Rams Replace Injured Bennett With 35-Year-Old Eddie Kennison

The word from St. Louis this week is that the Rams are the worst team in the NFL Drew Bennett is out for at least a month with a broken bone in his foot. Bennett was attempting to fill the void left by the departed Isaac Bruce in the offense formerly known as a "show" of some sort. The obvious next in line would have been explosive-at-times rookie Donnie Avery ... only Avery didn't even suit up Sunday against the Eagles and the team still isn't sure he'll be able to play this Sunday. Lucky break for him, really. Who would want to suit up and be embarrassed?

Anyway, the Rams logically decided upon bringing in the ancient Eddie Kennison. It's hard to call Kennison washed up, because he was never really that good a player anyway. But wait, Rams fans, there is hope:

From the 2002 through '06 seasons, Kennison averaged 58 catches for 961 yards for Kansas City. He was released by the Chiefs following an injury-plagued 2007 season, but has stayed in touch with Rams offensive coordinator Al Saunders, who was his coordinator during most of his time in KC.

Wow. Talk about grasping desperately for any shred of positivity.

It's apparently going to be a long season for the Rams, and Scott Linehan better start working on that resume.
