It didn’t take offensive genius Scott Linehan long to figure out what was wrong with his potent offense.  “My job is on the line?  Time to make some adjustments in places that don’t need it!”  Linehan has gone 1999 on the NFL’s candy ass and has benched Marc Bulger in favor of former Rams legend Trent Green.  Remember the last game Trent played in a Rams jersey?  I do.  I bet Rodney Harrison does.  After all, it was Harrison who blew up Green’s knee in a meaningless preseason game and ended Green’s season, ushering the Kurt Warner era.  I think we know how the story goes from there.

Not one to give up on a dream, Green has triumphantly returned to take back his starting job with the St Louis Rams nine years after that fateful day.  He might not have an offensive line, a defensive line, a secondary, a good linebacking corps, or any good offensive players beyond Torry Holt and Steven Jackson, but that’s besides the point.  The main problem with this team is at quarterback!  Duh!

Marc Bulger has been sacked 11 times already this year.  Marc Bulger has a QB rating of around 70.  Marc Bulger isn’t the problem with the Rams.  But dont you dare tell that to Linehan or Trent Green.  This is Trinterception’s team now.  He can’t go out like he did last year.  A concussion won’t slow Trent down.  And besides, isn’t seeing eight receivers instead of four a good thing?  Doesn’t Trent need that kind of cushion?

Trent Green isn’t going to save Scott Linehan’s job and everyone knows that.  Lets just hope he doesn’t go out like he did last time, laying on the turf wondering what the hell just happened.
