On there being more to the Rams offense than Cook, Givens and Austin
"Ya, I think that's a big driving factor for anyone," Pettis said. "When you're forgotten about by players on your own team you just want to go out and compete - not just with the other team but with your own teammates - because it just makes everyone better. As you can see we have a lot of weapons on this offense. There's going to be some who get the ball more than others each game depending on what the defense gives us.”
On Pettis' game against Atlanta
"It was really good to get (Pettis) back involved," quarterback Sam Bradford said. "He had a great spring. He had a great camp. Unfortunately we just haven't been able to get him the ball as much as he probably deserves so it was nice to see him have the game he had."
I know people don't think Pettis has what it takes to be a starting receiver for the Rams, but it should be apparent that this offense isn't about labeling a guy the #1, #2, #3, or even the X, Z, or Y. It's all about creating matchups and getting someone isolated in man coverage or in a favorable matchup. I think Pettis is still developing, personally. And I think he that if continues to be "the forgotten man", that he'll make some people pay for it. I also expect to see him continue to produce as he gets more involved. OTAs are over. Preseason is over. It's time now to focus on what he brings in real game situations.
