KEY LOSSES
Player, Pos., 2010 Team

Paris Lenon, LB, Arizona
Ruvell Martin, WR, Seattle
Randy McMichael, TE, San Diego
Jonathan Wade, CB, Detroit


QBs:
The Mark Bulger era is over and they drafted Sam Bradford for the future. Despite two injuries to his throwing shoulder, the second requiring surgery, and only two full seasons of college experience at Oklahoma the Rams were highly impresssed with Bradford at his pro day performance and a private workout, so they’ll sink or swim with the rookie.

Their other QBs on the roster are AJ Feeley and Keith Null, but lets hope we don't ever see them play, because they make me want to throw up and cut my eye balls out with a spoon.

RBs: Steven Jackson is the key to this offense and really Sam Bradford. If he can alleviate pressure off of Bradford the college to pro transition will be a lot easier for him. Jackson can still run with 1,416 yards(second in the NFL and the fifth year in a row he’d topped 1,000) and added 322 yards on 51 receptions.

Their other RBs don't really need to be mentioned.

WRs: Laurent Robinson, Mardy Gilyard, Donnie Avery, Keenan Burton, Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola are what's in store for the Rams, which only leads me to think. What ever happened to the greatest show on turf?

Awful, just awful.

Defense:
Fred Robbins and Chris Hovan DTs, James Laurinaitis, Bobby Carpenter LBs, and their CBs are all awful. The Rams were 27th in defense last year, don't expect a turnaround.


Overall:
Offense intriguing, defense demoralizing. So the Captains favorite team will finish last in their division (NFC West) and probably finish with 5 wins.
