Today is the final day of two-a-days up in Mequon, with practices scheduled for 8:45 and 4:00. The final practice of training camp is tomorrow at 3:50.
* Steven Jackson holdout day 19. Brian Burwell tries to find a way to broker peace between Jackson and Jay Zygmunt. Meanwhile, Jackson's $285,000 fine is going to make it hard for him to buy these Shoeless Joe Jackson baseball cards for Christmas.
* The writers are getting restless. In an interview on "Team 1380" yesterday, Jim Thomas awesomely said he would make the first-team offense stay on the field Saturday night until they get into the endzone. Asked about the starting offense's failure to score a TD in two-plus preseasons under Linehan, Thomas said, "Preseason or not, it's pretty damn embarrassing."
Pretty harsh words from your team's beat writer, who as usual, is right again. Bill Coats repeats and endorses the idea in his blog, adding that Chris Long and Adam Carriker, who had no tackles between them against Tennessee (or, as Howard Balzer's pointed out, two less than the French guy, Sebastian Sejean), ought to be left in the game until they start to make some plays.
I love it. At least -somebody's- getting sick of this team's poor level of play.
* Injury report. Victor Adeyanju and Donnie Avery returned to practice yesterday on schedule.
* Former Ram update. Adam Archuleta has been signed by the Raiders to a one-year contract. Oakland made the move trying to improve their safety depth, but may also try Archuleta out at strong side linebacker. Ironically, Oakland's the team Rams fans were afraid would snatch Archuleta away if the Rams didn't nab him at #20 in the first round of the 2001 draft.
More here as news dictates.
