Reading this excellent article by Jason Cole at Yahoo Sports, “A Step-by-step Guide to Drafting a Quarterback,” I see a series of red flags for the Rams as they consider trying to find their quarterback of the future in this year’s draft. Perhaps ironically, these red flags correspond to the three steps of Cole’s advice […]

Nick Wagoner at StLouisRams.com had a chance to sit down with the preeminent scout on Twitter, Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks), for an interview on how the Rams should approach this year’s draft. Unfortunately, I can’t link the story directly, as the official blog of the Rams doesn’t appear to support individual permalinks. So here’s a series […]

*swoon* Early in Senior Bowl week, I developed a pretty strong man-crush on a certain road-grading offensive guard from Idaho. But I was hardly the only one. Since then Mike Iupati has been generating tons of pre-draft hype, and is expected to rise well above the #33 overall pick, where I was hoping he would […]

Josh Johnson… a dealbreaker? All the chatter between RamsHerd and What the Bucs about a possible deal between the Bucs and Rams has, from our perspective, centered on one critical question — does the deal make sense? Judging from the results from our Facebook poll, at least five Rams fans think so. Now, though, there’s […]

Our city’s most prominent architectural feature .. a big frowny face? … and you can blame the Rams (and Blues) for dragging us down. According to Forbes, how our pro sports teams do is a leading economic indicator (emphasis mine). Our Misery Measure takes into account unemployment, taxes (both sales and income), commute times, violent […]

Following up on yesterday’s offer to Bucco40 at What The Bucs, I’ve received an initial parry from him. He’s showing a little, shall we say, “reluctance.” Surprising? Here’s his response, and my attempts to sway him after the break. Interesting you raise that point as reports today say that Bucs GM Dominik has stated his […]

Here’s an update on the First Annual FanBall NFL Mock Draft (click to follow the thread at the RotoJunkie forums): 1st: RamsHerd selects DT – Ndamukong Suh (Nebraska) 2nd: Roar of the Lions selects DT – Gerald McCoy (Oklahoma) 3rd: What the Bucs selects S – Eric Berry (Tennessee) 4th: Paint it Redskins selects OT […]

Could Spags be angling back to NY? ProFootballTalk picked up on an item in the latest Bernie Bits column, and turned it into a tiny seed of a nightmare. When Steve Spagnuolo agreed to become the Rams’ head coach, he had an opt-out clause inserted in his contract. If the franchise got sold, Spagnuolo would […]

RamsHerd selects Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The Rams don’t lack for heart, and they don’t lack for grinders. If they were a hockey team, they’d be full of fourth-liners. But aside from Steven Jackson, the Rams don’t have a monster talent anywhere on the field. This pick addresses this need with the biggest monster […]

An all-too familiar sight… In a post last month, we looked at the disturbing trend of season-ending injuries suffered at the Edward Jones Dome. How bad was it? The Rams IR’ed players after each of their first four home games, and every game thereafter saw a Rams player go down with an injury that led […]

FanBall is going to be mocking the first round of the draft by polling each of the writers for each NFL blog on the network, which puts RamsHerd on the clock. Naturally, I reached out to the network of Rams fans on Twitter to see what they thought. My question: Who’s your #1 right now […]

One of the shortest stints of ownership in Rams’ history may actually have been one of the most productive, despite a paucity of wins. Check out this timeline of events that occurred under the watch of Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez, and reflect the positive culture of change that they brought to this team. (Updated […]

For the first time since Bill Bidwill, St. Louis will have a locally-owned football team. According to Bernie Miklasz, who has been consistently on the forefront of coverage of the Rams’ ownership situation, Illinois businessman Shahid Khan will become the majority owner of the Rams. So I suppose we can put to rest all of […]

According to TMZ, there will be no criminal charges filed against Steven Jackson from Supriya Harris’ complaint against the Rams’ running back. “Las Vegas police tell us there’s simply not enough evidence to move forward with the case,” says the article. Given that there was no physical evidence, since the police were never called, it […]
