St. Louis benching Bulger, going with Green

[Gerk]

I'm sure this will solve all their problems

Pressured to shake up an offense that ranked 31st in the league, Rams coach Scott Linehan benched Marc Bulger on Tuesday and has given the starting job to Trent Green

Linehan made the announcement with a one-sentence statement Tuesday. He won't comment until his normal press conference Tuesday afternoon.

Bulger completed only 52 of 89 attempts for 519 yards in this first three games, but pass protection has been the big problem. He's been sacked 11 times. Bulger is only 19 games into a six-year, $65.1 million contract signed in the summer of 2007.

Green, 38, is in his second tour of duty with the Rams. He was with the Rams in 1999 and 2000 before making stops in Kansas City and Miami.

With his longtime offensive coordinator Al Saunders running the Rams offense, Green decided to sign on to be the Rams backup. Now, heading into Sunday's game against the Bills, Green will be the starter.

Yep this solves their problems


Well I guess in one way it does, instead of Bulger heading to the trainers room it will be Green instead. Really hope Green's medical insurance is paid up, have a feeling behind that swiss cheese offensive line he is going to need it

I Look For The Rams To Fire Linehan After This Weeks Game Vs Buffalo And Promote Saunders.

Trent Green is going to get killed behind that offensive line and he is one good hit away from being done forever. Linehan is obviously desperate and trying anything

Now that Bulgar is on the bench, maybe the defense will actually stop someone. I mean he is the one that is giving up on average 38 points a game

Definitely agree with this statement here. The offensive line couldnt protect Bulger and I dont think they will protect Green. Although he has been around the league and has plenty of experience, I still dont think he can help get this offense going.
