Case Keenum not cleared; Rams to go with Nick Foles again
“Complete failure to adhere to the protocol”, Winston told USA Today on Tuesday.
On Sunday, after the Rams dropped their fourth straight, a 31-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Fisher snapped at reporters who questioned his team’s effort after the drubbing, telling them they could “kiss his (backside)” for even wondering such a thing.
Keenum was clearly hurting after the play and was grabbing his head and rolling on the ground after his head snapped back and hit the turf. However, despite losing, they know that Bailey would have loved to be in the locker with them. “Because when a player doesn’t do something that he’s supposed to do, he gets fined for that when it comes to health and safety”. Fisher also was the main voice in wanting quarterback Nick Foles. Fisher says the player had a plane ticket Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving with his mother in Atlanta and then return to the Rams. Winston thinks that was a mistake. If the Rams don’t start the former Oregon State quarterback and go ahead and draft a quarterback early in next year’s draft, the team is basically giving up on Mannion and saying that he was a wasted third-round pick. Roethlisberger self-reported a concussion last weekend against the Seahawks.
“You might just be on overdrive”, Winston said.

The NFL and NFLPA scheduled a mandatory conference call last week with all 32 head athletic trainers to discuss the concussion protocol following the Keenum incident.
While Foles was the starter for that win on the road against Arizona in October, both of these teams are vastly different from the first time they met. The Cardinals are looking to prove a point, while the Rams are looking to keep their jobs going forward.
