adam_cruts: Jeff, sorry for all the questions. I noticed your response to the Eddie Kennison question about "why didn't he play week 2" by you saying that he was in no game shape to play. If that's the case, why was it reported on this site immediately after his signing that he might play? Had he not stepped on a scale after the signing?
Jeff Gordon: When we talked to Eddie Wednesday, he said he "might have to go to Target and buy some lungs" to play. When Avery proved healthy enough to play, there was no need to run him out there.
Ex-Jackson Fan: Knowing coach linehan isn't close to perfect; he's still not the one not playing with fire in their tummys & desire to win !!
Are there any cases of linehan making a bad judgment call on the rams sideline that has cost them a game & warrant firing him???
Jeff Gordon: His teams have been consistently bad in the second half, after the other side adjusts. His gameplans are almost always insufficient and his game management speaks for itself. 22 losses in 29 games, is it, and 15 of the last 18?
okcarhauler: Jeff, Thanks for taking the questions. If the Rams are a true business, here to make a profit, Then Chip Rosenbloom needs to know that I personally have not and will not spend one more dime on anything Rams IE hats, jerseys ect. until he gets this Management/ Coaching thing fixed. I have even cut off my Direct TV Sunday ticket which I was a charter member when it first started. Why spend a dime on a product that is clearly mis-managed and doesn't care about it's customers! And they have the NERVE to want a new stadium in a few years? I'd just show them the nearest onramp to I-70 and tell them good luck! I don't expect Superbowls every year, but at least look like you care enough to try to compete!
Jeff Gordon: Fair enough. And this is my last answer of the day.
Thanks for all the questions and comments!
