Need speed? I’m your guy, Hill says

Rams Park nuggets:

Informed that the Rams plan to bring in a speed coach this year, cornerback Tye Hill immediately nominated himself for the position. “They might let me take over that; I could do it,” said Hill, a former standout sprinter at Clemson. “I’m trying to get faster, actually. I’ve been working on my lower body a lot during this offseason, since I couldn’t do anything with my upper body.”

That’s because Hill was recuperating from a serious wrist injury that ended his season in early December. “It was the most painful injury I’ve ever had, without a doubt. It was just excrutiating pain. It was terrible,” Hill said. “I’m finished with injuries. I can’t get hurt anymore.”

Defensive back Ron Bartell is heading into the final season of his original four-year contract. That means he could become an unrestricted free agent after the season and boost his salary dramatically. That isn’t foremost on his mind, he insisted.

“Right now, the money situation, I’m not really worried about that,” he said. “Personally, I have some goals, and we have some goals as a team. If we accomplish those, I’ll be happy.”

One of those is making the playoffs. “The worst feeling in the world is that first week, when you’re at home watching the wild-card games,” he said. “Ever since then, I’ve been ready to go.”

Quarterback Trent Green brought a veritable library of offensive coordinator Al Saunders’ playbooks with him to St. Louis. “I have several of them from my years in Kansas City,” Green said. “The terminology I’m sure will be very familiar for me. Some of it will be pretty familiar for Marc (Bulger), because it’s similar to what Mike (Martz) ran when he was here.

“Al tweaked it a little bit when we got to Kansas City, just to make things work with o-line coaches and those kinds of things. And I’m sure Al’s couple of years in Washington, and now with the coaching staff here, there are going to tweaks here and there. But for the most part, it’s going to be the basic offense than I ran in Kansas City.”

Tackle Glenn Dorsey has received an endorsement from former LSU defensive linemate Claude Wroten as the Rams prepare for the April 26-27 draft. They have the No. 2 overall pick and were impressed by Dorsey’s performance at his recent pro day.

“The two years I played with him, we had a lot of fun,” Wroten said. “If he comes here, true enough it’d mean more competition. But I’d welcome him.”

All for now…

Dorsey has Wroten’s endorsement. They had fun at college and would have more here if we draft him. How reassuring. UGH!!!

Bartell? Looking ahead and thinking about free agency? Wanting to make the playoffs? How about concentrating on learning how to tackle??? He’s the worse tackler I’ve ever seen. Many times he just puts his arm out and it rarely does anything to the receiver. He needs to get physical with them when he tries to tackle them or push them out of bounds.

Bartell - Free Agency? Try making a play for the Rams first. He will be lucky to get the league minimum this time next year.

Claude Wroten? If we draft Glenn Dorsey (and we will, hes the best player in the draft), then our first task is to cut Claude Wroten. Dorsey doesnt need that kinda influence.

As for me? Yeah im still punting, and getting pretty good hang time too.

Hill likes to do the talk but he has yet to walk the walk. Is he another high draft Pick Bust ??
While teaching to become fast he should enroll himself in tackling 101.
