3k's links from the league

- Well, the reports should begin popping up this morning on the scrimmage, so I'll leave those for Random Ramsdom, but I gotta show some love to a Rams blog out there that deserves some love: RamsHerd. Along with RamsGab, it's one of the two Rams blogs I read on a daily basis. At the Herd, Will put together a great report on last night's scrimmage. It deserves your eyeballs.

- The Seahawks had a scrimmage of their own last night, and, as always, John Morgan from Field Gulls is on it.

- For Niners news, Ahmad Brooks was found to have a kidney laceration. Bad stuff. Last year, his third in the NFL, he record 6 sacks - not exactly a small part of the team going down.

- Tim Tebow is now Friar Tuck.

- Over at Bleeding Green Nation, SBN's Philly Eagles community, JimmyK put together a very comprehensive overview of fringe players that could be available as teams trim the edges. Or is it hedges? If there's a bustle in your hedgerow...

- You could make the argument this year's HoF induction class was the best ever. And for such a talented group, all reports suggest last night was as classy and satisfying as you could ask for.

- Brett Favre _________ _____ ______ ______________ __ ________.

- And to round out some random NFL linkage, a pair from Football Outsiders (both Rams related). When FO breaks down rookie contracts, they break them down really, really well. The second article uses FO statistics to show that Marc Bulger, Kyle Boller and Keith Null were all in the eight worst quarterbacks in the NFL under pressure in 2009. In fact, Null was the worst. Setting the bar pretty damn low for Sam "Handwich" Bradford.

Holler.

The article from Bleeding Green Nation

makes for good and bad reading.

It would be fantastic pick ups if Andre Carter and Antonio Dixon were cut by the Skins and Eagles respectively. I think they are too good to get cut and may go for low draft picks, but here’s hoping. They might limit snaps to the some of the young guys but it would make our D line so much better, and maybe even good. That surely is a better situation for Ryan, Scott, Selvie et al, to learn and reach their potential.

Conversely, the article doesn’t identify any RB’s which I would want to back up SJax. That’s a concern because I’m starting to doubt Ogbonnaya and Toston are up to it, and at best only one will make the final roster. If those named in the article are the best that are likely to be available we better throw big money at Brian Westbrook or be prepared to part with a 2011 draft pick (and not for Marshawn Lynch).

It was an interesting read anyway, it’s just a shame that our depth isn’t good enough to make it in to considersation this year.
