Joe Stafford: Jeff, what is going on with Torry Holt? Does he want out that bad? I understand the problem he had with Loserhand, but he is long gone now. Why doesn't he give Jim Haslett a chance to get things changed before going public with this? I respect all of his accomplishments, but is it time to get whatever we can in a trade this offseason and move on?

Jeff Gordon: It was nice to see Holt get some work late in the game, even though it was out of hand at that point. I don't blame him for wanting more touches, but he has to earn those touches by getting open. Haslett wouldn't comment after the game about Torry's lack of work early in this game.

With Avery, Burton and Stanley on the rise, it's not hard to imagine the Rams cutting Torry rather than pay him his big salary next season. That would free up money to spend elsewhere and allow Torry to get a fresh start.

Perhaps then we will see if Torry has slowed down or whether he just let his emotion get the better of him here.

Joe Stafford: Jeff, and chance of Donnie Avery and Chris Long becomming Rookie's of the year?

Jeff Gordon: Long way to go -- and the Rams will have to win some games to further their cases. Long has a shot on the defensive side. Donnie has big competition.

Joe Stafford: Jeff, how can it be different when the Colts and the Seahags have sone sort of coach in the waiting plan, and they don't have to comply with the Rooney Rule, but the Rams must? I understand and support the Rooney Rule, but isn't it really just lip service to interview a minority candidate and then hire who you wanted in the first place?

Jeff Gordon: That is just a quirk in the rules, something the Rams can work around IF Haslett turns this team back in the right direction.

Tackleberry: A lot of people have been very critical of Bulger, but it is hard to stick up for him when he takes two-steps back for every big step he takes forward. I think to solidify the support from the fanbase he needs have multiple games with a great deal of success. I also think that some marked improvement in one of his area's of weakness (mobility/agility or the long ball accuracy) would help rally fans. Show us that if you can't lead verbally, lead by example.

Jeff Gordon: And today did not help that. He play9ed OK, in some regards, but he couldn't elevate his team when the game was on the line.

Joe Stafford: Jeff, Is Drew Bennett one of the all time greatest Free agent Busts ever? Torry Holt is griping about his role, but if you didn't look at the roster you wouldn't know he was even on the team. I hope Haslett cuts him asap.

Jeff Gordon: Bennett should go on IR, then get on with his life. As we saw today, Stanley must play.
