Ron: Jim,

With Marc Bulger struggling in the first two games, do you think it is to early to start thinking of making a quarterback change? Trent Green might not be the answer, but it is worth a shot.

Jim Thomas: I thought Bulger played fairly well against the Giants, all things considered.

Kiko: In your opinion would changing coaches at this point in time help or hurt the Rams? And who do you think they can replace Linehan with?

Jim Thomas: I don't think anybody but Al Davis would fire a head coach after two games. I don't know what the problem is. But this team is better than 38-3 and 41-13. If the embarrassments continue to mount, I think it's very possible that a change will be made before the season's out. And that's something I thought I'd never say before because it has been so contrary to past Rams policy.
As for interim head coach, that's a tricky one? Do Saunders and Haslett deserve "promotions?" Veteran LB coach Rick Venturi has been an interim coach twice. Do you plead with Dick Vermeil to come in and provide leadership? I've heard some rumblings about Henry Ellard. It's a tough call.

Jason: Jim,

If Jim Haslett continues to throw management & Linehan
"under the bus" which he is! (but no one in the media seems to be reporting)........Management would consider firing Linehan & Haslett, would they not?

-Jason

Jim Thomas: Not sure what you're getting at. Are you accusing Haslett of purposely tanking games?

Matt: Jim,

One of the things I've noticed about Bulger is that he refuses to throw the ball away when receivers are not open. I realize he wants to make something happen, but wouldn't it be better to throw it away and try to get six yards on 3rd down rather than sixteen? Do the coaches ever talk about this?

Jim Thomas: Yes, they do talk about it.

brutch: JT,

Thanks for the chat. Do you know what the reaction to the columns Bernie and Burwell wrote yesterday? If Chip makes a change, would it only be with the coaching staff, or is there heat on Zygmunt as well?

Jim Thomas: I don't know for sure. But I think Rosenbloom is evaluating Zygmunt as well.
