2012 Draft Preview: Assessing WR Prospects For The Rams

Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon looks like the cream of the crop. We just published an early draft profile on Oklahoma State wideout Justin Blackmon over at This Given Sunday, and it’s interesting to note that Blackmon is already being mocked to the Rams at #3 overall in preliminary mocks (OptimumScouting.com). But then again, South […]

Who Should Be The Rams Next Head Coach

Let’s be honest, at this point Steve Spagnuolo is a dead coach walking. Even if the conspiracy theorists are right and Stan Kroenke is okay with tanking the season, making a move to Los Angeles that much easier.  I cannot imagine Stan is okay with failure of this magnitude. Regardless of the end game. In […]

Anatomy Of A Loss: Rams Lose The Game Of Inches. Twice.

I've tried to remain open-minded about the progress of this team.  I knew it would be hard for this team, with the schedule the Rams were given through the first half of the season, to have a better record than last season. But my faith in this team, its path and its head coach has […]

Rams vs. Cardinals: Big Plays & Big Decisions

Another game…another new way to lose. Dominating the game in nearly all areas the Rams had their share of big plays. Unfortunately nearly all of them came on defense. The game also featured numerous spots where decision making would come into play. As we have seen these situations do not always bring out the best […]

Steve Spagnuolo’s Grace Period Bookended by Losses to the Cardinals

Well, Rams fans, here we are again. Another Monday following an incomprehensible, expectation-defying loss. Where have we gotten to in our rebuilding plan? Exactly where we started from.  I think we can say now that coach Steve Spagnuolo is sitting squarely on the hot seat. One of the hottest in football. All of the mitigating factors […]

Parsing Sam Bradford’s performance: QB Rating by Receiver

Sam Bradford will bear the brunt of criticism for the Rams’ offense’s failure to get more points out of their impressive yardage. Sam Bradford’s mobility was a concern after missing two weeks and most of this one with a high ankle sprain. The Rams locked his foot up in some sort of boot/brace, though, and […]

Desert Shield: Rams test the Cardinals’ rookie corner and lose. Badly.

This game featured one offensive touchdown, two safeties, four or five cart trips, and six field goals — one blocked, and that made all the difference in yet another awful loss for the St Louis Rams under the Spagnuolo regime. There are three major classes of losses for these Rams: blowout losses to superior opponents, […]

Rams Fantasy Corner: Week 9 Arizona Cardinals

The Rams performance last Sunday against the New Orleans Saints caused a lot of fantasy owner to sit up and take notice.  For the first time all season Rams’ players were a force in Standard, PPR and even IDP leagues. With the toughest part of their schedule behind them can we finally get on board […]

Rams should pass on Luck

Sam Bradford is better than Andrew Luck and there should be zero consideration of drafting him if the Rams end up with the first overall pick.  Bring on the criticism, the second guessing and the obscenities because Rams fans need to get real about the semi-messianic hype Luck is receiving as the next “it” quarterback […]

Inside an Upset: Brandon Lloyd and a Critical 4th and Two

Trading for Brandon Lloyd has shown immediate dividends, but he is doing more for the Rams than just catch passes. After two years in Denver, he shows up in St Louis as the man who knows Josh McDaniels’ playbook better than anyone. That knowledge and a dose of veteran savvy both showed on coach Spagnuolo’s […]

Second Season: Where Do Rams Go From Here

In my post last week I noted the second season begins this Sunday at Arizona. Well, apparently the Rams were eager to get started. Opening the second-half (well kind of) of their season the way many expected them to do against the Eagles eight weeks ago. This next game against the Cardinals is still a […]

Inside an Upset: James Laurinaitis and an Inspired Linebacker Performance

A lot of things had to go right for the Rams to beat the Saints, but first and foremost, they had to build a lead. Everything about the Rams’ offensive and defensive gameplans, from their versatility in playcalling and formations to their aggressive pass rush, works better with a lead than when playing from behind. […]

About Chris Long and his baseball swing

With three sacks of Drew Brees on Sunday, Chris Long had ample opportunity to show off an array of post-sack celebrations. But it was the first one that caught everyone’s eye, especially those of David Freese and the World Champion Cardinals watching from the sidelines. After meeting James Hall in Brees’ backyard and dumping him […]
