Rams Meltdown Continues Unabated

Rams running back Steven Jackson isn't happy with the team's 0-3 record. He's not happy with his performance so far. And he's really not happy with the decision to bench his boy Marc Bulger in favor of Trent Green.

And when Jackson isn't happy, no one puts him in the corner. Jackson popped off about the quarterback switch on his show radio show, "Rolling the Dice":


Jackon said benching Bulger was the "wrong decision." "He's our general," said Jackson, who then pointed out that you don't pay someone "$60-something
million" and then sit him on the bench. (Bulger was signed to a $65 million contract extension prior to the 2007 season.)

Jackson wondered aloud about what will happen when it's time for Bulger to return to the starting lineup. Jackson intimated strongly that Bulger would be unwilling to do so. Team sources did in fact tell the Post-Dispatch on Thursday that Bulger no longer wants to play for coach Scott Linehan. Bulger has declined comment for three
consecutive days since his benching became public knowledge.

When asked by the radio show's host, Malcolm Briggs, if there were other Rams players who were against the benching, Jackson paused and replied, "I'm not the
only one who feels this way."

Probably nothing to worry about. Scott Linehan has it under control.
