Demoff Q & A
Posted by: UCityGuy
The Rams hosted a lunch and Q&A with Demoff for season ticket holders before OTA's today at Rams Park. Demoff confirmed what has been reported previously that there are no discussions with anyone about a new stadium and any discussion could take quite awhile because the various stakeholders have yet to agree on the need for a new stadium, much less who would pay for it.
Demoff said the starting O-line is projected to be Jake Long -LT, Robinson-LG, Wells-C, Saffold=RG and Barksdale-RT. No plans to move Robinson to tackle this year. Longer term (1-2 years) look for Barrett Jones to replace Wells and Robinson to play left tackle. The reason they drafted Mo Alexander is because they were able to work him out beforehand and Coach Williams thought he would be a perfect fit for his defense- a safety/linebacker hybrid.
Injury wise both Bradford and Long are expected to be ready to start the season. He said Bradford could start now but they are going to ease him back. Both Long and Bradford were practicing today. Bradford looked good throwing the ball and he is a big guy. #81 (Britt) skied for a nice end zone catch in traffic.
Talked briefly to Steve Savard who thought the Rams have a chance to make the playoffs if they stay healthy. He said our defense is championship caliber but the offense is still questionable. Savard said he is impressed with Shaun Hill who he views as an upgrade at back-up QB over Clemmons. Hill looked good throwing the ball in drills.
Good to see the team back on the field.
