Holt shocked about Bulger benching
With "madness'' swirling at Rams Park, receiver Torry Holt is trying to put aside the turbulence after the team's 0-3 start. Holt and other players were shocked this week when coach Scott Linehan benched quarterback Marc Bulger and made 38-year-old Trent Green the starter. In another move, Linehan cut veteran cornerback Fakir Brown. Holt says his focus is on trying to beat undefeated Buffalo (3-0). The Rams host the Bills on Sunday. But he and teammates are still getting over Bulger's demotion. "I was shocked, man, I was really shocked,'' Holt said. "I went up to Marc immediately and apologized to him as a receiver and for our receiver group and the offense for not making enough plays to give him an opportunity to stay on the football field with us.''

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The coach is probably trying to save his job and will try anything to keep it.

Why do coaches think by changing the QB will fix the problems of a bad team?

aap - they dont. Scott Linnehan is just trying to save his job. The coaching staff is largely at fault here, as is the GM.

The problem with the Rams has nothing to do with the players. It has to do with the fact that the Rams coaching staff is terrible as is their GM. This is a last ditch effort for them. I figure after this week Linehan and Lewis will both be out of work.

Most coaches do the play calling, but the players have to be the ones to execute the plays. I have nothing against Bulger, but maybe this will give the team a spark.

Send Bulger to the Patriots for a couple of low picks. Or trade for Cassel straight up!

I love Bulgar. It is good for you and has a lot of fibre.
This wheat product is common in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine and is catching on in Central America. Most NFL teams are already in tune with this energy enhancing grain.
