Comments on: DID SHAW DRIVE RAMS’ DECISION AT NO. 2? http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/29/did-shaw-drive-rams-decision-at-no-2/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:21:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Bart http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/29/did-shaw-drive-rams-decision-at-no-2/#comment-22470 Bart Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:20:14 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/29/did-shaw-drive-rams-decision-at-no-2/#comment-22470 Seattle offered Wistrom a bloated contract that the Rams correctly didn't match. The Rams problem is that Mike Martz couldn't draft a defensive lineman to save his life and it set the team back several years. Dorsey is a beast and will probably be a better player than Long but DE was a position of major need, DT wasn't needed so much with Carrikar, Glover and Clifton Ryan.

Some teams draft by need others draft by best available, obviously the Rams go by the former.

If George W. Bush can survive almost 8 years as president for far greater missteps, I'm sure John Shaw will remain president of the Rams long after he realizes he shoulda taken Dorsey. “Mark my words: whoever ultimately decided to take Chris Long over Glenn Dorsey will be unemployed in two years… ”

Dorsey is gonna be a beast for years, and I predict Long will just end up being "another guy" out there in the Long run (get it? i kill me). I said the same sorta thing about Charley Casserly for taking Super Mario over Vince Young, and he now works for the NFLN (despite the fact that pick turned out great).
