dinodavis1: Greeting Jim From Sacramento,
I wonder what the Rams defense will play like if we ever get the lead in a ballgame? Also the Offense looked much better but the mistakes make you forget that when you are looking at the score. Allsaid I beleive we are getting better.
Thanks
Dino in Sacto

Jim Thomas: Yeah, it's unbeleivable. In five games, basically one-third of the season, the Rams have led for only 12 1/2 minutes! (Against Washington.) It's a lot easier to rush the passer when you have a lead.

icedram: Hey Jim,

I thought the playcalling by Shurmur was a huge overall improvement from this past sunday. Anythoughts if he's going to continue to open up the playbook this week now that Bulger is back in? I hope he continues to do so and atleast stretch the field against a shaky defensive secondary and worst pass rush in the league.

Also,where the heck chris long? I know he had pressure on campbell in the WAS game and was a big part of the sack on the 1 yard line but he hasn't shown up much. Is he lagging in developement?

Thanks Jim

Jim Thomas: I sure hope so. Jacksonville has one of the league's worst pass defenses _ I believe they're ranked 30th this week. And the Jaguars were torn up by Matt Hasselbeck last week.

sam_crecelius: Thanks for your time today!

Any chance Chad Henne (second round, I think) and his performance last night convinces some folks to lay off the get-a-QB-in-the-1st-round bandwagon? Kind of shows that we could use our first pick somewhere else, and still probably find someone a little later on. Or even give Null a shot next year...

Jim Thomas: That's a good point. And what if there's a stud pass rusher available, or a franchise-type receiver. That all has to be considered.

rams26: Hi Jim -

I just want to say that Spags has my support 100%. If people can't see that this team is improving they are blind. Yes. there are mistakes that need to be cleaned up. I think we could still do some damage in a very weak division. SF really showed how overrated they are!!!!

As always.............GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim Thomas: I see what you're saying. But the Rams have had two cracks against this very week division so far his season _ albeit both on the road _ and have lost 63-0 to those teams. (28-0 to Seattle and 35-0 to San Fran).

Crazy_Legs: Jim, thanks for your time. I�m beginning to wonder about Spags and co. The Rams don�t seem mentally prepared to play on Sunday�s. Penalties, TO�s, receivers running into each other, missed blocks etc. Is this on the players (or lack of talent) or do you think the coaching staff has to step up and take responsibility for a complete mess on the field. Thanks�

Jim Thomas: As I've said before, ultimately it comes back to the coaching.
