Josh McDaniels To The Rams: See Ya, Hate To Be Ya
0 comments by Will Horton on 1/7/2012
How much time will Josh McDaniels spend looking back on his time as a Ram? 30 seconds, give or take. Well, that was quick. For a few days, Josh McDaniels was the lone member of the St Louis Rams coaching staff, after all of his bosses and co-workers were relieved of their duties. For the […]

0 comments by Derek Pease on 1/4/2012
The Rams have not fired offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as of Monday. This point was emphasized by Rams COO Kevin Demoff and has since sparked both curiosity and debate. NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora confirms that the Rams “would like to retain” Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator. Owner Stan Kroenke is a prominent McDaniels backer and […]
Requiem on Steve Spagnuolo: The Little Things Didn’t Add Up To Big Things
0 comments by Will Horton on 1/2/2012
Steve Spagnuolo approached his job as head coach of the Rams with a simple mantra: do the little things right, and the rest (i.e. winning) will take care of itself. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get the little things right. And the rest did not, in fact, take care of itself. Bernie Miklasz wrote yesterday […]
Too Little, Too Late: Rams Lose The Last Game Of The Devaney-Spagnuolo Era
0 comments by Will Horton
Steve Spagnuolo walks the Rams sideline for the last time. Ultimately, the particulars of this game will matter far less than this: @mortreport Rams will fire coach Steve Spagnuolo and GM Billy Devaney, per team source. The first hatchet to fall in post-game action fell just hours after the St Louis Rams had finished adding […]
What Should The Rams Do With Top Pick
0 comments by Derek Pease on 12/28/2011
For the sake of argument let us assume that fate shines on the Rams this Sunday in their game against the San Francisco 49ers. Granted a loss here should not be difficult to come by with the 49ers still battling for the overall number two seed in the NFC. But to be on the safe […]

The big news of the game: Ben Roethlisberger will not play, despite the fact that the Steelers’ playoff positioning could still swing dramatically in the season’s last two weeks. Analysis: don’t worry, they’re playing the Rams. Kellen Clemens and the Rams will be leaving the comfort of the dome for punishing 34 degree temperatures and […]

0 comments by Will Horton
Justin Blackmon may not be a Julio Jones, but he could have a Julio Jones-type impact as a rookie for the Rams next year. For those of you looking ahead, Matt Miller and Andrew Kulha of Bleacher Report and the 4th And Long NFL draft podcast devoted a special edition of their show to the […]
The Protection Or The Playmaker
0 comments by Derek Pease on 12/22/2011
This week’s great debate, chicken and egg style. Which comes first, the protection or the playmaker? Does a great OT make the QB and WR combo or does the Play-maker at WR make the QB and tackle look better. It’s an age old question. And with USC OT Matt Kalil declaring for the draft an […]

Rams-Bengals Recap: Same S***, Different QB, Different Day
0 comments by Will Horton on 12/18/2011
Kellen Clemens showed nice mobility, and the ability to get up from a series of big hits. Necessary qualities for a Rams QB. The Kellen Clemens era began for the St Louis Rams on Sunday, and unfortunately for Rams fans, it followed pretty much the same script as the rest of this dysfunctional season. Start […]
Rams Pay Tribute To Marshall Faulk: Once More, With Feeling
0 comments by Will Horton
The St. Louis Rams will be donning their throwback uniforms in tribute to Marshall Faulk, and contemplating a quest familiar to the beginning of his days here: taking an unknown quarterback into battle against a superior foe. To me, the linchpin of the Rams success in those years wasn’t Kurt Warner, though he was obviously […]

Despite their team’s record and the winter chill, the St Louis Rams are going to do their best to bring the love back into the Dome this weekend. It’s Marshall Faulk’s Hall of Fame enshrinement celebration, and the Rams will be decked out in their throwback blue and gold for the occasion. During the Greatest […]
To Keep Or Not To Keep Spags…That Seems To Be The Question
0 comments by Derek Pease
Pepsi & Coke, Imo’s & Cecil Whittakers, Ford & Chevy. St. Louis has had its share from great debates throughout the years. Now a new one has taken the Metro area by storm. To keep or not to keep Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo. A debate as polarizing at the Hatfield–McCoy feud. You are either […]
On Keeping Spagnuolo. Why Show Blind Faith?
0 comments by Will Horton
Would keeping a “loser” actually help change the “losing culture” at Rams Park? There’s no doubting that the St Louis Rams have taken a disastrous step backwards in Coach Spagnuolo’s third year. How can we possibly build an argument to keep him? Bear with me while I explore some thoughts. Wednesday, on his radio show, […]
