That's how I recall it too.Nah, he was really, really bad with the Bucs his last year too. Some people just thought he needed more time to recover from the knee injury and he'd be okay, turns out that wasn't the case.

I don't understand the interest in Wisniewski. Other than being young and durable, he doesn't seem to be a highly rated Center.
I would prefer to make Barksdale and Blalock priorities and go after Reese Dismukes from Auburn in the 2nd round and let him compete with Barret Jones.
These two are smart enough to taker over the line calls and will have at least 3 veterans around them for support.
Multiple better options than Reese Dismukes, too. The C from FSU looks good. He's a converted LT.
C'mon man - where's the blue font?But the Center from Florida State (Cameron Erving) did not attend Auburn like Dismukes so GM Les Snead might not feel that way.

Why? Barnes and Jones have had their chance and haven't made anything of it, and I just don't get the love for Rhaney I've seen from some on here.The interest I have in the young Stefon Wisniewski is as the starting OLG not the starting center. IMO the Rams will have one of these three as the starting center in 2015....Tim Barnes, Barrett Jones or Demetrius Rhaney. The fact that Wisniewski can play center is a big bonus for us as well.
I would also desire that we sign Blalock too so the Rams can be 3 deep in starting OG's. I might need to remind everyone here that in college the 6-4 330 pound Blalock was a starting Right side OT for many seasons before moving into the OLG post in the NFL. So the right side would not be Unfamiliar to Blalock. The real concern with Justin Blalock is how strong is his back & moving forward is this back issue chronic declining health issue. If healthy Blalock should provide much better pass blocking & run blocking from one of the Ram OG posts than we ever got from Davin Joseph.
Now if the Rams come up empty in free agency for a right OT & are forced to seek a starting ORT in the draft ......Rodger Saffold now can shift outside early in the 2015 season until our newly talented drafted rookie is ready to take over.
I still would prefer that the Rams do not seek the return of Barksdale as starting ORT.

Is that one of those blue/black vs white/gold things? Cuz that font looks white to me.

I thought the Rams released Barnes? Do you think they will re-sign him? I am still keeping my fingers crossed that somehow the Rams can sign both Wisniewski and Barksdale!
