What did Torrence say to Haslett? I mean, you must know, the way you are railing on him for "talking the talk," right? Because if you don't know what was said, and still made that statement, I'd have to say you are just bitching to try and make yourself feel better. Won't help.

This was Jim Haslett's first game in the post-Scott Linehan reign of terror, and apparently, the former informant and Saints coach is serious about turning things around in St. Louis. You see, in addition to coaching up the troops, Haslett also leads by example.

Late in the third quarter Sunday, as a shanked Durant Brooks punt headed down field for Washington, Redskins "gunner" Leigh Torrence was blocked out of bounds by the Rams.

"We jammed him out of bounds," Haslett said. "He was coming on me, so I figured it was me or him. If he was going to run me over, I was going to get him. So I got a good shot on him."

That's right, the head coach of the St. Louis Rams appeared to get a little shove in on Torrence during a game. That explains why Torrence and Haslett were jawing at each other on the sidelines after Brooks' punt went out of bounds. ... "I didn't want to get run over," Haslett said. "You see those coaches that get tackled? That wasn't going to be me. ... It's not a big deal. But really, I was not going to get run over."

First, I think it goes without saying that any ball coming off Durant Brooks' foot is probably a shank. Second, I saw the highlight of Haslett and Torrance flapping their gums and while it was sorta funny, I didn't think much of it.

Until Torrance gave up a 43-yard pass play to rookie Donnie Avery on that last, fateful drive, to set up the winning Brown field goal. The lesson, I guess, is this: scrubs should be seen and not heard -- even against the Rams -- because anything can happen.

If you guys want to have a conversation about whether the offense or defense had more of an affect on the outcome of the game, then please just start another thread... or post it in the post-game...

Thanks.
