St. Louis Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo gets behind the podium at 3:00 p.m. Central today for his day-after press conference at Rams Park. Sitting with a very disappointing 0-4 record, the coach has some real questions to answer. We pitched a few questions earlier today.
For those of you new to the experience, the press conference starts off with an update on the injuries. We expect to have some news about wide receiver Danny Amendola. He is likely headed for surgery to fix a triceps injury related to his dislocated elbow. Hopefully someone will ask whether or not the Rams pushed Amendola back into service too soon. Jacob Bell's hamstring is also a concern.
Those concerns are all minor compared the Rams utter failure to produce much of anything on the field. Every week, more penalties, more dropped passes, and more disturbingly, an apparent lack of leadership on the team.
You can watch the presser live right here. Typically, the streaming video is choppy and difficult to listen too, probably the result of the franchise's digital investment being tied up in the offensive line...kidding.
Listen and discuss right here.

LMAO
Spags asked a reporter if he caught the cardinals game, and that he was too tired. Reporter (Jim Thomas STLSD): ugh no i was watching the football game…
oh my goodness… this guy is eerily upbeat.
"I'm not gonna go in terms of regress"
Well coach, honestly you may not be, but your team is.

i think a new strategy for the opponents
is punt on first down and recover the fumble by pettis.

We can counter this
by simply telling Austin he has the right to call for a fair catch…
"For Better or for Worse; 'Till Death Do Us Part"
GO RAMS !!!
Sounds like the same ol' bullshit he comes out with after every game...
By the posts on here – can’t view the stream, so anyone who can fill me in, much appreciated
he's passive at the podium
but he’s never pressed by the media. It’s the same old BS, but no one calls him out on it.

can't hear much but his demeanor is wrong
He should not sound like every thing is a matter of circumstances. There’s fault to be found, and he needs to do it. I’m not expecting names in public, but I was expecting a lot more frustration.

His charisma to everyone especially the reporters just overshadows all of the shortcomings of the coaches, its unbelievable. Its like wanting to yell at someone for something stupid , but they rationlize so well that you think to yourself wow, i shouldnt be so mad. Then after the fact your like shit, that bastard tricked me! lol!
"short passes are fine, but we need to try and eliminate the 3rd and longs"

His excuse is that its their first time playing
Then how does he explain the rookies of other teams making plays?

to be fair
I understood his point. He’s talking about overgeneralizing it instead of the classic coaching aspects – pin and tuck, corner cubby, stuff like that.
What I don’t understand as why those aren’t working.

Wrong
Defense dropped 2 yesterday. The WRs must have went to the Ron Bartell school of catching.
how many did the O drop? 8?

I trust that sam is mentally tough
that will really help him when clay matthews is rapping him. spags you are dumb
You know what im hoping for his safety sam is not played until the line can show it can protect a QB.

When he told the reporters how much time the team would have off, why didn't the place go nuts??
With all the problems, the time off would be close to the off season prep time they had this year. Instead he says it will be “business as usual…” when they return to practice?
Did he learn anything from Tom Coughlin?

So why cant he say “Catch the DAMN BALL!!!” to his players.? I mean have they never caught a ball before the NFL?

he really doesn’t express any sense of urgency in his tone when ever I see him address the media or his players

wtf..
Sam is NOT going to make it thru all 16 games taking the abuse that he has already and were only in WEEK 4… am I the only one that it pisses of that when asked about it Spags just reply’s “hes tough” …? If you ask me that’s not protecting your ‘franchise QB’ investment ?? Am I wrong here??

just a note, and I'll be writing a longer piece on this this week
Don’t get your hopes up too high about the Rams being able to trade their first round pick for Andrew Luck. Unless everything falls into place, it will be someone else who gets to trade their pick. Especially if we’re #1 overall…

Off Topic
but i wish he had one of those hands on Owners. Like the ones that are seen on the sidelines cheering, hugging the players, or the ones in the press boxes jumpin for joy when the team scores the winning TD. I feel like thats an important piece missing from our team.You want the owner to be the biggest fan of the team, not some guy that wants to turn a profit…
i don't want al davis or dan snyder as our owners

at least i would expect some of them to say j screamed and yelled this would happen but he was right
trust me these rams sicken me
they blasted you because you blasted them
I went back a while back and read all the threads and just like this comment, it was you who did the provoking. So let’s just scratch it now. There’s nothing wrong with having any opinion, but trying to incite people and drag them into a childish name-calling fight isn’t worth the time or energy it takes to type.

90% of your comments before the season just didnt make sense...
and still dont. What are you wanting? A cookie? Nothing you said would have helped this team. In fact your idea’s would have probably made this team worse off. One “big name” 35+ year old WR would not have helped this team and would have probably caused alot of problems in the locker room. Do you see T.O. or Moss playing anywhere right now? No.
trust me i would have spent 100 million in a much better manor...and yes
plaxico moss etc would have helped some …..haven’t you been watching the games
our 2010 rams were a lucky team because of the schedule
we haphazardley tried to improve ourselves with street ffree agents
the results speak for themselves
and others on this blog are as outraged as i am and saying so
and yea jp you can send me a cookie but it won't stop me from being the
watchdog of the fo……as far as spags ..thats beyond repair
the only thing unproductive is the team we root for haven't you noticed
the others statements
god i wish we had VJax or Megatron :(

I was basically laughing at the game yesterday
cause it was horrible. And was rooting random teams, like not the steelers.
Had one good joke, Big Ben got sacked, they showed the replay, the steeler fans were super annoying, I turned around and said “That reminds me of that time he raped a woman”
So glad they lost, I’m sure I would’ve caught so much shit.

honestly lets just trade jackson --give the guy a break-and get some picks if we can
i’m sure theirs a 500% team that would pick him up….unfortunately his presence in a st. lou uniform is over…..all teams need to do is play the rush when he’s in there they stuff him because they know our passing game isn’t there
give him a break
just go out and get a college coach --give it a try--john robinson
worked —-don’t take it the wrong way ….but we don’t need a big name coach…get someone with some enthusiasm who can come up witha different attitude…if we are gonna take our lumps…lets do it with some excitemen not this stuff,,,A COLLEGE COACH..NOW THER’S AN IDEA
it's incredibly risky
I don’t think it necessarily guarantees success or failure; like promoting a coordinator or going after a coach with a ton of experience, it depends on the individual. But no Nick Saban. ever.

My priest confirmed to me during confessional thats its not a sin to catch a football...
I’m just sayin’. FYI to Salas, Pettis, Kendricks, etc. God won’t punish you. I promise.
Why won't Pettis, Salas, and Kendicks ever need flu shots or cold medicines?
Because that would require them to ‘catch’ a cold or the flu.
Some more of that....
……..coulda, woulda shit. It boils down to piss poor coaching. This team isn’t competitive in the NFL because of it.
Stop talking about the damn future and do something now!
Why is it that bradford and jackson are pissed about being 0-4 and are even saying that people need to get called out and be held accountable and all spags does is come into his presser smiling and talk about the damn silver linings of the game?!?! guess what seeing the silver linings every week doesn’t take away the loss!!!
