State of the Rams:
The Los Angeles, I mean St. Louis Rams made a swap at the quarterback position that could really benefit the offense. And it looks like that crazy defense just got even better with the additions they made in free agency. One thing the the Rams are going to have to do something about is the offensive line.
If they don’t, Nick Foles, whom the Rams traded Sam Bradford for, will have the same fate Bradford did. Foles was injured himself in 2014 and I don’t believe any quarterback could have taken the beating Bradford took with the Rams. But the good news for the Rams is the have the No. 10 pick in the draft and don’t have that many other pressing needs.
That defense is championship caliber and running back Tre Mason looks like he can be something with a good offensvie line. I think receiver Kenny Britt still has some game left and will do better with a steady quarterback. I’m actually still holding out hope for receiver Tavon Austin to become what he was drafted to be in 2013 too.
