Hello Everyone,

Here is a "How To" guide on being a sucessful franchise with the St. Louis Rams.

Step 1: At The Beginning of the season, you must aquire a good LB core, and you can suceed in this step bu putting SS O.J. Atogwe on the trade block. (wait til week 1 and put on trade block for a MLB 88) Jerod Mayo should pop up (need lastest roster) and you can trade OJ for J Mayo (MLB 88) Brandon Meriweather (FS 88) and Adalius Thomas (OLB 86).

This would be a realistic trade granting the Pats are getting older and looking to rebuild through the draft by lowering their Cap.

Step 2: Change your settings in the first year to 70% Running. (Allow S Jackson to explode and make Bulger look like an odd man out).

Step 2 1/2: Aquire a Powerful #2 back. (Suggestions S. Greene, L. White, Or J Stewart)...Best bet would be S Greene because he is young and grows very quick.

Step 3: (Off-Season) MUST release anyone who has C potential (espiecially Randy McMichael) and free cap space for up coming draft. Try to aquire a mediocre DT in F/A or wait til draft if you please.

Step 4: (Requires Draft Classes) Aquire a QB of your choice, (Usually top 10 pick) and make that guy your future (C. McCoy,T. Tebow Etc..)

Then Draft (TOP TEAM NEEDS) not players you like, or such as a Dez Bryant who may be a 5th round selection in some cases.

Step 5: In Beginning of Season 2, Get a Talented (79-85 OVR) WR who can hold your offense and pass game together with D. Avery. (J. Jones,P Garcon,A Collie,Etc..)

Step 6: After these steps, you must build off your talent and draft skills.

ONE MAJOR RULE: Do not sign players who are OVER 30 years of age unless they are Superstars, keep your cap low!


Thank you!

I like the raiders more than the rams to rebuild.... The cap situation in Oak makes for fun.
