Danny Amendola Injury: How Will the Rams Replace Amendola?

in 2011 NFL regular season

Even against the backdrop of a palindromic 31-13 drubbing, the St. Louis Rams' biggest loss came in the second half when reliable receiver - reliability being something that was lacking among that group - Danny Amendola dislocated his elbow. Sam Bradford's top target might be finished for the year, but the Rams will not know that for another day or so.
Either way, Amendola figures to be out for awhile and the Rams need to consider a means of replacing him, especially his role in the slot and on those shorter to middle level routes QV Sam Bradford counts on him to make.
The most obvious answer are the rookies, Greg Salas and Austin Pettis. The later did not dress today, Salas dropped an ugly pass as the Rams spiraled into hopelessness.
Mark Clayton is stashed on the PUP list until at least week seven. Too bad. The Rams really, really could have used him today.
It is necessary to pose the question as to whether or not the free agent market makes sense for the Rams. Already, they have their eyes on available cornerbacks, and we got a reminder how thin their depth is at that position today.
Adam Caplan of Sirius suggested Brandon Stokley as an option. Of course, Stokley was on the bubble with the Broncos last year before McDaniels released him. He is 35-years-old. The most popular options on Twitter today seemed to be Randy Moss or some of the other also-rans. Maybe. Obviously, he's a different player than Amendola, so it would be an adjustment. Don't forget that the Rams brought in former Falcon Brian Finneran. I'm not endorsing the idea, but it is something to be aware of as the Rams look for receiver help.

At the end, the villian gets in a car wreck and has a compound fracture of his arm. A couple kids on bikes ride up to him, and one says “Hey mister, you alright? You have a bone sticking out of your arm.” …..second later, kid says again, “Look at that fuckin’ bone…”
I don’t know why, but this just reminded me of that a lot. So there ya go.

Just need a healthy dose of
Salad and Lettis
Sam Bradford to Mike Sims-Walker
Kinda has a ring to it
like i said before...
i wouldnt mind looking at randy moss, thing is, he is hell bent on playing for the pats,and only the pats. i light up at the possibilities of seeing moss going down the sidelines, or over the middle, and MAKING, the catch! but!…
i cringe at the thought of moss mailing it in, if the rams are losing, then start some sort of b.s. to get him kicked off the team. its a catch 22.
I watched him do that in Oakland
its a terrible feeling. I always (always) had the distinct feeling he could do anything he wanted, at any time. And he never wanted.

for a player like moss, a freak! like moss, to play like he did...

still think its worth the risk---front office screwed us with this not ready for prime time crew...and in their defense they are still still learning
but as pros you have to catch the ball..not 7 dropped passes…moss is worth the risk
oh man that pic makes me queasy

Gibs should be gone after his performance today. He just can’t play on gameday. Blackmon and Broyles is the best solution in the long run. Get Sam TALENTED young receivers he can grow with

Good take
This receivers crop are just like last years. No down field speed. We can not afford to wait for Clayton and he is only one man. Poor Bradford, He do not have good receivers to throw the ball to.
1 gm into the season and already looking at the long run?
the rams need help now! this team can still compete if! they had good or even desent reciever’s. the season barley started, and yes, im with 99.99% of the rest of rams nation saying that the rams wr’s suck! but im not looking already to next yrs draft, im looking for help like 12 hrs ago!
I'd rather get the high pick
Then be stuck in mediocrity. Getting stuck in mediocrity is a death kiss. And I don’t see this team being a factor in the playoffs

thank you --finally someone on the same page who wants to be a 500 team this year
and have some fun sundays
I hear that...
Laurent Robinson, Mardy Gilyard, Stonehands McMichaels, Donnie Avery, Keenum Burton and Fendi Onobun aren’t working anywhere. Can’t understand why…
Hey
Didn’t we draft 2 WR’s with the same skill set as Amendola. Shouldn’t one of them become an easy replacement.
Oh, wait, Petis, does not appear game ready. And Salas looks like he may have a hard time finding the 1st down marker.
Nice 3rd and 4th round picks by the way.

DON’T WE TEACH THEM TO FIND THE MARKERS OR SHOULD THEY KNOW THIS
Marty is in New York
Avery has a 600,000 dollars contract the rams are paying him after the cut. He was coming around in the preseason. He was their only true down field speed.
Ummm once more...

It'll probably be Salas
Hopefully they’ll get chewed out and the rookies will not drop the ball next week.
Would’ve been much more competitive if they just held onto the ball.
It was really unexpected, for me anyway, the way they dropped so many
I mean even rookies, even in a new system that they aren’t comfortable with, even in a lockout shortened pre-season…..it was really out of line with my expectations. I don’t think it will continue to be this bad, I really can’t imagine it could.

Cadillac looked really god but I hope s jax will be back next week and I think caddilac was our leading receiver, that should never happen

Gibs also had like 3 drops
by King Sam Rules! on Sep 11, 2011 8:35 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
And we need Bradford to play better than, say, Rex Grossman
Sam missed a wide open Amendola that would’ve been a sure TD. And that was immediately after another bad pass.

No, I'm sayin....he had a good game, we need at least that from Sam next week
I bought a Ryan Fitzpatrick autographed Rams mini helmet a few years back. Cost me $10 on ebay. Cost of mini helmet, new in the box? $15. That’s right, Fitz lowered the value of the helmet by 30% by signing it. I still have it though!

ur exactly right half of the drops werent are receivers fault most of em were inaccurate shtity passes
The drops hit the receivers in the hand.
Marshall himself said that in football, receivers know that they’re supposed to make those catches.

agreed douchie, thats what separates the men from the boys...
you think someone like larry fitz would go down like that? overthrown, underthrown, whatever, that guy would make it a point to get his hands on the ball. the rams wr’s had the old “deer in the headlights”, syndome going on. there is no excuse for what the rams kept from last yr (wr), and didnt capitalize on an upgrade(s).
by Mark Jaramillo on Sep 12, 2011 8:54 AM CDT up reply actions
How do you know he had to ask Bradford on what route to run?
WRs and QBs communicate all the time on what the DBs are doing. You don’t think this is probably much more likely what was being said?

Msw
I was at the game and watched Msw come onto the field and talked to Bradford then went out to the right a little ways and and went back to the left and then Sam stepped up and told him what to do in a little 2 man huddle, and he had his hands up and just looked like he didn’t know the play, and I saw this a couple of times

we might have the worst receiving problem i've ever seen since i've followed football
even really poor teams complete 20 yard passes ,,,and sam looks bad also
Sam looked bad because
the damn o-line let everyone come in and hit him. Our whole line was getting pushed back into Sam by the little green men.
And then not to mention
6 drop damn balls, if these we chicks they’d have been dumped!

I dont think the rookies are that bad...
most of the drops were gibson and one by amendola. kendricks dropped two but did okay afterwards and salas dropped his only catch which i dont think was a good throw but correct me if i am wrong. If austin can get over his nerves then he can replace gibson or do rotation with DX, salas replaces amendola. If our wr corps does not produce against NYG, with all their corner problems then kiss the season buy.

In fact I believe if we meet the, raffles again in the playoffs it will be a win. As for danny we can always bring newest back if he looks like he’s done for the year, but I believed we carried extra receivers in case of injury and we just need to do what good teams do make adjustments

i'm still optimistic about this team
one game against a real good team and a lot of you are ready to throw in the towel. how long have you all been watching football? you act like it is a 2 game season. pitt was in the sb last year and got clobbered by a division rival. i do not think they are giving up on the season yet.
our offense bogged which accounted for the lopsided score as the d grew tired. they played well until late even with magic feet back there. eli is not very mobile and i look for the d to feast on him next week.
I have to scroll
down right away to avoid that picture… Are there any disgruntled receivers out there? Ones that will actually make a difference, I don’t want to just bring in anybody, that’s panicking and a waste of money. It needs to be someone like Vincent Jackson.

salas -kendricks-gibson
makes you long for avery and dx—-can’t believe they play that bad on a pro level
amendolas great
but he should never be a #1 receiver on any team …thats not his responsibility
so one game
and you sign off the receivers as same old same old? gibson maybe cause he was doing it last year. the rest will play better. give it time the season is not over. we knew the first few weeks would be brutal just by looking at the schedule. but we will win and build momentum. believe it.
Avery
is the logical choice but the fence might not be able to be mended. He was in the system so would take less time to learn.
thats logical
but in the magical mystical world of ramdom ….common sense makes no sense ….he won’t be back
I hope they bring him back

i say
that is a good option. he did well in pre. not sure why so many here are down on him. how many passes did he drop?
well...
i do not have a lot of confidence in a lot of these guys opinions after reading some of these comments. i doubt any of them ever met him much less talked to him. from what i gathered it was a very close decision to let him go over dx. dx being a larger target maybe being a deciding factor.
No one has signed him
He is not good

that means nothing
he was fine his first two years. got hurt and all of a sudden can’t play? i don’t get your kind. he played as well as any wide out in pre season.
In case you hadn't noticed
Kendricks looks good in pre season, and so did the line. Avery was playing against back ups. Ge isnt good just cause he can run fast

games —-should there be some concern…not sharp at all
Yes
I’d like to trade him. Cam Newton looked good today. Whatta ya think swirb……maybe we try to get him?

you are right ---why doesn't he roll out more early to midseason he did last year
and had some good results…our o line sucked as well …whats with quinn
He had plays
designed to roll him out last year. People took that away as the year went on. Quinn isn’t on our o-line, that’s what’s up.

Was it just me?
Or did Bradford have bad body language all game. He never had any swagger, looked defeated from the 1st quarter. I guess when mcdaniels game plan was to not throw at any of the corners and you don’t even dress dx it had to take some of his confidence away.
by RammaLammaDingDong on Sep 11, 2011 10:57 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I think at some point he has started to hold the ball to long
Because he wants a better option than to throw to Gibson. He needs WR ’s he can trust

i think you are right --he's hoping for mor open yards and some hands ---thats why he clicked with clayton
so quickly last year
You think
Well Gibson’s open, but that’d be a waste of a throw. Oh, Shit, Jason Babin just raped my asshole! Fuck you Jason Smith!"

Yep.
He was more pissed that he missed that throw to Danny than anything else. There will be a certain point in this season that he will act like that if it keeps up, but I highly doubt our o-line continues to play that bad and we only play one secondary that rivals the Eagles from here out, the Packers.

I, unfortunately, didnt get to see the same
but I TIVO’d it………….and that literally happened as you posted it. Unacceptable ‘blocking’……
He needs real receivers
When we had Clayton he would lock onto him as well. Cause from practically day one he hasn’t bothered trusting these guys. You start getting downtrodden when you know that Gibson will drop it no matter how great a pass you throw

no ---but he really hasn't played well in the last 5 games --look at the last stats from the last
4 teams last year—-not good teams either…i’ know he’s handicapped with what he has to work with but its just a fact
i know sams a great professional team player but if this fiasco
continues all season at what point does his frustration start to show
Bradford's been pretty poised and confident
I think he’ll be fine, but I suppose everyone has his breaking point.

and a game that we shouldn’t have won. Pure optimism, buddy. The Eagles are solid and will contend this year….
I seriously doubt that Steelers fans are freaking out, even though that they got their asses handed to them today by their divisional rivals
gotta run

Gibson, needs to be benched. On 3rd & 7 he as usual goes one yard shy of whats needed for a first. He just can’t learn, did that all last season. Williams is as good as Jackson, maybe better, we are ok there. New OF coach and except for screen passes, same ol dink and dunk. By the way has any one else noticed it takes our receivers just as long to do the five yard stuff, as other teams go forty yards down field. Also if the end of last season and this game is any example, SAM has totally lost his accuracy, which does not matter cause we cannot catch. Even after all this we are in the game for 3+ qtrs, just made the same critical errors this team has always made, going back to the days of John Arnette. (Yes I know cause I have been following them even longer than that.) Than GOD for Warner, and Faulk, or I know there would be no Hope.
GO
AWAY.

I dont know that I've heard anyone question Sam this entire pre/offseason
And now today, everyone thinks he blows. It’s as if everyone had an opinion that they were too sackless to express
no i just think that it his lack of support will eventually take its toll on him he is still very young
but can’t do it himself—-your the only one who even mentioned he blows in the same sentence
I'll operate under the assumption that you don't know how to hit the 'reply' button
and therefore you’re talking to me. So, if you can read, please go back through these posts from tonight (specifically the one I responded to where Sam was said to have ‘totally lost accuracy.’
….I’m sure there are other Sam bashers/doubters that you’ll find
i'm not doubting /bashing ---but as a career developes you sometimes cannot rise to great heights
when your talent is inferior…..look at marino —as good as they come-never saw a super bowel game…GET SAM SOME FREAKIN HELP NOW
i'm telling--and its to early to jump the gun -----
but a few more losing years and the rams will be back playing in sunny southern california and then this whole build for the future /wait til next years draft will bullshit will really have angered st louis fans ….as for me the coasts fine…saw them play inanaheim many times then you’ll see woe smart devaneys overthought plan is
decent qb --great back--2 solid receivers---above average defense ---thats the secret
don’t need to make things so complicated
maybe avery since i told all of u that gibson is shit during game day, how recptions did our Wrs have even with danny , we need avery back but u retards didnt wanna believe gibson is a practice player
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
Gibson was our only open threat all game.
Cutting him makes our bad situation worse.

does not help to get open
if you forget to catch the ball.
It helps to get open
so that Sam doesn’t stand there waiting an extra 3 seconds waiting for someone else to get open. He gave Sam a target, other receivers were getting Sam killed with coverage sacks.

Did some idiot actually say that Bradford hasn't played well?
I’m so sick of stupid fans who don’t understand that a QB is only as good as his offensive line and especially his receivers. Bradford would have had close to 300 yards today if it weren’t for 6 horrifyingly bad drops. I mean horrific drops. So bad that I actually got sick watching from my seat at the game. I couldn’t believe NFL receivers could drop passes like that.
Bradford was the only player on offense that kept this shitty train on track. He was hitting guys in the hands. The Kendricks dropped TD puts us in the game and makes the score 17-20. The Salas drop was so bad I actually laughed out loud at the disgrace of it all. I mean, the game was solely on the receivers being shit. The fucking fans actually started to BOO the receivers. I have never seen fans boo a particular group of players.

thank man, believe me I want nothing but the absolute best for the Rams. I love this team, I have a vested interest in them. I spend my pay check on them and put time into learning about them as much as I can. I loved the Bradford pick and I loved the direction of this team. So I might be hard on people, but it’s because I want this team to get back to being brand fans can respect and be proud of. And today had tones of 2005, when there was some potential there but reeked of mediocrity. I can’t go through another drought of shit. I just can’t do it again.

its hard to look good when your getting no help
M-V-TEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Upon hearing that the nfl lockout was over, I faced in the general direction of Seattle and gave them the finger. GO RAMS
Follow me at @Th3_Prophet
THANK YOU!
I don’t get it either. Maybe its because I was at the game also, but besides three plays, Sam played great to me. We catch those drops, and Steven doesn’t get injured, and we are right in this game.
Most definitely
I think you get a different perspective from the game than on TV, because no one was blaming Bradford and saying anything negative about him, actually people were rallying around him when he was leading a terrible group of receivers, a back up RB and a weak offensive line down the field.
And you’re right, with Jackson healthy and if Kendricks catches the easy pass for a TD and the receivers make just 2 of those 5 other drops we’re in this game. We went into half time 13-17. We were in it. Those drops though were so bad they might as well have been turnovers. That’s how demoralizing they were.
You know your usually a troll around here
Whole SJAX thing ya know( looked good when healthy didn’t he?)
but I couldn’t agree more Bradford was tremendous IMO he took his shots and got back up he did the best he could with little time and by god when he stepped up the ball was on target the receivers simply could not catch the ball
DaFranchize
After reading your post I watched the game again and the only thing I could disagree with you on is Caddy was another offensive player that helped keep the train on track. Caddy really stepped up as well.
To be fair, Sam also cost them a TD with a bad throw
Amendola was wide open and Sam just plain blew he throw. Should’ve been an easy pass for a guy with his mechanics and he misjudged it.
I’m not saying Sam cost them the game, or even that his performance sunk to the level of the Wides, just that he had his own bad plays that cost them certain points. You expect the WRs to catch a ball in th hands, you expect a QB to hit a wide open guy only 10 yards away, but it was just that kind of game.
Unlike some guys, I have all the confidence in the world they’ll all look a hellof lot better next week, especially Kendricks. This team needed a good hands TE as its highest priority on Offense and now that they have it, its going to make a huge difference. Rooks just have to settle down.

uuugh! pls franchize dont bring that up again pls! lol
like i mentioned above. to come back a yr later, with no significant upgrade at wr, to not even LOOK at any of the free agents that were available, i cringe everytime i write something about it. thats not even fair to bradford. plax, and braylon were there fro the taking, and freakin devaney just shrugged them off. i really dont care if i do get flack for this, but its the truth….
the rams F.O. just sat on there freakin hands when free agency started. they just stood back and watched, as wr’s like santonio holmes, sidney rice, braylon edwards, plaxico burris, and (sigh), vincent jackson, all got snapped up, either res-igned to there own teams or went elswere. all those wr’s!!! and you did nothing!
i would have rather seen the F.O. spend that $28 mil on one of those guys instead of quinten mikell to tell you the truth. and the sad thing is, with danny down. there nobody out there on the waiver wire…NOBODY! bottom line guys, the rams F.O. chose to stick with the wr’s from last yr, and it bit them in the ass! bigtime. now there stuck with them. im still pissed off from yesterday.

Give me Moss
I know the man can still play at a high level, we can use the vet experience and downfield speed. Right now, this WR corp is a mess. Salas/Pettis also needs to step up.
Austin Pettis...show me what I've seen from you all those years in Boise St.
You can have Chad Hall off the Eagles practice squad. He is a Danny Amendola clone, only more blonde. He roasted the Dallas secondary in week 17 and he just has a knack for getting open.
My Eagles Blog: Iggles Nest
Follow @IgglesNest
wondering if the fo is congratulating themselved
on their wonderfull signing this morning——anyone know how many catches rice/plaxico had combined past 10 yards
week 1
im not coming out saying we looked impressive by No means but we did just play a pretty good team, im sure are game plan involved SJ who got hurt early. Im going to give it a couple weeks.
Seriously, this ain't as bad as it could have been.
I remember that Joe Theismann injury that ended his career. That one was sick. Willis McGahee when he was playing the college football national championship game, having his leg broken and flopping around… sick. Seeing Steve Young’s career ending injury in person… sick. Danny should at least be able to play next season. I don’t think its going to be a go for him the rest of this one.
