St. Louis
Rams Mini-Camp Starts Friday
Matt Walsh Sends Spygate
Tapes to NFL, Rams Win
Superbowl XXXVI!
Well Matt Walsh
finally gave the elusive
spygate tape s
to the NFL, but not THE
tape. According to
FoxSports "The tapes
sent to the NFL
show the Patriots recorded
signals in regular-season
games against Miami,
Buffalo,
Cleveland
and San Diego,
and against
Pittsburgh in the
2002 AFC
championship game."
Walsh is now supposed to
meet with Roger
Goodell next
Tuesday. What happend to
that tape of the Rams
walkthrough? Walsh's lawyer
stated that Walsh never said
he had a tape of the
St. Louis Rams Superbowl
walkthrough. How
convenient that the tape
that started most of this
investigation now does not
exist. More Spygate? What
are your thoughts? I for one
hate the Patriots and the
mad genius and the love fest
that ESPN has with this team
and Boston for that matter.
I think it is simple we won
Superbowl XXXVI, case over.

Rams Select
Chris Long
With The 2nd
Pick |
|
I love the
selection by
the
St. Louis
Rams
of
Chris Long
DE -
Virginia
with the
second
overall pick
in the
2008
NFL Draft.
The Rams
really could
not go wrong
with this
selection.
They were
sitting on
Glenn Dorsey
or Chris
Long, or the
possibility
of trading
down. I
believe
Chris Long
is the
correct
choice here.
With
Leonard
Little
and
James Hall
as the
starting DEs
going into
08' you have
to be
worried
about
injuries and
production.
Inside the
Rams can get
by with
Adam
Carriker,
Clifton Ryan,
LeRoy Glover
and
Claude
Wroten.
The Rams
needed a
legit pass
rusher and
Long is that
guy. In
addition to
his ability
the Rams
will add
football
intangibles.

Rams Select
Donnie Avery
With The
33rd Pick |
|
The
St. Louis
Rams
selected
Chris Avery
WR - Houston
University
with
the 33rd
overall pick
in the
2008
NFL Draft.
This was a
shocking
picking by
many. When
the Rams
picked at
#33 EVERY WR
was still on
the board.
Chris Avery
a speed
burner from
Houston was
not
considered
to be in the
top 10
receivers in
the draft.
Considering
we need an
offensive
lineman
still and
every WR was
still on the
board I
believe pick
#33 would
have been
probably
better
served by
selecting a
lineman and
shooting for
a WR in
round 3. The
Rams had
Avery in as
part of the
30 players
invited to
Rams Park a
couple of
weeks ago so
it is not
completely
surprising
but @ #33
this seems
to be way to
early. They
picked
Long
over
Dorsey
I believe
mostly based
on him being
a safer
choice. Then
at 33 when
they could
have picked
Devon Thomas
or
Malcolm
Kelly
the safer
choice or
DeSean
Jackson
the speed
burner
return man
from
California.
Jackson
seems to be
a perfect
fit for
Al
Saunders.
Only time
will tell
with this
pick. For
now I see it
as a reach.

Rams Select
John Greco
With The
65th Pick |
|
The
St. Louis
Rams
selected John
Greco OT
- Toledo
with
the 65th
overall pick
in the
2008
NFL Draft.
This was the
pick many
predicted
from the
start. The
Rams
had Greco in
as part of
the 30
players
invited to
Rams Park a
couple of
weeks
ago. At 6'5"
and 305
pounds and
great feet
this was a
nice pick up
for the
Rams.
The key to
Greco is
versitility.
With his
size and
feet he should
make a very
good guard
in the NFL
and can
also fill in
at tackle if
the
Rams have
injury
problems in
2008. With
Jacob Bell
and John
Greco the
Rams are
starting to
add some
depth to the
squad. John
was a top 5
guard with
most
scouting
firms.

Rams Select
Justin King
With The
101st Pick |
|
The
St. Louis
Rams
selected Justin
King CB
- Penn
State with
the 101st
overall pick
in the
2008
NFL Draft.
The theme
for the 2008
draft so far
would be
speed.
Justin is a
flat out
speed burner
with a 4.31
40 time.
Justin is
average size
at about
5'11" and
190 pounds.
With only 3
picks at
Penn State
during his
career his
ball skills
have been
question.
Justin will
give the
Rams more
depth in the
secondary
and also
special
teams. Along
with
Donnie Avery,
Justin can
also return
kicks.
Donte Hall
did not have
a great
weekend I
think he may
be
expendable
in 2008.

King's
speed in

Rams Select
Keenan
Burton With
The 128th
Pick |
The St. Louis Rams selected Keenan Burton WR - Kentucky with the 128th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. The run on speed continues. Keenan can run a 4.45 40 and can also return kicks. Keenan is great after the catch, which is why Scott Linehan likes Donnie Avery. I like the fact he knows how to score. Keenan had 21 touchdowns over the last two years at Kentucky. At 6' and 205 pounds he is more physical than Donnie Avery. This could be a player we can use to go over the middle. Injury issues have dropped him down this far in the draft. Keep that speed on special teams coming. Hopefully will compete with Avery for the #3 receiver position in 08'

Rams Select
Roy
Schuening
With The
157th Pick |
|
|
The St.
Louis Rams
selected Roy
Schuening OG
- Oregon State with
the 157th overall
pick in the
2008 NFL Draft.
The Rams are adding
more O-line depth
here with Schuening.
At 6'4" and 305
pounds this is
another large
versitile body for
the Rams to work
with. John
Greco and
Roy
Schuening
have both been
mentioned as being
like Logan
Mankins.
Roy is listed as the
#3 OG on
nfldraftcountdown which
means he could be a
steal at pick number
157 in the 5th
round. The Rams
suddenly have about
10 bodies to choose
from for their
O-line. Hopefully
youth and competite
will help this line
shape up for 08'.

Rams Select Chris
Chamberlain With The
228th Pick |
|
The St.
Louis Rams
selected Chris
Chamberlain LB/S
- Tulsa with
the 228th overall
pick in the
2008 NFL Draft.
NFL.com says
Chamberlin was the
guy who ended up
wowing scouts with
his incredible
workout. His
measurables and
skills are
impressive. He has a
chance to compete
for a roster spot
and should be a good
special teams
player. (6-1 5/8,
226), ran the (40)
in 4.75 and 4.67,
had a 34.5” Vertical
jump, 9’6” broad
jump, 4.09 short
shuttle, 6.87 (3
cone). He worked out
at the safety
position and looked
very good. Chris is
another great
athlete and possible
special teamer.
Chris made over 350
tackles in college
and may project to
SS in the Pros.

Rams Select David
Vobora With The
252nd Pick |
|
The St.
Louis Rams
selected David Vobora LB
- Idaho with
the 252nd overall
pick in the
2008 NFL Draft.
David Vobora is now
the 2008 Mr.
Irrelevant. David
is another great
athlete and possible
special
teamer. David made
over 330 tackles in
college while at
Idaho. Scott
Linehan use
to be a coach at
Idaho so maybe he
knows more about
David than most? Mel
Kiper said on ESPN
that he thinks David
will make the
St. Louis
Rams roster.
I am not a big
Mel Kiper
fan but it is good
to know that at
least he did not see
this pick as a joke
as some do. Just
remember Tom
Brady was a
6th round draft
choice, and
Marques Colston was
a 7th round pick.
