Mark Setterstrom Out With Triceps Injury



Another Rams lineman, Mark Setterstrom is now down with an injury. Mark Setterstrom injured his elbow Friday in OTAs. It has now been found that Setterstrom has a torn triceps. This is the same torn triceps injury Mark had in 2009 that finished his season, this one most likely will end his 2010 season. With Jacob Bell already down with a knee injury and now Setterstrom out the Rams once again have huge offensive line issues. The Rams are already going to have issues trying to start rookies at both tackle positions, and now their depth at Guard is seriously in trouble. This is not the ideal situation for Sam Bradford to start.

2006 St. Louis Rams Draft - A Look Back



The 2006 St. Louis Rams draft has turned into an absolute disaster! If you wonder how a NFL team can fall behind the curve in talent and depth look no further than the NFL draft. The Rams drafted Tye Hill, Joe Klopfenstein, Claude Wroten, Jon Alston, Dominique Byrd, Victor Adeyanju, Marques Hagans, Tim McGarigle, Mark Setterstrom, and Tony Palmer in 2006. Of the nine draft picks only Victor Adeyanju & Mark Setterstrom remain on the roster at this moment. Tye Hill is the only member of that class that has contributed anything. Hill played in only 28 of 48 contests in his three years on the roster due to injuries. Hill touted as a playmaker out of Clemson always could run side by side with a receiver with his great speed but continually was unable to make the play. In addition the drafting of not one but two Tight Ends in one draft is a noticeable mistake. Looking back with my 20/20 glasses on, perhaps Greg Jennings, Devin Hester or Maurice Jones Drew would have been a better pick than Joe Klopfenstein. Joe contributed 33 catches and 2 touchdowns while with the Rams. Now the Rams find themselves floating around in their life raft waiting to rebuild their roster. Be patient Rams fans one day the rescue chopper may fly our way in the form of..............Sam Bradford?
