Ridiculous to even speculate this early, yet we probably can do most of it right now. How many spots are actually up for grabs? And of course, the way the practice squad works nowadays it's not quite the same as it was but still.

Boston Scott gives the Rams their kick returner. He's got breakaway speed. He takes that #3RB slot.

[safer]

We need to shore up our inside backers. Hope we trade for another starter there.

Dont disagree with much of this, though I think the Rams may keep Bruss over Thomas. Figure Thomas can make it to practice squad. The next couple preseason games will tell a lot. Plus dont you have to keep a 3rd QB since Jimma is out the first 2 games??!

Yeah, she's looking long term. It will, most likely, be Stafford and Stetson to start the year, Jimmy G. won't count against the 53. Question is, will Stetson get the boot before then and what happens when Jimmy G. gets back?

I think these last two preseason games are big for Tre Tomlinson future as well...
