[Hey Man]

About the Rams wanting to extend Foles contract, I am good with that, because I have seen him play every game somewhat ( i have two tv's going when the Rams and Eagles play at the same time) and I think he is a better fit in the Rams offense the he was in Chips. Running that Pistol or what ever they call it is meant for certain types of QBs as we have seen in the West Division. Fish runs the traditional offense which I am a fan of seeing. I feel by watching his play when he was under Reid that he was a better fit ( the so called West Coast Offense). Fish likes using the variation of the west coast offense. I think Foles style of play in more of the traditional. Imagine the Mannings in the Pistol

The Tavon interview pissed me off a little. "Going from 12, 13 touches a game in college and not getting to play now is tough." Not getting to play? Not getting to play? Last I checked you play plenty. Try getting in position to make plays.
