calls Linehan an idiot (well deserved) and then follows it up with grammar that my 10 year old cousin would laugh at.
Not that im saying this poster is stupid. I often make spelling and gramatical errors. its possible i’ve done so in this post. This is a person we trust with the diagnosis of a teams wide recievers?
I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!
The Rams won one game last year and u have a chance to sign TO and your not doing it the objective in football is to win and the Rams have a chance to do that the division is wide open if we can get TO we would have the best running back , Possibly the best QB and the second best WR in the division THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
