Sando also discusses a conversation that he had with Scout Inc.’s Matt Williamson on the situation in which Williamson questions whether it would be a good idea to add Moss to the Rams’ locker room. “As for adding him to that Rams’ locker room, you are closer to that situation than I am, but it seems to me that it wouldn’t be such a hot idea. Does Moss make the Rams a Super Bowl contender this season? I don’t think so.” I don’t want to sound ridiculous here, but if the Rams got the Randy Moss from a few years ago, I do believe they would be a legit playoff contender, and we all know anything can happen when you get to the playoffs.

The question then is: What does Moss have left in the tank? It’s common knowledge that Moss is pretty much only good for one thing: Playing outside the numbers and going deep. It looked during last season that he has lost at least a step, hurting his ability to be a major deep threat. If he can’t give the Rams that threat, then there’s certainly no use for him here. Then, if you add in the off-the-field stuff, it seems like a risk that has very limited upside. I’m still of the belief that the team should and will take a pass on Moss, b

I’ve been hearing plenty of good things about Rams’ rookie wide receiver Mardy Gilyard over the past few days, and it got me thinking. Danario Alexander will be out again this week, so that means the Rams are in need of a wide out who can stretch the field a bit on Sunday when they take on the 49ers. I think Gilyard has the explosiveness to play that role, but thus far he hasn’t shown me or anyone else that he is ready to play at the NFL level yet. Brian Stull has been reporting that Gilyard has looked great this week in practice and that his “swag” is back, and as much as I want to see him succeed, I just don’t know if he is ready yet. If he comes out on Sunday and makes a couple of nice plays down the field, or if anyone does it for that matter, I think it could be the difference in the game. Keep an eye on number 81 Sunday afternoon when the Rams and Niners battle in an NFC West showdown.

Injury Report: Mostly good news here, although Alexander and James Butler have officially been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Other than that, it looks like pretty much everyone will be able to go. Na’il Diggs and Rodger Saffold missed some practice time yesterday, but both should be fine for the weekend. Fendi Onobun is getting healthier, but I would suspect he might be inactive again this week, as he is still experiencing some pain in his back.
