Steve Spagnuolo inherited one of the most talent-bereft rosters in the NFL and the Rams' 0-3 record bears proof. But he's been consistently positive and hasn't changed course or threatened to, instilling trust with players, many of whom won't be around to see whether he can turn around one of the most inept franchises over the past few years. Steve Wyche puts Spag's rookie season...

The Kansas City Chiefs acquired wide receiver Lance Long off waivers and promptly placed him on the practice squad. Two weeks later and the team is reportedly looking into activating him to the 53 man roster. A credit to Long or a shot at the Chiefs current crop of receivers?

Suffice it to say that Hall was not happy. Anyhow, here's how Wyche described Hall being shopped in a trade at the time: The Newark Star-Ledger...

... would have been willing to ship him out with the right offer. Apparently that offer didn't come. Steve Wyche of NFL.com also spoke with two GMs on Friday and reports that "there would not be much interest around the league because of his repeated character issues."

... position, I think anyone they release has a good shot at clearing waivers. On September 28th, Steve Wyche of NFL.com reported that the Chiefs were thinking about promoting Long. He's a "Haley guy" (whatever that means) so the thinking was that the next available spot on the 53 man roster would be his. Nearly a month later and he's there. Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com isn't...

These aren't the Rams or Chiefs or Buccaneers, who knew they were going to struggle because of turnovers and talent issues. These are the Titans, who seemingly have a nice blend of experience and youth, toughness and finesse and trust to be anywhere near the brink of playing a make-or-break game in October.
