Gee, how did the Rams get so thin at WR?

Rams say Holt is staying put

Once the question was posed, the Rams official laughed for a good 20 seconds, then told a reporter: "If that were the case, we might have to line you up at wide receiver."

Comment:
Hilarious. The Rams ARE one Torry Holt injury away from having nothing at the WR position. Somebody tell Mr. Front Office Funny Guy that if the Rams dumped Torry, besides having to line up no-names at WR, they'd have to line up 10,000 fans every week to fill all the rapidly-emptying seats.


Rumors swirl like March wind this time of year. But the Torry Holt trade rumors — to Philadelphia or Cincinnati, take your pick — are simply hot air, according to coach Scott Linehan. Linehan says the Rams aren't shopping their star wide receiver.

"There's no interest, no discussions about trading Torry Holt," Linehan said. "He's on our team, we want him on our team, and I hope he feels the same way."

Besides, it simply makes no sense to move Holt. The release of Isaac Bruce leaves Holt, Drew Bennett and Dante Hall as the Rams' top three wide receivers. The team needs to add another quality body at receiver, not subtract one.

Comment:
Jim Thomas is just stating the facts here, and I absolutely agree with him. And naturally, I would like to point out that the Rams HAD a "quality body" at receiver.

You know, the guy who's third all-time in receiving yardage?
