Random Ramsdom 2/10: Rams close to hiring a GM?

by Brick Top on Feb 10, 2012 7:02 AM CST

Good morning!! Let's just skip the usual BS and get right to the links today. Also, sorry for the lack of links lately. The post Super Bowl and Pre Combine is a huge dead period for NFL news.

Rams down to 2 or 3 candidates for GM

According to Steve Wyche of NFL.com, the Rams have narrowed down their GM candidates to 2 or 3 finalist. Ryan had a recap of the possible finalist last night. It's safe to assume that the Rams will have a new GM in place very, very soon.

Chargers will try to resign Vincent Jackson

Jackson, who has been rumored to be of interested to the Rams, may not hit the free agent market after all. Michael Lombardi also says that VJax's preference is to stay in San Diego. He also said that the Chargers are unlikely to franchise him. He'll still likely hit the open market, but the Chargers will be just one of the many players for him.

Could Jerome Murphy have a big impact in 2012?

Now I know the Bleacher Report is usually shit, but Shane Gray is a very good quality writer covering the Rams. He actually takes the time to use correct spelling of all things and he also puts actual thought into his articles! Anyways, enough ripping on BR, read his excelling post about Murphy.

That's all for today!! Have a good one and GO RAMS!!

Murphy

I fully agree with that IF healthy the options in the secondary are impressive. As we saw this year some strength in depth would not do any harm and I don’t think this means we can ignore a talent like Claiborne or Kirkpatrick if we trade down in the draft. As the giants showed in the Super Bowl an effective secondary can keep you in / win you games.

I like Murphy’s potential. Hopefully it translates to something good on the field this season.

Murphy at safety?

I think Murphy will develop into a solid CB. However, it looks like he will fall down the depth chart if Bartell and Fletcher come back healthy. And, if we sign CF, I would almost suggest trying Murphy out at safety. I bet he could be a pro bowler at safety….

Classic

Ripping BR on grammar while including a typo in the same sentence:

“He actually takes the time to use corrected spelling of all things and also put actually though into his articles”

Courtland's no spring chicken either.

However if he stays in shape and injury free he can easily play another 5 years. Look at Darrell Green, Aeneas Williams, Champ Bailey etc. He’s worth taking a flier on.

I simply don't understand

why everyone thinks Murphy will be a solid player in 2012. When he played in 2010 he couldn’t cover anyone. His man was always running free. The only interception he got was when someone tipped a pass and it just fell into his hands. Could he mature into a decent corner? Sure. But we need to start believing our eyes and not the drumbeating from people who aren’t involved and didn’t pay much attention to him in 2010. Continuing to believe the Devaney/Spags draft picks are suddenly going to become stars just delays getting really solid players on the Rams.
