Todd W.: Jim,
Is Nick Leckey the smallest lineman in the league? I'm sure he has alot of heart, but just seems he would get overmatched against anybody.
When will the Rams realize that the best offenses also have the biggest and best Oline's?

Jim Thomas: No doubt, Leckey isn't the largest human being to ever play center in the NFL. And size usually helps on the o-line. But for years, the Broncos have had very good success running the ball with annually one of the league's smallest o-lines.
okcarhauler: Jim, I would like your opinion, I personally like the way Haslett has changed the attitude at Rams park. These players will fight and stay in the game, and not fold like a cheap tent at the first signs of trouble. Just take the Steven Jackson fumble as a prime example.
Jim Thomas: No doubt, the signs were encouraging Sunday. But as Haslett himself said, it's just one game.
FredDryerFan: Hi Jim, thanks for these chats.
Hope this question hasn't already been asked: What are your thoughts on bringing in Tony Gonzales and what do you think we'd have to give KC for him? Is he even willing to come to another losing franchise?

Jim Thomas: From what I've heard, Gonzalez wants to be traded to a contender which pretty much leaves the Rams out of the picture, wouldn't you think?
nicky: Jim, sorry to bother you again but if you find a place to lodge a complaint on the video screens lodge one against the hit they made on Bulger. Do not know if you have tape of the game but watch the one where he scrambled. It was clearly a helmet to helmet hit on Bulger while he was on the ground. So hard in fact it completely spun him around. League should look at that and fine accordingly. Thanks.
Jim Thomas: At the time, I thought so too on the Bulger scramble. I'll try to check on that, too.
SBC34: Jim, I was talking to my father yesterday, and he asked me who the traveling secretary and equipment manager of the Rams was, and I could not answer him. Could you help me out with their names?
Jim Thomas: Todd Hewitt is the Rams' longtime equipment manager.
