Jimmy Kennedy DT for the Rams breaks leg

Jimmy Kennedy of the rams Broke his leg and looks lost for the season, Kennedy was the Rams 1st round pick in 2003. If I remember right he is about 6' 3" and weighs around 330lbs. (good promising nose tackle, will hurt the Rams big time)

This is a guy that we were seriously looking at drafting last year too. He didn't play much last year due to a stomach virus, from him loosing too much weight. He gained the weight back and was said to be looking great in camp.

Looks like another good break for the vikes in not picking him and getting kevin williams. The year before, we got lucky that we didn't get the guy we wanted, in ryan sims, instead we got mckinnie. Sims looks average at best out there and mckinnie, if he can learn to be consistent, should be a pro bowl LT very soon.

With Udeze falling to us because of an injury rumor and with EJ falling to the 2nd because of a back injury worry, the vikes have seem to have gotten some good breaks these last 2 drafts.

And as far as the rams D goes, they are in big trouble. They already lost wistrom in the offseason, now jimmy kennedy, and eventually they are gonna have leonard little suspended. Those are 3 good D-lineman that are gone, and they haven't done anything to replace them either. The rams IMO, are in big big trouble this year. They will look like the vikes of old, scoring 35 points and loosing because the gave up 40.

Also it will put added pressure on there db's because there wont be as much of a pass rush so the wrs will have more time to get open as well the qb less pressure and more concetration on finding the open wr.

Yeah, and I don't think they have very good DB's. Also don't forget that the rams lost D coordinator lovie smith as well. Their D will struggle big time this year!
