Rams

VS

Colts

...oooopppsss....awwwwwkkkkwwaaaaarrrrrrddddddd

Stuff I'm Looking For

1. Brandon Gibson- is he really having as great of a preseason as everyone is making it out to be?

2. Michael Brockers Beast Mode- I've been hearing it, I want to see him beat up the starters on the Colts line

3. Robert Quinn as a full time starter- We know he can get to the QB, but how well is he learning to play containment?

4. Janoris Jenkins- Our #2 corner? We'll have to see

5. Non Rams related...but Andrew Luck! This will be the only reason why anyone will be paying attention to this game whatsoever. But still, as much as it annoys me, I want to see how well he performs.

6. Game management- No coach has been able to do this properly in the last 3 regimes for the Rams. I think the offense situation is taken care of, but what I'm more interested in is seeing how the defense coaches, aka the parliament, handles game management and how well they communicate.

7. Steve Smith- I really want to see if he's back to his old self, and if he's healthy.

8. How each individual does on the offensive line- I can't even really look for starters, because it seems like it's a big game of carousel right now. I really want to not only how well the starters do, but some of these backups as well. I have a feeling we may be seeing them in action at some point during the season.

9. Sam- I want to see how he looks in the new offense. Mostly as a comfort thing, but also if he's building up rapports with his receivers while calling the new plays. I still think the lockout had much to do with his down year last year. I want to see what he'll look like in a new offense with a whole preseason of studying it under his belt.

10. Isiah Pead- Heir to Jackson, or change of pace back for the next few years? I want to see how well he runs in Schotty's offense, which has been very good at running a 2 back system.

No post game analysis from this guy. I've learned over the last two years the pre-season doesn't mean squat. Especially after last year.

Here's to hoping we don't go 4-0.

Anyone see the Hawks new uni's? Can't tell whether it's an upgrade, or they just look more and more like the Oregon Ducks....

Braylon Edwards had a pretty sick catch, Russell Wilson didn't look too shabby either.

Apparently Rodger Saffold is warming up to start. We'll see if it's true.

Cheers fellow rams fans. Here's hoping for a clean game, and minimal injuries.

Not expecting a win. Just want the Rams to play tough and play mistake free football. Everything else will come into place.

That starting line up is wrong. Brandon Gibson isn't dressed... I don't think Jason Smith is starting either.
