peteb443: Before last season the Rams requested that the league allow them to wear the throw back uniforms in honor of Georgia's passing. The league declined their request. Are the Rams going to be able to wear them this year???
Jim Thomas: Yes, I wrote about this a while back. They have permission to wear the '99 Super Bowl champion throwbacks for three home games in 2009.
Marshall Faulk: Since the new Rams front office waited so long to trade or release holt, we missed out on some great free agent Wide Receivers. Will we get some veteran help or are we going to stay with young Avery/Burton?
Jim Thomas: I have a hard time thinking that they wouldn't try to bring in some kind of veteran before all is said and done.
marctheram: Thanks Jim, Any insight on who the Rams wish to plug in as a backup to Steven Jackson?
Jim Thomas: I really don't at this point.
Ryan Miller: I am from the central california area, and I was wondering what you thought of Bear Pascoe(the tight end from Fresno State)? Do you have any idea of what round he is expected to be drafted? And do you think the Rams would have any interest in him? Thanks for your time.
Jim Thomas: I don't think tight end is very high on the Rams radar right now, particularly if Bajema signs.
Butcher: Isn't it high time the Rams start getting away from the concrete shoe, pocket passer type, especially since our O line stinks, and go young and mobile at #2 QB? The Rams would add a new attack element with a big armed scrambler like a Steve Young/Steve McNair type who keeps defenses honest and on their heels! From Gabriel to Haden to Ferragamo to Chris Miller to Banks to Warner to Bulger, Ram blockers have labored for decades. Why can't they break out of it?
Jim Thomas: Well, they're kind of tied to Bulger for next year at least because of his contract.
