Sonny: What front office and coaching changes do you see occurring during the off-season? Thanks
Jeff Gordon: In the least, there will be chances on Linehan's staff. Beyond that, we can't say the front office will make dramatic changes. The ownership is in limbo due to Georgia's illness, so that muddies everything.
Joe Stafford: Jeff, any chance the Rams draft Chris Long and go full time to the 3-4? Would L. Little be a possibilty at outside linebacker? He was a tweener when drafted, and I know he is getting long in the tooth, but it would be a nice short term fix so we could draft bigger inside backers in the later rounds.
Jeff Gordon: Little used to cover pretty well for a DE, but it seems like a lot to ask of him at this late stage of his career. If Haslett stays -- a big if -- you will see a lot of 3-4 as he changes things up.

Right now, at No. 2, drafting the other Long at OT appears to be the consensus pick.
Joe Stafford: Jeff, What Offensive line position needs improvement the most, and are their any free agents the Rams might be able to sign like they did Adam Timmerman?
Jeff Gordon: I like Setterstrom and Incognito at guard, if they get healthy. And you have Pace and Barron coming back at tackle. The Rams are in position to draft Jake Long and mix him in at tackle. At center, you need to replace Andy McCollum (retirement) and possibly Romberg.
Joe Stafford: Jeff, any chance that Issac Bruce will be back? He deserves to be able to retire a Ram!
Jeff Gordon: He can't return under his current contract, which is simply too rich under the cap. The deal was designed to be rewritten as Ike gets older. Now, how much less will he take before he opts to test free agency?
Joe Stafford: Jeff, any chance of the Rams hiring a new offensive coordinator, hiring someone from the rebuilding since 1957 Detroit Lions never made any sense to me? I hear Mike Martz might be available!
Jeff Gordon: Linehan said after the game that he will take a look at all his schemes. Will he liven up the offense a bit? Let's hope. But he knows what the players and coaches did this year wasn't nearly good enough.
