Been told RT Joe Barksdale remains interested in re-signing w/Rams, but there have been no talks today.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Get a new agent Joe. You should have already signed.

 

[Stel]

He may be interested but he better buy his ticket pretty soon because the ship is getting ready to sail.

Thank the Lord he did. That level of white thigh can burn right through the eyes!

No one should need a welders mask to evaluate a QB prospect...

 

[Dodgersrf]

I've never heard that, but completely believe it. Pretty funny.

He waited too long. I'd rather the Rams get a veteran LG, let Saffold play RG, play Havenstein at RT - that way there's an experienced player next to each inexperienced player on the line.

Barksdale has to realize that even if he signed, he'd end up a backup at some point.

I mean, if he's cheap enough, sure. I guess. But he badly overestimated his market, and the Rams spent their second rounder on a guy they expect to take his spot.

Who's left guard in this scenario?

Sign Blaylok and let him play LG and put Saffold @ RG.

I predicted he would be in a bad spot after the draft. His only real hopes are a team that's desperate with the need or an injury in TC or the Rams. His best bet, in my mind, is sign with the Rams now in a prove it deal along with our new o line and look towards next season.

So Robinson at LG?

 

[shovelpass]

So Robinson at LG?

Blalock at LG, Robinson stays at LT.

 

[RamzFanz]

Blalock at LG, Robinson stays at LT.

How did I misread that? I see.

Hey Joe since you went off to explore other teams the Rams moved on already. Rams went out & got Five brand new Right Tackles in Garrett Reynolds, Rob Havenstein, Jamon Brown, Andrew Donnal & Steven Baker .........where do you fit in?

 

[Mackeyser]

I know already that Havenstein takes fewer penalties than Barks...

 

[lockdnram21]

Bye Bye Barksdale. Shouldn't have over estimated his worth. He should have been took the deal that was on the table. If he comes back he will be a backup again.
