The post in which I thank you.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=wLtKYFP-Zso The lockout ended, football came back, and all the pent-up excitement for this Rams season has been overflowing the last few weeks. We’re setting all kinds of personal records for traffic on the site, we’ve got five authors now contributing quality material every week, and we just got nominated as one of St. Louis’ […]

Fun with Computers: Predicting the Rams’ 2011 Season

“I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.” Long-time readers will remember our surprise last year, when a computer-modeled simulation of the NFL season had the Rams slated for a maximum of three wins, and holding a top-three […]

Rams Practice notes: Donnie Avery returns, is still Donnie Avery

Rain threatened to make an appearance at Rams practice today, but never showed up. Donnie Avery did make an appearance at practice, but did he “show up?” Not yet, no. Avery’s return to the field seems to be the big story, and he caught a pass from Bradford (while running with a second-team offense) in […]

Rams Reset: Preseason Week 2 vs the Titans

The Rams most likely won’t be tested by the Titans’ most dangerous player. Chris Johnson continues his contract holdout. This week the Rams turn their attentions away from their nice game against the Colts, and toward the Tennessee Titans, who come to town for the second preseason game of the year this Saturday. Here’s a […]

Rams over the salary cap: three players on the bubble

With the Rams hard up against the cap, who’s on the bubble? NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora published a list of all 32 NFL teams’ standing against the salary cap this morning. A surprise on the list? The Rams, not the free-spending Redskins or Eagles, are the only team of the bunch currently over the cap. […]

Looking West: Running off the rails in San Francisco

In his seventh season and working with his seventh offensive coordinator, Alex Smith is still no closer to becoming a legitimate starting quarterback. There’s something going haywire in San Francisco, and I’m not talking about the BART riots. (Seriously, did the whole city fall into a Cory Doctorow fever dream?) The San Francisco 49ers, arguably […]

Rams Rookie Report: Preseason Week 2

Lance Kendricks catches the game’s first touchdown pass. AP photo, Tom Gannam. The Rams’ first preseason game was an unqualified success, and their incoming class of rookies made contributions, top to bottom. Let’s review and highlight some performances of note. Lance Kendricks emerges as a weapon. In practice, we’ve seen Lance Kendricks line up all […]

Breaking Down The Big Plays & Big Decisions

Preseason is officially underway. Even if one has not seen a game or has been living in a cave the last few months this weekend left no doubt that football is back.  You need to do nothing more than turn on ESPN, NFL Network or any other program this morning and you’ll see an analyst […]

Rams vs Colts: Inside a game-changing play

The Rams’ preseason was only a few plays old when one of the team’s new defensive signings and one of their players on the bubble made their presence felt, as CJ Ah You pressured Colts backup quarterback into an looping throw that sailed over his intended receiver and into the hands of new free safety […]

Making the Grade: Colts vs. Rams

The first 2011 preseason game is in the books and we have our first look at the new and improved Rams who beat the Colts 33-10. Like any beginning of the preseason, there are only glimpses of the first team offense and defense but here is my first set of grades for the team:  Quarterbacks: […]

Rams vs Colts: View across the sidelines

Peyton Manning is on the Colts’ PUP list following neck surgery and won’t be playing. We know what to expect from the Rams in this week’s inaugural preseason game. But what about those dastardly Colts? Borrowing from fellow Bloguin site 18to88.com, here is a quick scouting report of this week’s opponent. The Rams D-Line could […]

Rams vs Colts: Things to Watch For

Tomorrow evening marks the moment we Rams fans have been waiting for since that disappointing loss against Seattle in Week 17 season: the opening of the 2011/12 Rams season. The team opens the preseason schedule against the Indianapolis Colts, a team that doesn’t seem to take the preseason too seriously. There’s a chance that due […]

RamsCamp: Notes from a rain-shortened Friday

WIth Ben Leber (59), Spagnuolo has a lot of new toys to play with at linebacker. He just needs to figure out what to do with them all. A lot of people came out to Rams Park, only to be shooed home early as rain and a touch of lightning descended on the area. However, […]
