So, as you probably already know, Ryan pointed out that Rokevious Watkins showed up a bit out of shape for training camp. Big deal? Maybe not at this point. For some Rams fans, though, it's not an acceptable start to his NFL career.

There is a lot of uncertainty that surrounds the offensive line for the Rams this season, and left guard is certainly no exception. With a hint of optimism for improved results in 2012, there are fans that look for Rokevious to see his fair share of playing time, and possibly even get the majority of the starts.

That's for a serious conversation at a later date. This is about poking fun at the St. Louis Dough Boy…

Again, it's probably no big deal that Rokevious isn't in 'game shape' right now, but it will matter a lot more as the we head into August. Whether or not you agree or disagree (at least in this post) is moot. Let's hope he get's himself in shape, and is ready to impress…both the coaches and the fans.

For now, let em rip. If you've got a nickname or a punch line for our Cookie-Lovin-Rookie, I want to hear them…..or read them…..just post em!
