My Prediction for the season

DekaJ — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:19:39 -0000

Based on the improvements and additions to the team im going to guess the outcomes of each game and the reason why

(Ignore the links)

2009 Regular Season Schedule
DATE	OPPONENT (TV BROADCAST)	TIME
Sept. 13	at Seattle Seahawks (FOX)	3:15 p.m.	W- Steven Jackson should be able to run over their defense. close score
Sept. 20	at Washington Redskins (FOX)	Noon	L-Our secondary will be picked apart by jason campbell we WONT stop the run Loss by about 10
Sept. 27	GREEN BAY PACKERS (FOX)	Noon	L- Better offense should blitz us effectively. Score: about 24-17
Oct. 4	at San Francisco 49ers (FOX)	3:15 p.m.	W- Our O-line should be able to hold up and give Bulger enough time in the pocket 10-7
Oct. 11	MINNESOTA VIKINGS (FOX)	Noon	L- Our defense probably won't stop AP. Favre( we know its gonna happen) wont make a difference. 21-7
Oct. 18	at Jacksonville Jaguars (FOX)	Noon	W- Nothing huge for our defense to stop (torry included) Defense isn't that good. Easy win. 35-20
Oct. 25	INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (CBS)	Noon	L- do i need to explain? 20-7
Nov. 1	at Detroit Lions (FOX)	Noon	W- Were about on the same level talent wise with us having a VERY slight edge 24-17
Nov. 8	BYE
Nov. 15	NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (FOX)	Noon	W- I think we can pull it off with good running by SJ and our entire offense against a lackluster defense.Might win off a late field goal.Close score 21-20
Nov. 22	ARIZONA CARDINALS (FOX)	3:05 p.m.	W- Fitzgerald can beat Bartell any day but we should be able to score on the Arizona D 30-28
Nov. 29	SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (FOX)	Noon	L- I dont see us doing it twice 24-10
Dec. 6	at Chicago Bears (FOX)	Noon	L- Cutler and Chi D should stop us. Blowout 38-6
Dec. 13	at Tennessee (FOX)	Noon	L- Excellent running game against a rather slow D. Offense should be good in spurts but not good enough.
Dec. 20	HOUSTON TEXANS (CBS)	Noon L- Andre Johnson slightly better defense 35-10
Dec. 27	at Arizona Cardinals (FOX)	3:05 p.m. L- no match for offense
Jan. 3	SAN FRANCISCO (FOX)	Noon L-tough opponent this late in the season 24-3

As you can see I see us finishing 6-10 and third in the division behind Seattle & Arizona. This is if we play well.

Brandon Marshall anyone?

DekaJ — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:28:17 -0000

Apparently, Brandon Marshall is requesting a trade.This would bring in the veteran presence the Rams need.Now some of you would probably that Spags wouldn't like him because of The four pillars stuff but hes coming offa 6 TD season and both of our starters combined for 6. He also has a big frame which we need.

He could possibly put our receiver starters (as in team with best #1 & #2 receivers) into the top 10. Marshall probably would fit into the West Coast Offense. He would be way more consistent than Avery and Burton. Maybe could be what we've been waiting for since Torry's departure. What do you think of this and why?

[Note by VanRam, 06/16/09 10:36 AM EDT ] Thanks to DekaJ for getting the discussion going here. I bumped his post to the front page, because, let's face it, this idea went through everyone's head when the news broke this weekend that Marshall requested a trade out of Denver. I think it's highly unlikely they'll trade him, but the question for Rams fans is would the high cost (i.e. no first round pick next year...and probably no third and a later round too) mean losing out on other parts of the rebuilding process by giving up picks in the 2010 draft. The discussion starts below...

What I hope B-Dev does.

DekaJ — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:30:42 -0000

The draft is in 12 days. I think its safe to say no matter how much we hope, Curry is going to be a Chief. There is almost no doubt Devaney is going with an OT. To me, the draft should be going like this for the Rams;

Round 1. Aaron Curry

Round 2. A solid OT. (william beatty, LOADHOLT)

Round 3. WR

Round 4. Cornerback

Round 5. Running Back

Round 6. Linebacker

Round 7. D-lineman

Hopefully, it turns out like this. :)
