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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Whether it was the Rally Squirrel walking a few blocks north on Broadway, a New Orleans Saints team perhaps a bit too convinced of their upcoming dominance or a St. Louis Rams team deciding that it had finally had enough. Whatever the cause a Rams team anticipated by so many showed up at the Ed […]

Elation. Euphoria. Excitement.  Words used to describe NFL powerhouses like the Packers but words that were rarely uttered anywhere near St. Louis until today. The lowly Rams hosted the supercharged Saints and took every punch New Orleans threw, emerging from the dust with a 31-21 victory. The Rams seemed to finally put it all together, […]

No one gave the 0-6 St Louis Rams a chance of covering a two-touchdown spread, let alone winning the game against the New Orleans Saints. Especially with Sam Bradford sitting out for the second week in a row. Today’s game, scheduled to start four hours before the St Louis Cardinals’ victory parade downtown, seemed like […]

I don’t live in St. Louis but I have to assume by now someone has filed a missing persons report for what were supposed to be the young leaders on this Rams defense.  Fans shouldn’t be surprised to see names and pictures of guys like Chris Long and James Laurinaitis plastered on milk cartons, players […]

Sitting at 0-6 and staring 0-7 right in the face it can be difficult to look ahead. But the Rams have to do just that. My advice would be to actually look past the Saints, this week’s opponent, and start thinking about week nine in Arizona. I understand rule 1 in sports is to not […]

Jabara Williams was released by the Rams this morning. Billy Devaney came to the Rams in 2008, and took charge of the team in January 2009. He was empowered by Chip and Lucia Rosenbloom to clean house, and he did so, top to bottom. But he preached patience at the time, pledging to rebuild the […]

Steve Spagnuolo rushed through his Monday afternoon press conference, leaving the podium after three questions and leaving several topics unasked, hanging in the air. He is sticking to the “missed tackle” message from his post-game conference, placing the blame squarely on his players on defense. He even offered a little nugget for the stat crowd, […]

In his Ram debut Brandon Lloyd had 6 receptions for 74 yards with a long of 34. Lloyd showed to be a nice upgrade over free-agent bust Mike Sims-Walker. Some bright spots for Lloyd were his ability getting downfield and gaining separation from coverage. Unfortunately Feely struggled getting him the ball in those opportunities. But […]

Going into Sunday for their game against Dallas the Rams knew they would have an uphill battle ahead of them. Dallas was coming off of tough last minute loss to New England and still in the hunt for the NFC East title. The Rams were coming off of a blow-out defeat at the hands of […]
