Hungry fans have plenty of NFL free agent rumors to feed on after missing out on February's free agent theater. After announcing deals with G Harvey Dahl and LB Zac Diles, the St. Louis Rams are again the subject of more rumors, this time connecting them with Plaxico Burress.
According to John Clayton on Sports Center, Burress "might" have a sit down with the Rams and Eagles, in addition to visits with the Steelers and Giants. Like a zombie, nothing kills talk about the Rams and Burress. Maybe there really is something to it. There have been vapor trails between the Rams and a couple other free agent bit-part wide receivers. It also could be more evidence of negotiations playing out through the media. Be smart fans, smart news consumers, do not take everything you hear at face value.
As for Mark Clayton, there's much hand wringing that things have been so quiet about a contract that was almost done prior to the lockout. As we noted earlier this week, Howard Blazer of ESPN 101 said that "it will be done." There's no reason to think it won't happen still. Remember, unrestricted free agents, including those from the team's previous year's roster, can't visit, take physicals, try out or sign a contract until 5 p.m. Central.

Fendi weighed in at 261 lbs
Completely unrelated, but hes even bigger now, better for blocking, and harder to bring down. Impact player.
Onobun > Gates
Kendricks and Hoowanamanui are in
Who do we keep out of (my guesses):
Onubun (PS or cut)
Bajema (#3 blocking TE)
Fells (signs elsewhere)
Oordt (PS or cut)
To me, we’ll keep 4 and the battle is between Fendi and Schuyer for the last spot. The other get PS’d.
Maybe Fendi can play special teams?
That’d be of some worth for a great athlete.
The truth is always the right answer....

He played well on ST last year
A lot of desire in this guy, I think he’ll do work this year.
http://brotherspork.wordpress.com/
He worked hard on his hands (a football ain't round) and cuts all off-season
And if rumors are correct, he’s now the fastest TE we have, especially in the first 10 yards. He just might make the cut this year-
The Rams stll have a few big moves to make
Here’s to hoping they get made.
The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

Maybe Clayton and the Rams already have a deal but didn't get to sign it before the lockout?
And so there’s nothing to mention because it’s already a done deal.
The truth is always the right answer....

Clayton we need. Plax we shouldn't even be discussing. lol at 4-pillars.

Can somebody here tell me what the 4 pillars exactly are?
I know character, team first, and core values are three of them, but what’s the last one?
Al Harris
Free agent Al Harris is in St. Louis talking to the Rams, a source tells Geoff Mosher of the Wilmington News Journal.
We thought that Harris’ career might be over as he turned 37 in January and has been unable to stay healthy over the last couple years. But the Rams are coached by Steve Spagnuolo, who coached Harris in Philadelphia from 1999-2003. Spags may take a flier.
Harris is done for.
We got better CB’s anyway.

Depth at corner is important though.
Could happen….

Wow DRC and Nmandi? WOW...
thats all I can say, wow.
well that
and Vick scares me
I like to think of Jeff Teague as our secret weapon..... so secret that the Atlanta coaches have no idea who he is.
Upon hearing that the nfl lockout was over, I faced in the general direction of Seattle and gave them the finger. GO RAMS
We're gonna start 0-1
And that is not gonna be a sign of us

I wouldnt necessarily saw we would lose to them. Any team could win any week, especially week 1
with a short off season. Def. makes that game ALOT tougher tho.
Well I'm glad TE's get covered normally by LB's
Nnamdi is more then welcome to match up against Hooma though.

I don't see how that is very good
I should be working right now...
Camp body and vet.
As a dime back he has value, and if he proves that he is done in pre season it’s not like he’s gonna kill cap room.
I don’t think he makes the team but he was a he’ll of a player back in the day

Woooooooow
Eagles are fuckin stacked.
I retract the comments about eagles falling off.
If they get VY to back up Vick… Damn.
Nasty roster
http://brotherspork.wordpress.com/
Eagles could be the team to beat in the NFC
how do you pass against them? How do you stop their passing attack? These are tough questions.
How's their run defense? How's their run game?
What if last year was a fluke for the murderer and he goes back to how he was in Atlanta?
Run game isn't too bad
Shady McCoy, Noel Devine.
Run D? Still short of 3 lbs and 2 safeties lol
Helllllooooo sjax. Nnamdi is a good tackler too :/
http://brotherspork.wordpress.com/
Not sold on Devine
in the NFL. McCoy is a stud though. Has been since Pitt.

How are their linebackers?
Will those guys be able to cover Hoom’ and Kendricks? Can they even contain Steven on the ground or air? Our offense is pretty much built to create mismatches with their linebackers and safeties.
Think those are their weak spots.

“49ers, playing in division with Fitzgerald, Sidney Rice and rejuvenated Mike Williams, plus Bradford, need CB help. Asante Samuel available?”
Yea, 9ers need some definite help lol

Well Dahl, Diles and Mikell filled gaping holes.
But really still need a DT, RB and another OLB. And I’d love a true #1 WR. Can’t have everything I guess…
+1

We were 7-9 last year with a shit offense
I think Josh McD will be the biggest signing this offseason. I really see this offense coming alive and helping the defense win games this year.
"Doin' blow off a strippers nipple" -VanRam
I don't think Diles is starter material
and neither do the genius’s in the Rams FO they only gave the guy a one year contract, sounds like a seat filler to me, that says special teamer all over.
It sounds
like someone they think can be a starter but will have to prove himself if he wants to stay longer than a year. He was an up-and-coming all pro linebacker two years ago (his coaches words) before having his worst season in coverage last year (nagging injuries as well). He needs a bounce back season.

I just want Snelling

I'd rather have Harrison
He can break away, Snelling can’t and Jackson doesn’t do it often.
and a DT

- And here's the Rams' 2010 season in a series. Incomplete pass, 18-yard run, incomplete pass, 7-yard run, 5-yard pass, 3-yard run, sack, incomplete pass, punt. Shoot me. - 3K
Well that sucks!
