Catching up with some of the recent signings...
The Rams did in fact sign Trent Green to back up and apparently light a fire under Marc Bulger. I think it was a pretty ridiculous contract, three years for a 38-year-old QB coming off two major concussions, and for what Green's getting, the Rams could easily have resigned a certain 35-year-old WR who would be much more valuable to the team.
Ok, that horse is not only dead now, it's glue; I'll try to stop kicking it.
Jerome Carter was re-signed to a veteran minimum contract, though if I were in charge I'd be drafting a safety next month, possibly as early as round 3, and I don't expect Carter to make the team this summer without really surprising us with his play.
Finally, Brandon Gorin was re-signed, and I fear he's the intended third tackle. Steve Loney the Crony recommended him to Scott Linehan last year, and is here to coach him this year, so that pipeline of awesome offensive line talent between here and Phoenix stays open. Gorin doesn't do much for me in addressing the Rams' weak offensive line depth. He's the 3rd-best tackle on -this- roster, but that's saying very little.
Tackles: Pace, Barron, Gorin, Pettitti, LeVoir
Guards: Bell, Incognito, Goldberg, Leckey
Centers: Setterstrom, Raiola, Fry
I would prefer:
Tackles: Pace, Barron, rookie, Gorin
Guards: Bell, Incognito, Setterstrom, Goldberg
Centers: a real one (even a rookie), Setterstrom
plus a veteran guard/center type.
Keep your fall schedule cleared, Andy McCollum.
