James Westin: Can you please explain to me what we should see more of and what we should see less of in Al Saunders' offense. Will Jackson get more/less carries, will Jackson get more/less receptions, 5 wr sets? twin te? twin hb? wr screens? more long passes? Please answer these and let me know some more things we should either see more or less of. Thanks a lot.
Jim Thomas: Early impressions. More 4 WR sets, which were a staple of Air Martz but hardly ever used with Linehan calling the plays. More deep shots. More motion and shifts. More creativity. More quick drops and releases by Bulger.
Jackson will be the centerpiece of the offense: 350-plus touches (carries and catches).
Michael: Have they completed the Edward Jones Dome yet? If so how does it look? Are they planning on changing the music theme this season?
Jim Thomas: Don't know about any changes, but I hear the Rams will have a drumline _ to "spice" things up on the sidelines.
owen: how does barron look.does he look improved.is he getting any reps at left takle
Jim Thomas: Barron looks pretty good. He still has trouble at time anchoring against the bull rush. He has worked exclusively at right tackle.
Dan G.: Is Bulger back in all-star looking form or is he done, in your opinion?
Jim Thomas: Neither. I'd put him at a B- so far.
qazzell: I would expect that this team will perform better after the off season moves and the draft, but with that schedule do you see them winning more than 6 games this year? And would that be enough to save linehan's job?
Jim Thomas: With the early season schedule, it's tough to see 8-8. I don't know what it will take for Linehan to come back. I don't think 6-10 is enought, however.
