[Andy Hicks]

Welcome to the opening week for 2010.

Please try and help those who aren't watching by describing events and developments.

If someone is getting lots of targets, let everyone know

If someone has barely been on the field etc.

 

[Inspiration]

Fitzgerald with a 1st down reception, but he definitely doesn't look 100%

 

[lyon812]

Rams cause a fumble and come out throwing, including a nice rollout pass to Clayton. However, the drive stalls and AZ blocks the FG.

 

[lyon812]

Really leaning heavily on Bradford so far; baptism by fire, perhaps. 2 rushes, 7 passes, 3 of which were to Clayton.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

2 carries for jackson in the 1st qtr???

 

[The_Wolfman]

Fitzgerald with a 1st down reception, but he definitely doesn't look 100%

Can you go into anymore detail on this? Is he still on the field every play?

He has been on the field every play. He isn't changing directions as well as he normally does, though.

 

[lyon812]

Long has been getting consistent pressure. Rams need him to live up to his promise this year.

 

[aimlessgun]

Stephen Williams with a target in the endzone, maybe Eminence was right.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Hey, rookie mistake by Bradford there, snapped it while his team was still setting up.

 

[BradtheAg]

Where is Laurent Robinson?

 

[lyon812]

Ball goes through Clayton's hands that might have gone for a TD. Thrown a bit high, but no one around and Clayton should have come away with it.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

There were so many solid FA WRs this year, I really just don't understand why STL didn't go get one of them to help out their young QB.

 

[aimlessgun]

I don't understand how Anderson's stats seem so decent when he looks HORRIBLE out there.

 

[OtisSpy]

I'm pretty sure I could poop a pass more accurately then Anderson can throw one.

 

[biggamer3]

Looks like Clayton will be a top WW guy this week

 

[Lambert]

Where is Laurent Robinson?

Ditto ... inquiring minds want to know ... Is Robinson dropping passes, not being targeted at all, etc.? I know it's early in the game, but any insights from those watching?

 

[BradtheAg]

Is Laurent Robinson playing??

Not being targeted; Clayton's getting the lion's share. I only remember seeing Robinson get thrown to once.Amendola just had a very nice catch-and-run.

 

[lyon812]

Robinson got an end zone target, but no chance for a completion.

 

[D'OHtis]

Ball goes through Clayton's hands that might have gone for a TD. Thrown a bit high, but no one around and Clayton should have come away with it.

Yeah there was absolutely no excuse for not catching that. Bradford's locking onto Clayton a lot. Looks more comfortable and shows more chemistry with him than anyone. Bradford just needs a better receiver(s)

 

[lyon812]

Good lord, the Rams just got gashed on consecutive runs of 21, 15, 19, and 1 for the TD. Just like last year, this was why some people supported Suh over Bradford.

Didn't he know Clayton at Okla? I think I read somewhere that's why they traded for him.

They never played together, but I remember hearing that they worked together on some drills during Bradford's Oklahoma offseasons.

Didn't play together at Oklahoma, but worked out together in offseasons there. Probably big reason they went for him. They seem to have as much chemistry together as any of the other STL receivers.

 

[drm1125]

Anderson looks like his usual lousy self. What would he look like against a real defense?

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Anderson is just a special blend of piss. I feel bad for his receivers. These passes are just laughable.

 

[aimlessgun]

Not only Anderson, just the entire pass offense looks terrible.

 

[D'OHtis]

booth review on Amendola catch. He had it for 30 seconds all the way through.

Booth decision: OMG A CATCH!!!

 

[FavreCo]

Anderson is just a special blend of piss. I feel bad for his receivers. These passes are just laughable.

He won't last the year. Max Hall will take over eventually.

 

[D'OHtis]

Beautiful throw & catch by Clayton.

Gotta review it.....

 

[lyon812]

Long completion to Clayton, great concentration and catch while falling backwards. Clayton in a nutshell--these sorts of flashes of brilliance.

 

[drm1125]

Wonder how long it will be before Hall is starting?

 

[D'OHtis]

Clayton looks rejuvenated. I thought he looked brillant at times in Balt, lacked consistency. Made some real nice grabs today. He could top 70 grabs this year with Bradford.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Go for it.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Sam Bradford can play at this level and play well. Wow.

J

 

[D'OHtis]

And we have a review....

I say just review every single catch. Killing the game.

 

[lyon812]

It was a great acquisition, and a necessary infusion of talent into the Rams WR corps. I'm still surprised at how often he's being targeted, though. Surely AZ will adjust, and it'll be interesting who can step up.

 

[lyon812]

Glad to see them going for it.

 

[ponchsox]

Give SJax more carrries!!

 

[Football Jones]

Bradford is going to be a special, special player.

 

[lyon812]

Touchdown Laurent Robinson!

I was all ready for Jackson, and when he rolled out I was like no, no, no--YES!

 

[D'OHtis]

TD bradford to robinson

Great confidence shown putting the ball in the hands of a rookie on 4th and goal.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Very impressed by Bradford on that drive. He should actually have 2 TD's but that's football.

 

[ponchsox]

Bradford >>>>>>>> Kolb

 

[aimlessgun]

Can we just put Max Hall in now and let the rebuilding begin?

 

[lyon812]

And here I thought Anderson was supposed to help Fitzgerald's numbers..

 

[FavreCo]

And here I thought Anderson was supposed to help Fitzgerald's numbers..

Why would you have thought that?

 

[lyon812]

It was sarcasm. A number of people were thrilled when Leinart got the boot for Anderson, saying exactly what I wrote above. Poor Larry. He needs Bradford. =p

 

[FreeBaGeL]

No you stupid announcer, it's a touchback not a safety.
