Tim: I was at work yesterday so I didnt watch the game but I saw that the Rams gave up 5 Sacks. Do you think te Rams might start mixing up their line a bit or just keep it as is and not screw up what they have going right now? Id like to see what Grecco and Scuening in there and see what they can do. What was the sarting line? Awesome job to Haslett and the rest of the Rams and keep it going
Jeff Gordon: Goldberg started for Pace, then it was Bell, Leckey, Incognito and Barron. The run blocking was exceptional. Haslett didn't like the sacks, but Bulger is immobile and Dallas has a nice pass rush. Overall, the line played well.

KY_CUB_KILLER: How serious of a pitch will the Cardinals make for Jake Peavy? Also do you think the Cards will resign Springer?
Jeff Gordon: The Cards will make a serious pitch. As for Springer, if he wants to return, I would expect the Cards to sign him. He is a great fit here.

KY_CUB_KILLER: How much after the salary raises will the Cards have to spend on free agents? What will be spent and to what positions will it be spent on?
Jeff Gordon: Let's see what trades the Cards make. There may be no money for big free agents after deals are made. There are a lot of ways to push the payroll past $100 million.

LA-Vegas Rams Fan: Gordo nice to see the Rams have life back in their playing. And to beat the Criminals is even better, this was a big win for the franchise hope we can keep it rolling. Would love to hand the Cheaters a loss next week and coach vcr.
Jeff Gordon: If Jackson is healthy, the Rams have a real shot up there.

mattmitchl44: Gordo,

You raised the subject of Khalil Greene in your Peavy article last Friday.

Greene is, in my opinion, an excellent trade target for three reasons: (1) he's been very good offensively away from Petco over his career (.800+ OPS most seasons), (2) he's a very good-to-outstanding defensive SS, and (3) if he doesn't work out, he's only signed for 2009 (at $6.5 million) so there's no long term committment.

Given that getting Peavy is at least unlikely, what do you think it would take to get Greene alone?
Jeff Gordon: Excellent question. I'm guessing the Cards could deal from their outfield and/or RH relief depth to get him. Greene alone, for one year, isn't all that attractive to most teams. But he could be a good bet here, since he could offer more SS offense even with a so-so season. And what if he blossoms?
