Coach Spagnuolo wants the Rams to be judged on their 2009 team only and that sounds good when he hasn’t been in St. Louis for the past 3 seasons.  As the Rams continue to make the same mistakes as the previous regime, they will be judged with the previous seasons.

Coddling Richie Incognito – check

Giving out high-priced free agent deals to players that don’t deserve them – check

Missing assignments on defense – check

A confusing game plan on offense that does nothing that the coaching staff has been saying all along – check

An offensive line that is supposed to be improved, but is still getting Marc Bulger killed on every pass play – check

A declaration to get Steven Jackson move involved in the offense, then throwing the ball more (and never to Jackson himself) – check

Coach, you ask us to judge the Rams on only 2009, but the reason it is so hard for us is that the 2009 problems are the same as the 2007-2008 problems.  “The team played with heart out there” gives us nothing.  Until we see the Rams not get their butts kicked on Sunday, you will be judged with the other failed Rams regimes.
