PrintSince my computer is leaking memory like a civ right now, I'm just going to spit out the links for this morning:
Apparently nobody could meet the Chargers demands for Vincent Jackson. Teams had given acceptable contracts for VJ, only to get shot down by the Chargers. And personally, I call BS about the whole "the Rams don't want him anymore because of x." If you are going to trade for him, your going to give up picks. A player of his caliber is going to demand some coin. And it's fairly obvious he has a DUI, which the Rams kinda already knew about two days ago when they were interested. But way for Devaney to look out for the other GM's and save face instead of saying Smith is a total tightwad. And that my friends, looks exactly like what happened. If the Chargers demands were lower...a certain someone would be in blue and gold.
Mike Sando has a certain head coach falling in his NFC Stock Watch. After the undisciplined mess in Oakland, I don't really blame him. Not having your team ready shouldn't ever happen in the NFL. Sando also takes a look at the injury watch around the division.
Ramsherd checks in with RedskinsPost.com about the upcoming game and a look at Sam Bradford. TST will be doing something like that in the next few days, so check in frequently!
Mike at Ramsgab takes a look at the offensive line performance in the Oakland brawl. Dink and dunk is most certainly featured.
The Rams still need to sell some tickets if local fans want to avoid a blackout.
Bernie thinks the Rams coaching needs to be more creative. Oh yes, they do.
That's all for today. Go Rams!

Jackson
Jackson has 2 dui arrests, if he was to receive another he would be useless to the rams, he would probably face a year suspension if he was to receive another
VJ isnt worth a 2+3 when we could get young DEVELOPING talent
like Michael Floyd possibly in the 2nd round
Give me a break
We have been developing talent for years and where has that gotten us? Guess what? You don’t win games in the NFL by developing talent. The Saints didn’t ‘develop’ a great QB, they picked him up off of free agency. They took a gamble when everyone thought Brees was done with a bum shoulder. The Vikings didn’t develop into a team that had a chance at a Super Bowl, they picked up a great Left Guard in free agency and picked up one of the great QB’s (love him or hate him) off of free agency that led them to the championship game. How did the development of Tavaris Jackson work out?? When we won the Super Bowl, we didn’t ‘develop talent’. We lost our starting QB and a freak of nature named Kurt Warner came in and led us. We didn’t ‘develop’ one of the greatest running backs of all time, we traded for him. Do you see the pattern? You don’t develop talent in the NFL and win. You let other teams do the training and then you pick them.
On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

OK. Let’s give up the draft and just pray that HOFamers just fall into our laps…

Don't you think it's odd
that you’re singling out a player or two from each team and ignoring the entirety of the rest of its roster? Let me bring it close to home. Would Kurt Warner have led the Rams to the Super Bowl had we not drafted Issac Bruce, Torry Holt and Orlando Pace?
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.
It all boils down to BOLD moves.
We wouldn’t have drafted Pace because the Raiders were licking their chops at number two and we traded with the Jets to move up and get Pace.
We traded our draft pick with the Colts to get Marshall Faulk.
We traded with the Redskins to get Trent Green. You gotta admit, he was hot during that preseason and everything already looked like it was clicking.
We picked up Adam Timmerman from the Packers through free agency.
It’s time for the Rams to consider making some more bold moves. I actually wouldn’t mind making a trade with the Chargers to get Marcus McNeil to bring in as our LT and move Saffold to guard where he was originally projected coming out of college.
NachoD has a point
In order to get moving and shaking you have to move and shake.
The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

We have so many holes
we need those picks badly. We need talent, of course – but we need quantity. This regime has done a pretty good job of turning 3rd round picks into useful players…of course we’ve been picking at the top of the 3rd round, too.
Really??
What 3rd round talent do we have that is useful? And by useful, I hope you mean able to line up. Because losing 27 of 28 games is not ‘useful’.
On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

Why do you consider the picks
that WE have had in the past ?
You can get talent in the draft.
You just need a good FO. A thing we have had for only two seasons.
A little luck also can help… (see Brady in the 6th round)

GO RAMS !!!
All i was trying to say
Was that the Rams knew the Chargers would be asking for some pricey stuff.
That was obvious. I don’t believe they suddenly changed their mind about things they already knew were going to happen.
Sam Bradford drops back, sees Laurent Robinson in the open, and he completes the pass for a gain of 28! Oh- Wait, looks like a holding penalty is going to call this one back...(Oh wait; Barron's gone, ignore that last sentence).
the price could change
If the chargers know they only get a 3rd round conditional if he is not traded, they may be willing to accept less than their original asking price. VJ nowing has a FULL understanding of his crappy perdicament may also be will to accept less just to get out of SD. This oppertunity isn’t over till he signs and yes we need his talent. I’d say trade 1 pick now and sign him long term or its gonna cost much more when he is a FA. Either way, we all know we need his talent.

Seeing the team in person raised my opinion of them. You should go to the game.
Seriously. By a ticket and just go. See them up close, see the effort, scream at them that you’re behind them. You miss a lot on TV, and its easy to oversimplfy a loss.
Only reason you went to the game was to see the Raiders like you do for all there home games
So please
I go to the Rams at 49ers games too. Want to meet me there??
OK, look — I haven’t addressed anything to you or even about you in months but now you’re going out of your way just to write ignorant, non-football personal related shit like this on my comments….third time in as many days..
I have left you alone, and now no one wants to read you going to every Connors comment to talk shit if you have nothing Rams football related to say, Thats not what this place is about.
If you continue initiating your petty personal shit you’re going to get run, so stay in your lane.

Oh ok ill stay in my lane so i dont get "run" lol ha ha ha you a funny man
I remember what I said to you in responding to your post and as I remember it was football related ,I only said that if you think we cant pass deep because we don’t have Avery you are wrong,so don’t go making up things like a drama queen and putting words in my mouth ,thank you.By the way even if I could come to the SF Rams game I would not want to meet you there because you don’t sound like a very nice person lol
ps. oh about the coment on your spelling you have done the same to me i can’t check your spelling for you thats your job
Brady
How long do we have to look at Professor Tom Brady at the top of the screen?
He’s scaring my dog Howie, every time I pull up the TST.
