Marc Bulger,the highest paid player in the franchise,has been benched by head coach Scott Linehan.
Trent Green will now take over the starting QB spot for the Rams.

I am not suprised at all. He has not been playing that good and they got to do something to win some games now.

The Rams cut their ties with starting CB Fakhir Brown today,releasing him to free up some salary cap space to sign ex Saints CB Jason Craft.

I wonder if Rams head coach Scott Linehan will make it through the end of the season in St. Louis.
It's beginning to look like "Mutiny on the Bounty" in St. Louis.

End of the season? Next week (after the 4th game) is their bye week. If they lose this weekend, I think Linehan will get the ax.

They have a full scale mutiny there. Where your two most important skill players - Bulgers and Jackson - have signed off, you've got a real problem.

Hey Green, FYI, your team wore Blue and Greer is not one of your teammates, but thank you anyway for throwing that touchdown pass to him, what a momentum shifter. You're my second favorite Bill named Trent

While I tend to agree that once a Mutiny happens the head coach has to go... Sometimes the mutiny means the team needs to go as well!

If the coach is the only bad apple, then a new coach can right the ship... but I've seen too many situations where both the coach and players were at fault.

I used to tell folks that worked under my direction that the first time our team falls flat I'll get the benefit of the doubt because I'm in charge... the next time, I might get the axe because I didn't fix it... but after that, the team is in trouble because they can't point fingers anymore... so it behooves everyone to get on board unless the coach is just really really way off base.

A team in disarray. Changing the coach won't help this gang.
