*** The Offishul Sam Bradford in the NFL Thread ***

[Collier11]

Just a few minutes before kickoff, I sure hope the Rams O-line can keep him Sam upright, I cant believe im excited for a Rams game either

[SunnySooner]

Go Sam!!!

And Mark!!

[Collier11]

Bout to have his 1st possession

[olevetonahill]

Im waitin patiently fer the Fightin Elis to get off the TeeVee

[Collier11]

This ^

[Collier11]

1st NFL pass a completion for 13 yards to Mark Clayton, put him in the HOF!!!

[C&CDean]

We just go an inch or two of rain, so instead of cutting hay, I get to watch Sammy. My only bitch is why in the **** ain't the Packers on the tube?

[Collier11]

Cus of Sam. In the Rams last preseason game KOCB got a 8.1 rating which is HUGE for a preseason game, purely financial for Fox. They have said they will show every Rams game that Bradford starts as long as it doesnt conflict with the Cowboys

[OUthunder]

We just go an inch or two of rain, so instead of cutting hay, I get to watch Sammy. My only bitch is why in the **** ain't the Packers on the tube?

Dean, if you are a DirecTV customer you can watch them on channel 713 for free with NFL Sunday Ticket Free preview weekend.

[sooner518]

i wish i got this game in DFW instead of the Packers Eagles

[Fiatil]

So this is what Fox's last string announcing team sounds like huh? I'll endure it to watch Sam.

[Collier11]

Bradford looks crisp but its obvious that the Rams really lack any weapons outside of Jackson

[OUthunder]

Bradford and Clayton brings back great memories.

[Fiatil]

And there's his first pick! Nice grab though.

[Collier11]

Great play by Wilson, it was bound to happen

[StoopTroup]

CRAP!

[ouduckhunter]

We're getting the NFL Sunday Ticket free today as part of some DirectTV promo. This may be one of the only Rams games that we get here at the house this year. We'll have to go be bar flys for the other games, which we're happy to do!

Go Sam!! Go Rams!!

[sooner59]

I have Adrian Wilson as my defensive player on FFB. I hate to get those points.

[StoopTroup]

Throat punch for the Iowa State comment.

[ouduckhunter]

Throat punch for the Iowa State comment.

That's what we just said too!! That was a sucky comment!!

[OUthunder]

Throat punch for the Iowa State comment.

Ouch, but it's true, lol.

[StoopTroup]

Ouch, but it's true, lol.

How the hell is it true?

You want to say Florida...I might understand that....but Iowa State? really?

[proudsoonergal]

For those of us stuck with the Packers/Eagles game, what was the Iowa State comment?

[bluedogok]

He isn't throwing against Iowa State anymore, the defense closes faster in the NFL.
Something to that effect.

I have the Rams game on the big screen (I do have Sunday Ticket all season) and the local Fox station here has the Packers-Eagles game, that is on the small screen.

[OUthunder]

Announcer said that this isn't Iowa State anymore, it's the big boys in the NFL after Bradford's pick. I got a chuckle out of it myself, albeit a cheap shot.

BTW, Philly 3 GB 0. Rodgers sacked x3 already in the 1st quarter.

[OUthunder]

BTW, are the Eagles green uniforms an uglier shade of green or do I need to adjust my TV?

[bluedogok]

Packers player #91 helped off the field, looks like a knee injury or something like that.

[ouduckhunter]

Bradford to Clayton! Nice!

[Collier11]

Clayton proving to be a nice safety valve for Sam, the Rams need someone who can stretch the field though which is tough with this protection

[ouduckhunter]

That was an ugly sack!!

[sooner59]

Clayton just dropped what would have been a TD. Dammit.

[yankee]

and that drop is the reason why clayton was cut from the ravens. he's way too inconsistent.



man i cringed when that safety smoked sam a couple of plays ago. took him an extra second to get up. right on that right shoulder too. :O

[proudsoonergal]

BTW, are the Eagles green uniforms an uglier shade of green or do I need to adjust my TV?

Nope, uglier shade of green.

And what's up with the helmets? Bleck.

[Collier11]

Damn, Clayton may have been gone on that play but a drop :(

[C&CDean]

I fear for Sammy's life. All a D has to do is pin em' back and come after him. He has about half-a-nano second to get a throw off, and then he tosses a perfect strike...and Clayton drops it. ****.

[instigator]

I fear for Sammy's life. All a D has to do is pin em' back and come after him. He has about half-a-nano second to get a throw off, and then he tosses a perfect strike...and Clayton drops it. ****.

Definitely. It is looking scary for him so far.

One good thing is that Clayton might have a great year. Sam seem to be looking for him a LOT.

[Collier11]

Great throw there

[yankee]

sam recovers his receivers' fumble!!!

[meoveryouxinfinity]

sam recovers his receivers' fumble!!!

bossanova.

[SoonerPr8r]

Nice fumble recovery by Sam!

BTW not a Sam play but here is Gresham's first TD of his career Look familiar? (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d81a75ba8/Gresham-1-yard-TD)

[Sooner04]

Nope, uglier shade of green.

And what's up with the helmets? Bleck.
The Eagles are honoring the 1960 NFL Champions today. That Philadelphia team included Chuck Bednarik, Norm Van Brocklin and our very own Tommy McDonald.

Know who they beat to win the title? The Green Bay Packers!

[goingoneight]

What was the "Iowa State comment?"

[meoveryouxinfinity]

I can't believe some people thought that EMU (Clausen) would have made a better NFL qb. Everyone is now on their knees for Sam now. Kinda like when some of yall thought Keith Nichol should be the starter.. Until a 79-10 W over North Texas...

[sooner59]

Anyone else hear them talking about how Clayton would leave Baltimore during the offseason and come back to Norman to train with Sam? So maybe Sam requested the Clayton trade. Sam may try to make Clayton the Rams' #1 receiver.

[sooner59]

The Rams defense is ugly.

[adoniijahsooner]

Definitely. It is looking scary for him so far.

One good thing is that Clayton might have a great year. Sam seem to be looking for him a LOT.

I picked Clayton up on my FL

[instigator]

Nice fumble recovery by Sam!

BTW not a Sam play but here is Gresham's first TD of his career Look familiar? (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d81a75ba8/Gresham-1-yard-TD)

Thanks for posting that. He looks like just as much of a physical freak in the pros as he did here.

[bluedogok]

The Rams defense is ugly.
That's putting it nicely.

[instigator]

Damn! They just pulled the internet stream I was watching.

[Collier11]

Gotta wonder why Steven Jackson only has 7 carries, not good coaching IMO

[adoniijahsooner]

Damn! They just pulled the internet stream I was watching.

I know right? I hate not having a satellite dish!

[sooner59]

Clayton with a false start. ughh....

[Collier11]

Bradford needs to stop locking in on Clayton, im sure he will see that in film sessions

[goingoneight]

What was the "Iowas State comment" that got a few riled up?

[StoopTroup]

Looks like a catch to me

[Collier11]

read on page 2, its wasnt that big of a deal

[SunnySooner]

I'm watching here...

http://www.pinoycable.net/2010/09/2010-nfl-season-watch-free-live-stream.html

Had to download a player, but seems OK so far.

[yankee]

mark clayton!!! :eek:

[Collier11]

What a throw and catch, wow!

[sooner59]

NICE!

[StoopTroup]

What was the "Iowas State comment" that got a few riled up?

Sam threw an INT and the doosh in the box said "Sam might get away with throws like that against Iowa State but not in the NFL".

I can see blasting a guy...even saying that was a bit of a Rookie mistake....but to equate Sam to College Level play when he just won the starting job and is lighting the AZ defense up at times.....what an idiot.

Nice catch by Clayton there. Looked like an Iowa State defense there. :D

[Rickety_Syd]

Big time pass . . . big time catch!

Bradford to Clayton.

[SunnySooner]

THERE's the Sam we know/love!! Go baby!!!

[StoopTroup]

Another Clayton catch!

[yankee]

soooo close.

[sooner59]

Going for it, this is a big play.

[sooner59]

You have Steven Jackson....use him.

[SoonerPr8r]

Steven Jackson

[Collier11]

Even if you dont get it, it sets a tone for your team

[goingoneight]

Go for it... show some power, St. Louis! Punch it in!

[yankee]

240 pound pro bowl running back from the 1/2 yard line. better get this.

[sooner59]

TD!!!!!!!! Sammy B.

[yankee]

TD PASSS!!! SAM BRADFORD!!!!!!!

[Collier11]

TD gangstas!!!

[StoopTroup]

GO CYCLONES!

[Fiatil]

Wow, awesome TD pass.

[Collier11]

I realize they are only playing the Cards who arent as good as they have been but Sam doesnt look like a rookie QB for the most part

[landrun]

YES! Way to go Bradford!!

Look at the confidence the coaches have in this young rookie!! :)

[Okie35]

WAY TO GO SAMMY!!!!

[landrun]

I got work to be doing but I'm addicted to OU football and can't keep from watching Bradford on Sunday and college football all day saturday.

[StoopTroup]

I realize they are only playing the Cards who arent as good as they have been but Sam doesnt look like a rookie QB for the most part

I've been thinking that all the way through Pre-Season.

[Collier11]

16/26, 139 yards, 1 TD and 1 int in the 1st half.

I think for the Rams to have a chance to be decent, Sam needs to throw the ball about 30 times a game and Jackson have 30 carries. This 26 and 8 in the 1st half wont work

[landrun]

Bradford has a 60% completion percentage his first half of pro football. Not too bad.

[sooner59]

I was getting the feeling that they were going to try to suck em in with Jackson and roll Sam to see what he's got. Well....he's got em a TD.

[SunnySooner]

I guess I'm a full on Rams fan now, gotta watch my Sammy. Oh well, I didn't get much done on Sundays anyway.;) :D

[MojoRisen]

Glad to see his first offishul Career TD Pass! He and Clayton are a making me pretty happy today.....

[adoniijahsooner]

Love me some Sam!!

[StoopTroup]

Love me some Sam!!

BOOMER!

[ocsooner]

I realize they are only playing the Cards who arent as good as they have been but Sam doesnt look like a rookie QB for the most part

Totally agree with this. the other thing that scares me is what happens when that O line goes up against a real defense???? They are letting a lot of big men through.

[Collier11]

Getting lots of hype from the FOX guys, Jimmy J and Terry B

[sooner59]

Poor Sam. :(

He is a tough dude, that's all I can say.

[ocsooner]

Sam is taking some shots. They are really going after his shoulder there.

I don't care so much with other quarterbacks, but leave my man alone!

[sooner59]

Collier, your SF defense is getting hammered.

[yankee]

Poor Sam. :(

He is a tough dude, that's all I can say.

thank God that doctor who did his surgery is so good. it's taken an absolute beating today.

[instigator]

That late hit by Calais Campbell might have been payback for the beatdown in Norman. :) It looked like it was a painful one too. I cringe everytime he falls on his shoulder.

[Collier11]

Collier, your SF defense is getting hammered.

and Matt Schaub didnt have to pass much due to Foster, bad day

[sooner59]

Is that 2 fumbles by Bajema? I like seeing Oklahomans in the NFL, but he won't last if he keeps that up.

[btk108]

The media is loving him. Every other word is Sam Bradford.

[rawlingsHOH]

Mike Vick still has JETS. Wow!

[Collier11]

Yep, looks like Kolb has already been benched

[sooner59]

and Matt Schaub didnt have to pass much due to Foster, bad day

You have him in another league? You started Favre.

[yankee]

Yep, looks like Kolb has already been benched

nah, he got knocked out by a concussion.

[OUthunder]

If the Rams had a playmaker at receiver, they might be playoff bound. Clayton is pretty much it at receiver and they can't run the ball very well right now.

[Collier11]

You have him in another league? You started Favre.

Oh yea, ive got 4 teams so sometimes I forget who is on what team :D



nah, he got knocked out by a concussion.

Gotcha, still, Kolb wasnt doing much

[instigator]

Yep, looks like Kolb has already been benched

I think he has a concussion.

Oops. I'm a little late.

[sooner59]

Well, whoever is playing QB for Philly needs to get the ball to Celek.

[Collier11]

saw that coming, lol with the big boy

[sooner59]

Great play by C.J. Ah You erased by a fatass who couldn't just dive on the ball.

[proudsoonergal]

Are the Rams OU-North?

[sooner59]

In other NFL news...

Anybody else think Calvin Johnson and the Lions got hosed by the refs? If that call is correct by the rules, then the rules need to change. That was a catch, I don't care what their explanation is. I am Lions fan or Bear hater, I just recognize BS when I see it.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Video-Controversial-rule-strips-Lions-of-first-?urn=nfl-269035

[Collier11]

yea, sh*tty call

[Collier11]

Can Sam lead a GW drive in his 1st pro game?

[okiegirl]

Just listening to the radio, it sounds like Brad is doing great other than that one int. And Clayton, who I loved is doing good, minus his one drop.

[Collier11]

Both are exceeding expectations

[okiegirl]

:(

[Collier11]

tough loss, Bradford will get better but he doesnt have a ton of help

[btk108]

he's got to get some pass protection.

That Bradford-Clayton hook up is SAWEET. Great to see former Sooners makin the plays.

[okiegirl]

what was Sam's red zone stats? Anyone know???

[instigator]

Damn that sucks. He had to take a chance and was getting nailed again. He got hit a lot today! He did still get up to make the tackle though. Nice opener for a rookie.

[Ping]

fumble!

[Collier11]

hey hey, another shot here

[bluedogok]

Well..in the NFL you have to hold the ball for for a few minutes for it to be called a catch in the end zone. They have such an extreme interpretation of the rule that it is ridiculous.

Hopefully StL gets the ball back on this review.

[instigator]

Fumble! Give Sam another shot!

[btk108]

ruled a fumble....I dont think they have proof to overturn

[sooner59]

Not sure it will stand.

[sooner59]

Wow.

[We-TownSooner]

woo call stands

[proudsoonergal]

Bonus coverage of Sam! WOOHOOO!!!

[instigator]

Second chance!

[HBick]

I saw on the punt earlier that Gilyard made the tackle, but was nursing his right wrist, but he's playing so it can't be too serious. BUT HERE WE GO, MAKE EM PAY SAM

and MC has had more looks today than I think he ever had with the ravens in a game

[okiegirl]

I KNOW you guys know the red zone stats for Sam..that's why I have been a trolling member for years...so anyone give them up, Plz???

[instigator]

I KNOW you guys know the red zone stats for Sam..that's why I have been a trolling member for years...so anyone give them up, Plz???

I'll never tell!

[okiegirl]

I'll never tell!

One of the reasons, I have always liked your posts, dirty bastage!!

[sooner59]

P*** poor game management by the coaching staff.

[goingoneight]

If Spag called a timeout earlier WITH A ROOKIE QB, "Hail Mary" is probably delayed by a few plays, but a nice game to learn and grow on.

[instigator]

55 passes for a rookie in the opener?!?!? Don't they have a bad *** running back??

Nice opener Sam.

[StoopTroup]

prOUd of OUr guy.

He's going to do well IMO.

[SunnySooner]

Really poor clock mgt., duh. Too bad he couldn't get the W, but they don't look like a team that will go 1-15 this year. He played well, just needs some people that can catch the dang ball, hitting them in the hands.

[jkjsooner]

Well..in the NFL you have to hold the ball for for a few minutes for it to be called a catch in the end zone. They have such an extreme interpretation of the rule that it is ridiculous.

Hopefully StL gets the ball back on this review.

We had a play like that against Texas a couple of years ago where our receiver took two steps with the ball and went to the ground and lost the ball when he hit the ground. The weird thing is that I didn't think college has that rule.

[bluedogok]

You're right, college has a much different interpretation of the rule. The NFL is just extreme on the possession in the end zone but not as much so in the rest of the field. There was a similar issue in a NFL game about 10 years ago or so I first remember it being interpreted in that way.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Says alot about the Rams when their best receiver just joined the team this past week

[StoopTroup]

I need Maron Barber to run for 3000 yards and 30 TDs in the 4th qtr.

[sooner59]

I need Maron Barber to run for 3000 yards and 30 TDs in the 4th qtr.

I need Romo to throw for those numbers. Between you and me....I think we're both screwed.

[StoopTroup]

Between you and me....I think the Cowboys are screwed.


Opps....juggled snap!

Hell.....who knows....maybe that will change momentum.

[goingoneight]

Orlando Scandrick, Dez Bryant and Tashard Choice are killing them (their own team) tonight.

[goingoneight]

Pass Interference should have been voided with the tipped ball there.

[goingoneight]

Dallas couldn't possibly get a luckier break than that fumbled "hold." Still blanked so far.

[goingoneight]

Big surprise, TFRW can't wrestle a ball away from a guy way smaller than him.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I can't believe I picked Romo for qb

[47straight]

I can't believe I picked Romo for qb

I thought you were the grand pro scout know-*******!
