"Locke Out"

by VTramsFan on Jul 26, 2011 9:56 AM CDT in Preseason

With the NFL doors now open and UDFA signings underway, most Rams fans had their eyes on Derrick Locke, RB from Kentucky.

No question the Rams needed a change of pace back and although Locke lacked the ideal size for a prototypical back, he would compliment Jackson well in McDaniel's system as he has the quickness and hands that could compliment the attack well.

For those questioning his size, ask Woodhead in New England if size matters. Or perhaps our own Danny Amendola (WR).

However, it doesn't matter now, as Locke announced (officially, unofficially?) on his Facebook page that he is signing with the Vikings by way of a pic of himself wearing a Vikings tee-shirt and cap.

The Vikings? Really? With AP in Minnesota one has to wonder why he would make this choice unless he likes riding pine.

We'll see how it plays out as a backup RB has to be #1 priority. Let the games begin!

This is ridiculous

I thought that this would be the year where the rams would start to get respect in free agency. With an even playing field, Locke is going out of his way to go to a team that in no way needs him instead of a destination where he would get carries. Guess it will take another year of victories and a playoff birth to prove this is where to go.

Have fun getting cut, Derrick!
