4-6-3: Gordo,

With a good start do you think the poor defense and lack of pitching depth are being overlooked? It's great that Pujols is finally getting some support that he's lacked over the past couple seasons and the results aren't surprising there but I fear the errors and pitching are going to cost some key victories this season.
Jeff Gordon: Ludwick gave Pujols good support last year. Ditto Glaus. And Ankiel did when healthy.

Pitching depth is still an issue. Defense I'm not as worried about, especially with Greene.

eternalramnation: Gordo,

If the Rams are looking to get one more year out of Barron, why put him at left tackle? He wasn't pro bowl material on the right but he's more then servicable. Barron has to know this is his contract year and if he plays to the potential that he was drafted on he'd be in for a nice payday next year.
Personally I'd really be disappointed if our new shut down left tackle, the second pick in the draft who'll probably get around 35 million in guaranteed money, can't beat out Alex Barron.
Jeff Gordon: If Barron is way better on the left side than the right, then play him there and win more games this year.

Lawarence Marmie: How is the UFL draft going to work? Are Jim Haslett and the boys in that league going to get their pickings of what no NFL team wanted from this one?
Jeff Gordon: I don't know what's up with the UFL -- my guy Haslett is working with us here at KFNS now.

Lawarence Marmie: Are you as shocked as I am that a Scott Linehan Team (Lions) picked a tight end high in the draft? Why didn't he just get the Lions to trade with the Rams for your boy Klop?
Jeff Gordon: Ah, the Klop. Let's hope that Chase Coffman doesn't pattern himself after this cat.

TheFanatic: Can you name a worse WR corps in the league than the Rams? Why did we wait so long to make a pick at that position? Love our first two pick. I have no problem with the guy we took 3, but I would've liked to have seen a WR there.
Jeff Gordon: A healthy Avery and a healthy Burton might surprise you at WR. But on paper, yes, that is scary.
