It was all smiles early for Jerome Murphy at practice on Friday. Unfortunately, it didn’t end that way. It was a good news-bad news day at Rams Camp today. The good news is that the scorching 100-degree heat has finally broken, the cooling clouds and rain parted, and the field drained off nicely so we […]

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a recurring series that looks at the moves being made (or not) by our esteemed NFC West opponents this offseason. Next to Michael Crabtree, Braylon Edwards seems like a quality guy. Or maybe it’s supposed to be the other way around. So far in free agency, the 49ers […]

New Rams contract signees like safety Quintin Mikell, forced to the sidelines, have been the last hostages of the NFL’s convoluted CBA process. Remember when the NFL lockout ended? You know, at 3:30 today? Yeah, that was cool. Not so cool for a busload of signers of new contracts with the Rams, including returning players […]

marshallfaulk Just touched down in Canton! It is time!!!!!!!! With Hall of Fame induction ceremonies slated for this weekend, the NFL Network ran its tribute to Marshall Faulk last night. On Twitter, we followed suit, and spent all evening asking for Rams’ fans favorite Faulk moments, and RT’ing all responses. And in the process, we […]

Cadillac Williams’ name has been in the wind in the last 24 hours as a veteran option to back up Steven Jackson in St Louis. And earlier today, Billy Devaney dispensed with the smokescreens and admits: “We’re trying to get him.” We mentioned him yesterday as a “Plan C,” with Ronnie Brown going (with everyone […]

As longtime readers of the site know, I love football and I love infographics, and I especially love when they come together. I've even been known to create one or two, whenever I can carve out some spare time. RamsHerd reader Sean Lind of Slip and Tackle might just have raised the stakes, though. He […]

Could Jerious Norwood stand alone as Steven Jackson’s backup? According to Tony Softli, former Rams personnel man now working for 101Sports.com, the Rams have all but signed former Atlanta Falcon Jerious Norwood. He’s taken a physical, and even an official team photo, and is at Rams Camp today presumably working through details of his contract. […]

Rams fans, get ready to be showered with Haterade from ESPN. Shocking, I know. Okay, first off, a disclaimer. ESPN obviously doesn’t entirely hate the Rams or Sam Bradford, or the ratings this rising team will pull in for their two Monday Night Football appearances this year. But they’re more than willing to stoke the […]

What do Ronnie Brown and Jerious Norwood have to do with an underwater ninja, you might ask? This has not been your typical offseason for the master of the poker face, Rams GM Billy Devaney. Typically the Rams are less like sharks in the water, flashing the tell-tale dorsal fin as they circle their prey, […]

The first weekend of Rams training camp was a little more sparsely attended than last year’s opener, which was fueled by Sam Bradford mania. I have a feeling that a lot fewer folks are driving in from Oklahoma through the baking heat. But the contingent of hard core fans remains strong, the friendly Rams PR […]

Brandon Gibson and his signature pink sneaks have been all over the practice field so far. Year three is when wide receivers are supposed to put it all together. The Rams’ newest wideout, Mike Sims-Walker, knows all about that. After two injury-marred years in Jacksonville he exploded for 63 catches, 869 yards and seven touchdowns […]

I wasn’t able to get to Rams practice today, but one who did was Zach Roman, known by his Twitter handle @BlazinBox. And he just might have come away with the juiciest tidbit of the day. BlazinBox Shook devaney’s hand, and he said at least one more move coming “hint it begins with a R […]

If Sam Bradford is the unquestioned star of the Rams, then new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is the unofficial star of Rams Camp. Where Pat Shurmur was all but invisible to fans as a personality on the sidelines the last two years, the fiery McDaniels is standing out from day one. He was in Bradford’s […]

Mike Sims-Walker stands tall, but not yet head-and-shoulders above the rest of the Rams’ receivers. A lot of thoughts went through my head when I heard that the Rams had signed former Jaguar and perennial “breakout candidate” Mike Sims-Walker, but all of those thoughts eventually boiled down to a single word. Why? That simple take […]
