Please, Trent doesn't deserve this.
From ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3604491
"Bulger completed only 52 of 89 attempts for 519 yards in this first three games, but pass protection has been the big problem. He's been sacked 11 times."
It's *only* 11 sacks because the Seahawks only got to Bulger one time last week...
One ESPN theory is that this might mean OC Saunders is the likely candidate to replace Linehan *when* he gets fired: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcwest/0...-benching.html
"The Rams signed Green during the offseason because Green knew Saunders' offense and because Green is an experienced passer with established leadership skills.
The Rams need to protect Green, whose history of concussions makes him a high-risk starter. Green, 38, started every game for the Chiefs when Saunders was their offensive coordinator from 2001 to 2005. Green has passed for 27,950 yards and 162 touchdowns in 15 NFL seasons. His career passer rating is 86.9.
Bulger, 31, has two touchdown passes, two interceptions and a 73.2 rating in three starts this season. The Rams rank 31st in total offense, 31st in yards per pass and 32nd in third-down conversion rate. Opponents have outgained the Rams by 763 yards this season.
St. Louis has averaged only 9.7 points per game this season. Bulger wasn't the only problem, but management apparently wasn't ready to fire Linehan just yet."
