WDMay35: Why not move Albert back to third, Duncan to first, Ludwick, Ankiel & Shoemaker in the outfield? Let Barton be the relief guy & get rid of the current third baseman. He just isn't cutting it.
Jeff Gordon: Even in an emergency, TLR would hate to use Albert over there because of his partially torn elbow ligament. Why tempt fate with a throw across the infield?

As for Glaus, he will produce in bunches this season and play OK defense.

virginiatom: Why did the Rams not make a more concerted effort to upgrade their line backing corps? Dan Connor was there and the Rams could have traded for another 3rd round pick to get him. There is no doubt Witherspoon is a stud, but Pino is injury prone and Draft is unproven. If healthy, can this trio stop the run and cover the short passing game? They didn't impress last year in ether of these areas and there is no one behind them to step in if needed. Why was this area given so little attention?
Jeff Gordon: The Rams believe Culberson, a strong finisher last season, is ready to compete with Draft for a starting role.

virginiatom: Gordo, any idea what the Rams future at quarterback is? I thought they would have grabbed a developmental project this draft. DO you see them making that a priority next year? Given Bulgers and Greens injury history I think this should be a priority.
Jeff Gordon: Yes, it should be a priority. There are better No. 3s than Berlin floating around right now, but none of those guys have "future quarterback" written all over them.

Little Ed: Greetings!
Adam Archeuleta is back on the market we can use a good safety for a cheap price, and he is familiar with Saunder system, and in final he could help the new guys along. Maybe second time a charm, we are giving it to Trent.
Jeff Gordon: Trouble is, Archuleta cannot cover and he cannot tackle. That was the case here during his final season. That was the case in Washington and that was the case in Chicago. Apparently the Redskin and Bear personnel departments don't look at game videos or scouting reports before adding veteran players.

Archuleta hasn't been a useful NFL safety for years.

Little Ed: Hello!
Two questions for you. We could use a another QB to give Brock competition you think player like Chris Weinke or Tampa will let go Luke McCown, both have worked the west coast offense before. Also, could we use a good vet like lineman Jeremiah Trotter
Jeff Gordon: Can Trotter still play? Can he move side to side? Apparently that is questionable. Weinke isn't exciting, but one of the spare Tampa Bay QBs could fit here.
