Bernie Miklasz had pretty positive comments about Chip Rosenbloom in the Post Dispatch today. Since Bernie's tendency is to be overly critical in addition to playing to the crowd's mood, I think this is very good news.
He doesnt think Chip will stay the owner over the long haul, but will absolutely do what is in the best interest of the organization while he has the team.
My interpretation is that if Chip thinks it's in the best interest of the team to politely tell John Shaw to step aside, he will do so. Bernie speculates that Stan Kroenke may eventually end up being the majority owner, which is also good news.
Chip Rosenbloom is apparently more knowledgeable about the organization than we in the general public would have realized, and he can 'hit the ground running' as far as speaking to and dealing with issues. These next few years may be very interesting for Ram fans.
Lets all stay tuned!!

The direction is 'UP'
We just went through the worst season in Rams' history, so there is only one direction to go, and that is UP.
We just got handed a new challenge when the whiners hired Martz as their OC, but let's dwell on the Rams instead of their opponents.
The next few weeks are key, I believe, and I'm counting on the right decisions being made to turn this organization around and get back to being a solid, competitive team. I sincerely believe Shaw and Zygmunt want to do what is in the best interest of the team, and I hope they carry through with that in mind even if it means reduced roles for both of them.
If Cam Cameron is to be the OC, so be it. He, like Martz, is a good coordinator who isn't cut out to be a head coach, and he will be a good addition in that role.
I believe Coach Linehan when he says he is going to take a long hard look at things, beginning with himself. That should apply to him and to his bosses, also.
The defense is in extremely capable hands, in my opinion, and I would like for Haslett to be around for a good long period of time.
Everyone rest up your vocal cords, and patch up all the dents and marks in your living room walls where your various missiles/objects hit while you were watching the Rams during this past season!!

Wait till Next Year
Some of the Rams will be much better for the force-fed(by injury) unexpected playing time they were thrown into this year.
One area of concern I see is the offensive line, many of those players were strictly stop-gaps who are unlikely to return in 08. Think Barron may be one who someone needs to light a fire under, if he only would sprout a work ethic, I think he has a ton of potential. Romberg is a free agent, and I would like to see him back.
If there isnt an emphasis on both offensive and defensive linemen in the draft, I'll blow a gasket. Zygmunt and Shaw need to back away from any final say on personnel decisions and let a football person be the decision maker.
As far as I am concerned, if Softli is fired, Zygmunt and Shaw can hit the road ahead of him. They are roughly 995% more at fault than Softli is. Makes me wonder if he's quietly told them to butt out of football decisions, and they chose to let him go rather than take some excellent advice.
