James in San Jose: Jim,

Do you get the sense that Linehan is finally letting go his near-obsessive fear of turning the ball over? It seemed to influence his early season game plans that were extremely conservative, such as the 2 yard passes on 3rd and long? Did it finally take his 7 year old son to talk to some sense to him? If he were to return next year, I would feel alot better knowing he is at least learning from his numerous mistakes this year.

Jim Thomas: I don't know, maybe the players should be more "obsessed" with avoiding turnovers. Even after their first turnover-free game of the season, the Rams still have a league high 24 giveaways. I do think Marcus Linehan deserves a game ball.
And it was nice to see the Rams mixing up the short stuff with some deep shots, and working the middle as well as the perimeter.

The Instigator: I'm really upset this isn't the first question since that's generally what I do.

Anyway, how could you knott pick the Rams to beat San Francisco this week based on how the two teams are performing?

Jim Thomas: And the first shall be last. Instigator guy.. . . .first off, we all make mistakes, but try to avoid the typos in your questions. I think you meant "not" instead of "knott" _ am I right?
But I will agree, the 'Niners look down. They've lost seven in a row. If the Rams have any kind of carry over from New Orleans, they should be able to get a win at Monster Park. We'll see. I've got to go now. It's almost 5 o'clock and I want to watch the TV sports. Regards. . . .
