For the fans the writing was on the wall. The Rams have a new front office, and coaching staff, and are coming off a dreadful 2-14 2008 season. Steve Spagnuolo is going to try to make the Rams a power offensive and defensive team, and that means getting younger, stronger, faster and hungrier. Some sacrifices will have to be made for them to accomplish their goals. The Rams already said they would  not invited Pace or Holt to participate in the team’s off season strength and conditioning program which starts next week. In addition Torry Holt is already all but out the door. Put this together and you knew in your heart that Pace was on his way out. For fans this is unfair, hopefully soon the NFL will find a way to allow teams to keep their franchise stars like Orlando Pace, Brian Dawkins, etc.

The scary thing from today’s news could be what Billy Devaney had to say. Devaney on KSLG said Alex Barron will be moved from right tackle to left tackle immediately and they will take a long look at Jacob Bell, as the right tackle. OUCH, let’s hope that is the Grey Goose talking. Granted there is not much he can say at the moment, the Rams are in need of more linemen. It’s only March so let’s see what happens.

So with Pace gone, are the Rams 100% sold on a Left Tackle in the 2009 NFL Draft? Is Michael Crabtree back in the running with Torry Holt on his way out in the next week? What will the Rams do with the 14 million of cap space they will create with these cuts? What are your thoughts?

Isaac Bruce has more yards receiving than every St. Louis Rams receiver on the roster. Isaac Bruce had more yards receiving on Sunday than Marc Bulger had net yards passing today. We went out of our way to get Pittman the ball in preseason but he has 1 carry in the regular season. Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton aquired to spread the field and add speed to the Rams roster have combined for ZERO catches through two games.

Al what are you doing? On sunday we had fullbacks and two tight end sets etc. and still gave up 6 sacks. We must back off the other teams pass rush. The New York Giants had 11 guys within 10 yards of the line of scrimage on almost every player. They were never afraid of being burnt. We have 3 or 4 players in motion every play and a different set of players out there every play. That is great but you are not tricking any one with the motion or putting the best players in a place to succeed. On one play today Dante Hall was split out on one side, and Randy McMicheal on other. That was it. I don’t care if they criss-cross and do a dance nobody is going to get open on that play. Donnie Avery was finally dressed for a game and he ran back one kick off. What a great use of a roster spot. How about 3 wide with Torry Holt, Avery and Burton, with Steven Jackson in the backfield and Randy McMichael in tight to block. That gives you 7 blockers for Bulger and spreads the field for Jackson to find room to run. Open the game with smoke screen to Burton or Avery, you get Bulger a quick completion and make the defense respect your team speed. Keep it simple!

Kurt Warner had a perfect QB rating today. Sure nobody understands the rating but it is rare to achieve a perfect rating. As they pointed out today you have to go back to Jim Hart in 1975 for the last Cardinals QB to put up a perfect QB rating. Warner was 19 of 25 for 361 yards, 3 touchdowns, and a QB rating of 158.3. Perfect! Kurt Warner is still one of the most accurate QBs in the NFL. Kurt we miss you!
