Rams Sign Mr. Gado, Promote Mr. Irrelevant

One move was obvious, the other not so obvious as the Rams moved David Vobora up from the practice squad and picked up free agent running back Samkon Gado to provide depth at running back with Jackson, Pittman and Minor hurt.

Rams resign Fakhir Brown

The Rams announced the resigning of cornerback Fakhir Brown today, as the Rams cornerbacks continue to get thinnner and thinner.  This was a no-brainer for the Rams brain trust ( Haslett and Devaney *thank god!*) as Brown was uncerimoniously dumped by ex-head coach Scott Linehan in a failed attempt to shake up the team before [...]

*Cornerback Fakhir Brown, who started in Tye Hill’s place Sunday at Seattle, was released Wednesday morning. Hill was back in the lineup at practice.

Fakhir Brown Cut

The “changes” in the offense complete, the eye now turns to the defense and Fakhir Brown has been cut by the Rams.  Fakhir is the scapegoat for the defense and as with Bulger with the offense.
