Stl. Rams K. Warner is the starter does he pick up

[EndZone]

where he left off 2 years ago or is this year a repeat of last year. I have no idea what to think of the Rams. With Faulk, Holt, Bruce, and Warner they are very scarey. But then again last year they did sputter.

Do the blow up or blow it?

I think they blow it and we see the same Warner we saw last year!

Bulger will be starting no later then week 6 IMO!

 

[SECTION 11]

I know what to think.

They have no CB's, even if AW manages to come back, he's still on the slide. They are going to regret losing BOTH McCleon and Bly. They'll have a solid D line, will it be enough to make up for their LB's and CB's? Maybe I guess.

On offense, they lost key players. Hodgins, Nutten and most importantly..... Ricky Proehl. He scored four receiving TD's last year. As many as Torry Big Ego Holt. They dealt with losing AZ to the Lions because Proehl was reliable, now they're still left with Holt and Bruce, but they aren't the spread 'em out, everyone's-a-threat offense that they used to be.

Didn't they lose Ernie Conwell too?

I don't know where he ended up.
But the Rams signed Cam Cleeland. That's pretty much a wash.

Kurt Warner isn't that good.

Put any average to good QB that has a brain (that excludes Jake Plummer from running the Rams offense) in the offense and they will succeed. What if Gannon had that O, what if

Bledsoe
Pennington
Vick
Brady
Brees
Blake
Harrington
Carr
Manning
Garcia
Leftwich
Plummer - even Jake would look better

All these QB's would look like superstars with a Ram O

Regardless.

The Rams, regardless of how bad the entire team is, always has Faulk, Holt, and Bruce. They can take a game over but I think they are on the downside of thier legacy

I think this is the year the Rams are no longer a big threat. Bruce and Faulk are a year older and have injury histories, still major questions about the health of Warner, section 11 detailed their CB problems. They did fix their OL and I think that will help Warner immensely(and Faulk) but I think they're gettin old.

Also have major personality issues, either Holt nor Pace are happy, Warner is the starter but you know there are guys there who don't think he should be. I think that team could totally implode this season.

I currently have Seattle picked to win our division.

 

[Brighteyes]

SEATTLE?

On the Hasselbeck bandwagon? Methinks it has but 3 wheels. KVB will upset it inside the first quarter.

Only question in my mind is, how many weeks into the season before the analysts start telling us they knew the Cardinals were going to be the surprise team of the season all along.

(Seriously. Just pretend like you see the potential. After a while, it gets easy.)

 

[Snakester]

It all depends on injurys but I think Warner and company will win the division if they stay healthy. Faulk,Bruce,Holt and Warner should look like their old selves behind Pace and Turley.

It's actually based on how they finished, they won their last 3, the offense really exploded, and it was largely their younger players (Hasselbeck, Koren Robinson etc) that were getting it done. they have major defensive questions but so do every other team in the division including us.

It's wide open any of the teams could win it in our division I'm just picking the team that I feel was playing the best at the end of the season.

Yeah but we were one of the teams they barely beat at the end of the season. After all of our injuries no less.

True, as were the Rams, and the Chargers.

Again I'm not saying Seattle is the clear team to beat, just that right now if I had to place money on any team to win the division, it would be Seattle right now.

I liked their draft too.

I just think the Rams have too many personnel issues, guys not happy etc. I am so close to the 49ers situation I probably overrate it but I think they too have major problems(TO, secondary, DL etc).

I think we're potentially vastly improved but I fear a team with a new OC, new offense, new QB, new RB, new FB, and new WR's is going to take a while to put it all together.

I'll gladly be wrong and have us win the NFCW (-:

Man... I need to read better. I thought you were talking bout the Rams. So you think the Seahawks will take the division?

The NFCW is so up in the air I am sticken with the Cards.

I just don't see the Ram, or 49er's pulling it off this year. I think it comes down to the Seahawks or our beloved Cards.
