    Rams: Faulk sent home

    Rams' head coach Mike Martz sent Marshall Faulk home yesterday when the running back showed up at practice with the flu. "He's got the flu bug," Martz told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "He was going to come and practice, and (I told him), ‘Go home, go to bed.' He's been down for a couple of days. He can in and got some medicine, got the game plan, and went back home." Faulk is listed as probable on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Faulk is said to be on the road to recovery, as he was actually feeling worse on Tuesday. He should be healthy before Sunday, but it's possible that rookie Steven Jackson will take more carries than usual, if Faulk is physically drained by the virus.

  2. Maybe we should give MM a mulligan here. He is a rookie. We chalk mistakes by rookie players up as "learning experiences." Moreover, the game was out of reach. He had nothing to lose by making any subs. He could have put his mother in as QB, and we'd still be in the same boat today. Maybe MM was trying to see what Losman could do totally cold, off the bench.

     

    Nah, fire him and bring in Weiss ASAP.

  3. I agree with five out of six, but I doubt more than one of the six will take place. My prediction:

    1. Would have happended by now if it was going to happen this week.

    2. Won't happen, period. TD would leave and get hired by another team within days. Not that that is a bad thing, but it means Mr. Wilson won't able to make the suggested moves.

    3. This is quite likely, and for good reason.

    4. JP will be on the bench at 1 p.m. Sunday. I doubt he starts a single game this year. But I personally agree -- he should start against the Rams.

    5. Smith should be gone, but he won't be. We have no where else to turn. Tucker is all right.

    6. I think McGahee is the real thing. I agree that Travis has been done wrong, but bussiness is bussiness.

  4. He is done, and he even knows it. When a player comes out makes it clear that he no longer has confidence in own abilities, any coach worth the price of his whistle should pull the plug. It is over for Drew, who I, like many, many others, think is a very good guy.

     

    Why is that these guys who mellow out, get married, have kids and stop stage diving turn into has-beens all of a sudden on the field? Drew needs to get drunk, go party and bust up a bunch of people's faces.

     

    Remember when Jim Kelly was bar hopping in Buffalo and Niagra every night? He was throwing 80 mph water balloons at women! And he was the best damn QB on the planet. Then he married Jill and had Hunter. The Bills went straight down the tubes.

  5. the term "STARTER" is overrated.  With so many special situations on offense, the only thing it does is stroke an ego.

    Reed could start 16 games over Evans yet still finish the season with fewer plays.

    I completely agree. Coming in off the bench will not hurt Evans' ego, but it would be a big blow to Reed's. This is without a doubt the correct thing to do. MM did good.

  6. Willis may be the victim here of being goating into saying some stupid things to a reporter. It happens all the time to athletes, especially young ones.

     

    On the other hand, if Willis really feels the way he is shown in that article, he'll be a distraction in the locker room, on the practice field and on the sidelines.

     

    I vote to run his arse out of town.
