Title: Rams - Faulk out 4 to 6 weeks
Post by Callie on Sep 22^nd, 2003, 6:32pm

They say it's firm. And they say Bulger gets the start again next week. I picked up Gordon for some help in a needful RB situation (low on the draft first round!) Any thoughts about Gordon?

Faulk is out with a broken hand, but he will also be undergoing knee surgery during this time too. Martz said that the knee will heal quicker than the hand, so this is why they are doing it now.

I stayed away from Faulk in every one of my drafts. I know many people were hyping him (and Warner), but I felt the risk for injury was just WAY too high.

I wouldn't put too much stock in Gordon either. If Martz wouldn't run the ball with Faulk in the lineup, what makes you think he'll do it now with a backup? I expect the Rams to keep throwing.

Faulk is out. Good pick-up. Judging by Faulk's numbers so far, he can't do worse.
