The Rams’ run defense gave up 223 yards to Beanie Wells, making this the second time this season that the Rams have allowed an opponent to set a new franchise rushing record. Wells’ performance joins Demarco Murray’s atop the NFL leaderboard, and there is now little to look forward to but the draft. And open […]

Patrick Peterson won round one of his matchup with Brandon Lloyd. The Cardinals’ rookie corner allowed only 3 catches on ten passes to Lloyd, and came away with an interception. What can the Rams do differently in round two? This is a big test for Lloyd, who made an early splash with the Rams but […]

Looking back 12 weeks ago just prior to the opener against the Philadelphia Eagles the fantasy potential for the Rams seemed legitimate and promising. Whoops. As the season has progressed the opportunities that have presented themselves have been few and far between. Spagnuolo and McDaniels, along with the injury bug have all done their parts […]

Another week, another shuffle in the roster. Mark Clayton’s grueling comeback from patellar tendon surgery — mostly done on his own, and on his own dime — ended disappointingly as the WR never got back to full game speed. The Rams placed him on IR yesterday, and have reportedly (according to Martin Kilcoyne at KFNS) […]

As I write this I am fully aware and prepared that this will be the least popular and poorly received post I have written to date. I considered penning it under a stage name as to protect myself and family from further persecution and shame. Yet as I put pen to paper, rather keystroke to […]

The grass is truly greener on the other side, at least for players who leave St. Louis. Several players released by the Rams in the last two seasons of the tenuous tenure of the Spagnuolo-Devaney regime have gone on to prosper for other teams. This speaks to the state of the Rams in a whole […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=LTbASqoqH3Q In the wake of this howlingly bad loss to the Seattle Seahawks, blame is being spread around like melted butter on a hot pan. Fire Spagnuolo. Fire McDaniels. Fire Devaney. And those are the big targets. This season is too far gone to pick on lesser targets like Ken Flajole and Steve Loney, men […]

No trick plays necessary for the Seattle Seahawks. A punishing defense was more than enough. The offense couldn’t get anything going and again wasted a solid defensive effort. Sam Bradford completed just 20 of 40 pass attempts, was sacked five times, fumbled twice and threw an INT. Steven Jackson saw his three-game streak of 100-yard […]

The St Louis Rams came into this game riding a small wave of momentum, winning two games and nearly locking up a third in the last three weeks. Steven Jackson had been running as well as he had in any three-game span of his career during that span, cracking the 125 yard mark in all […]

The first matchup between the St Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks matches up two teams so badly ravaged by injury that they are barely recognizable. By the time they meet on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, the network programmers might just as well play the first twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan. The visual result will […]

In recent weeks, the Rams rushing attack has taken off. Call it an adjustment on the part of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Credit SJ39 for finally being healthy. Whatever it is, it is working. The Rams have called on Steven the last three weeks and he has responded very well. SJ39 has had 81 carries […]

Justin King has been the Rams’ iron man at cornerback this season. Whatever evil curse Andre Curtis (the Rams’ defensive backs coach) picked up during the lockout, he might want to go about setting things right. Return the jewel-encrusted eye to the withered old woman in New Orleans, or burn that monkey’s paw, or take […]

In what was essentially a 3 hour battle of field position the St. Louis Rams came away winners in nearly the same fashion they lost just a mere seven day ago. Via a field goal attempt at the end of the game. In the NFL a win, is a win, is a win. And that […]

We like playing CSI here at RamsHerd, especially when strange things happen, like the Rams getting a win. The white lab coats, the sunglasses, the snappy dialog, and those millions of CBS viewers. This week’s mystery: did the Browns lose that game, or did the Rams actually win it? Central to the mystery is whether […]

With 151 total yards, Steven Jackson accounted for more than half the Rams’ total offense in an ugly win. Sam Bradford earned his first ever fourth quarter comeback today against the Cleveland Browns. Here’s how he did it: Drive 1: Incomplete (negated by tripping penalty on Goldberg), Incomplete, Delay of game, 7 yard pass on […]
