The St. Louis Rams are in the news again. What now?
Nothing ever happens on a Tuesday in the NFL, at least not this late in the season, right? Maybe. Last year at this time Josh McDaniels got the axe in Denver. Last Tuesday, the Jacksonville Jaguars eighty-sixed their head coach, Jack Del Rio. Will the guillotine fall anywhere else in the NFL today? Probably not. St. Louis Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo is safe for another week at least.
How about a hot, steamy plate of Tuesday morning links? Yes!
Even more injuries mount for Rams - Besides the quarterbacks and the likelihood that Jacob Bell will become the 14th player on injured reserve, the Rams have plenty of other injuries. Fred Robbins has a sore back. Adam Goldberg will undergo an MRI on his ribs, and Gary Gibson is getting checked out for the symptoms of an ulcer. The Rams are ulcer inducing.
Rams might go with Plan C at quarterback - If only the Rams still had quarterback Thaddeus Lewis. Of course, Lewis would have been unlikely to do much for this offense, but at least his mobility could have helped a left over offensive line.
Silver linings: Rams vs. 49ers - Sando had to really stretch to find any silver linings for the Rams in this week's game. When another week for Bradford to heal his ankle is one of the high points, you know the team is sunk.
NFL coaching rumors - Despite the win last night, Norv Turner is done in San Diego. His replacement, however, is contingent upon whether or not the Chargers fire general manager A.J. Smith, who has had some power struggles with his coaches in the past, including Bill Cowher's mentor Marty Schottenheimer.
One year ago today... - One year ago today the Denver Broncos fired head coach Josh McDaniels. Some of McDaniels' draft picks are doing well in Denver. Besides you-know-who, Eric Decker, G Zane Beadles, C J.C. Walton, and even Demaryius Thomas showed up last week. His 2009 draft class leaves a little to be desired though.

Are we for sure?
Spags is safe?. Ans I wish we had lewis back to he out played feely in the preseason. Anotheer bad cut for the rams. But I hear good things about this young kid set to start at qb. Anythings better than feely was last week. But the rams need to draft a tall speedy wideout

Hey, just a thought
Have you noticed every draft pick still with the Broncos is starting to come around? It’s not a good success rate, but it’s better than Devaney’s. Gives me hope for Pettis and Salas and Kendricks

Anyone picked in the top 4 rounds will eventually come around if given a couple or 3 years.
Well most anyone, but that doesn’t mean they were the right picks. It just means they weren’t total losses.

well
Sales is 4 sure a good pick petis is showing good promise. But kendricks idk he seems like he got everything but just can’t put it all together

Demaryius Thomas same way
He’s coming around

could it be that some players take longer..
to show good return?!
Is it possible not everyone will start their career’s well.
Could it be that we as fans tend to give up on players too quickly?
surely not..

Which would make sense when you consider he only had 4 months to prepare for it.

Wat s that sayin about weekest link ?

That's a cop out
Piss poor excuse for the way things went. You don’t consider yourself qualified to take over the reins of a franchise and then fail to inform yourself as to the best people to bring in. It’s not like he had to completely familiarize himself with the players or the process. What was so important that he couldn’t make sure all his ducks were in a row? I’m sorry I remember hearing that excuse before the draft even happened and I didn’t like the sound of it then, and I still think it’s crap. We got JL and that’s about it. Maybe BFB will come around, maybe Jason Smith will miraculously heal after undergoing a position change and salary reduction. I’m thinkin ……NOT
