St. Louis Rams: The Rams have released defensive back James Whitley and added defensive end Erik Flowers, a former first-round draft choice of the Buffalo Bills. Flowers was the 26th overall selection in the 2000 draft, has played defensive end and linebacker at various time in his career, and is still regarded as having some pass rush potential.
It is likely that Flowers, who has never fulfilled his potential in stints with three different teams, will be used primarily on special teams. The St. Louis coverage units have struggled much of the season, allowing five scores, and coach Mike Martz has vowed to address the problem.
The Rams also signed two players, wide receiver Michael Coleman and defensive end Nick Burley, to the practice squad. Because of salary cap constraints, St. Louis currently is playing one man under the 53-player limit for the active roster. In addition, the Rams have just four practice squad players, one below the maximum permitted by the league.
amazing how much size and speed will do for you, even if you are not a real football player.
