Ramfan 1969: As you can tell by the name I've been around a few years. I played football I've coach football and there are a lot of question on this team, I don't think that Scott L is as bad as everyone else thinks he is and I like the fact that he went out and got help. My question is who and when, where do we go in the draft, my thoughts are talcke what are yours. Thanks.

Jeff Gordon: If Jake Long was another Orlando Pace, I'd take him. But he's not, so the disruptive DE would be a better bet. The Rams have similar issues at both positions, but the C. Long appears to be the better pick there.

Gabriel to Snow: I am heartened by recent events. 30 days ago having Al Saunders as an OC & reeling in a LEGITIMATE personnel man in Billy Devaney seemed even less likely than the Pats stubbing their toe on the brink of immortality. I'm even enthused about Shea for a new QB coach. The offseason couldn't have gotten off to a much better start. Let's hope we feel the same after the draft, free agency & cap management. So far, so good. Do you see it the same way Gordo?
One other item. I believe J. Wade was a WR before switching to DB in college. Has anyone ever toyed with the idea of seeing if he is capable of learning a few routes? I assume he is a well known speedster, a handful of plays with him in the lineup could help cause confusion for the defense & actually create some gaps if he just ran some deep routes. I can't imagine what harm could come from the attempt. I'd love to know what Wade thinks of the idea. If he likes the thought, maybe he could ask Al if he is open to it. Any chance of contacting Wade to hear his input? I am sure he would not be another Roy Green. But why not explore versatility in a player who currently does NOT play every down. Am I nuts here?

Jeff Gordon: The Rams already have an explosive guy in Stanley to groom at WR. And they need Wade to grow as a cornerback. He is still raw, for the reasons you noted.

Justin: How goes it, Gordo? Well it's about that time of year - What can you tell us about potential free agents? Any idea who the Rams might be interested in, or who you think they should be interested in?

Jeff Gordon: Free agency is tough to read this year. The salary cap is expected to increase to $116 million, leaving no more than a half-dozen teams hamstrung. We're seeing some big names (Alge Crumpler, Zach Thomas) get released, but the most teams will have a better-than-usual chance to keep their prime-age free agents.

Leroy D. of Olpe, KS: Dear Gordo,
If and when the spygate tapes are revealed concerning Super Bowl 36, practice plays matched up with actual game footage, showing the Patriots WAITING to stuff the play. If this can be proven in a convincing manner, I believe the Rams organization should declare Bill Belicheck and the Patriots as thieves, and that the unstoppable Rams team of Super Bowl 36 as the real victors. Even with the cheating, that Rams team almost won, ANYWAY.

What do you think?

Jeff Gordon: Had the Rams adjusted their offense to the officiating and the New England game plan, they could have won. Had they held onto more footballs, they would have won. They did not play smart enough or efficiently enough. Had they played to their full ability and lost because of espionage, then they should be outraged. But they played below their ability in the biggest game.

Tim: Just kind of a thought here. what do you think?

Move Carriker out to DE, Sign Corey williams and stick him in aT NT along with Clifton Ryan at DT, Draft Chris Long (if he's there) and I know this seems dumb but move Lenord Little to OLB.

Jeff Gordon: At this stage of his career, Little couldn't really play OLB. He has good cover skills for a DE, but he's no Will Witherspoon in that regard.
