Rams CB Aqib Talib, on NFL Network just now: "I had a great visit with the doctor today. It looks like the week after Thanksgiving, I'll be full speed, ready to go." Rams have a bye in Week 12, then play the Lions Dec. 2, three games from now. They sure could use him.

I don't know why the Rams would go all the way to Colorado Springs when there are venues much closer, within driving distance even, that would allow them to practice at a higher altitude. Shit, Rim of the World High School is only 2 hours away and it's at 6k-6.5k. :-) [Reply]

I wouldn't....ever.
Not w/ this offense.
If you can get stops early in the game, which are more likely to happen when players aren't as tired...you have potential of getting 14pt swings at the end/start of the half if you play it right. At a bare minimum you possibly get 2 extra possessions your opponent otherwise you not get. [Reply]

This take may have been influenced by the parlay of large amount I was convinced I was going to lose. But I still am not that impressed with them [Reply]
