Don: Jim--Is it time to rethink Bulger? I know he has been hurt and has a makeshift line. That was clear in his poor accuracy on Sunday. Even before the start of the season, he seemed to not see open secondary receivers. Something I noticed last season & in pre-season is that many replays of interceptions or incomplete passes show some other recievers wide open and ignored. Bulger has never been a good red-zone QB. His forte has been accuracy in space--which will account for a lot of TDs in a Mike Martz offense, not a traditional offense. Since the Rams are in the lead for the No. 1 draft pick next April, maybe a mobile QB who can make things happen (like most top QBs drafted in the past few years)is in order.

Jim Thomas: You don't re-think quarterbacks two months after signing them to a $65 million contract extension. Also, Bulger threw 21 TD passes last season with zero interceptions in the red zone. That's pretty good, don't you think? Overall, the Rams finished eighth in the NFL in red zone TDs in 2006.

Ed Johnson: Dear Jim
Two questions sir, first by moving training camp to Ram City instead of Macomb, Ill, did that make us a little softer? I thought our players were in much better conditioning and shape when we held training camp there. Two, what would it take to get Bill Cowher or maybe a Les Miles/Pete Carroll to come to the Rams?

Jim Thomas: The camps are just as rigorous at Rams Park as they were in Macomb. Again, it's way too early to begin searching for a new coach.

Steve Roberts: What's the deal with Wilkens? Is he hurt? This type of play just isn't normal for him. Will the Rams seriously consider replacing him mid-season if it continues?

Jim Thomas: Don't think he's hurt. Don't think the Rams will consider replacing him, unless he goes about 0 for 15. Even Albert Pujols has a slump now and then. Unfortunately for Wilkins, his has come at a time when a lot of other things are going wrong for the club.

cardmel: I am not trying to start any controversay here. However, what a football mind can put together on offense, a defensive mind can adapt too. My question; is the taller,or more mobil quaterback, the wave of the future to defend aganist. Will this type of QB be in drafting futre of the Rams?

Jim Thomas: Maybe. But two of the best QBs in the league _ Tom Brady and Peyton Manning _ are pocket passers.

DD: New to this Jim thank you for providing, long time Rams fan livining in Vegas. Yesterday was the worst game I remember seeing ever, the fact that Haslett's defense took zero risks in the 2nd half ( nice to see Chavous revover the fumbled snap for 6) didn t happen nobody was around, Bulger way off target, why is the ZERO changes? In coaching staff, play calling, personell, zero changes they seem to keep going out with the same losing game plan, I dont get it. I am looking forward to KW's return but he couldn't help this team, the O line caused to him to be hurt and replaced to start with. I dont care for Linehan but this has been going on for several years, maybe Shaw needs to hit the bricks....

Jim Thomas: I too would like to see Haslett take more chances. But it's tough to blitz when you're so shaky at cornerback (minus Hill and Brown). For example, the first TD pass to Patrick Crayton came on a blitz, meaning once Lenny Walls missed the tackle, there was no one back there to help out.
I would like to see something attempted to shake things up. Such as, an occasional trick play; using the no-huddle for a series or two.
