• Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the St. Louis Rams have acquired Atlanta Falcons WR Laurent Robinson. The Falcons will move up in rounds 5 and 6 as the picks were exchanged.

Now that is news to me. He never really thrived in Atlanta but he has a chance to prove himself here.

 

[Coachnorm]

This is a move that provides a big opportunity for Laurent Robinson. Sometimes that is all it takes, don't know if we should use the s word here, but it does bear watching.

 

[Sgt John]

Id need to see how he works in camps.

It's so unfair, really. Us Miami fans hear not a goddamn thing out of the organization until training camp starts in July, but the team starts OTAs at the earliest possible date. I'm glad to hear things appear to be going well for St. Louis, my favorite aunt and her family are Rams fans and long time season ticket holders and if they pay what I suspect they do it must be hard to watch such a horrid product for eight weeks out of the year.
