Austin Pettis has been loud in practice, quiet on gamedays so far in the preseason. The writing is on the wall for the Rams’ rookie WRs. Prior to yesterday’s game, Jim Thomas look at the Rams’ countdown to cutdown and wrote that both Salas and Pettis are on the bubble to make this team. CBS […]

Lance Kendricks and the Rams receivers scored well this week – as did the rest of the team. Quarterbacks: A- Sam Bradford was flawless on the first two drives. Flawless is not my opinion, it is fact. 8-8 for 76 yards. By the end of the second drive, he had a couple of key third […]

In this match up of cross-state rivals with the Governor’s Cup on the line, we should see starters for both teams playing well into the third-quarter. This will give us a […]

Last year, the Rams and Chiefs began to emerge from their respective franchise dark ages to become two of the annual surprise contenders in the NFL. Following a combined 2009 record of 5-27, both teams from the show me […]

Some quick thoughts as I prepare to brave the heat and/or rain for the Rams’ last open practice of the season, at 12:30 today. Mardy Gilyard has been getting every chance to prove he belongs on this team, but his primary showcase is the now-outmoded kickoff return. Nearly 75% of kickoffs have landed in the […]

As football games go, the Rams’ 17-16 win over the Titans was like a cheap burrito. Sounds satisfying, but if you look inside you’ll find a lot of questionable stuff. For the Rams’ rookie class, Saturday’s game featured some good, some bad, and some just plain unhealthy things that we’d sooner not see again. Greg […]

The second game of the preseason is in the books and the Rams are off to a 2-0 start. Preseason is preseason, but fans and coaches will take it. The Rams put up sixteen fewer points against the Titans this Saturday than the previous week against the Colts but came away with the win. As […]

The Rams’ backup QBs, A.J. Feeley and Thaddeus Lewis (pictured) might have outplayed Bradford this weekend. Photo by Ed Szczepanski/Getty Images. Quarterbacks: B- This grade was actually brought down by Bradford, who I thought looked good almost of his throws, but didn’t do as well of a job getting rid of the football. If Josh […]

Austin Pettis heads for the corner of the end zone in a red zone drill. The preseason is only two weeks old, but already a troubling narrative is emerging for rookie wideout Austin Pettis in a Rams uniform: awesome in practice, disappears on gameday. After running routes from all three wide receiver positions and earning […]

There’s no shortage of history between these two teams. New team, same quarterback. That’s the story this week as Matt Hasselbeck and his new team, the Tennessee Titans, come to town for a preseason matchup. Tennessee comes in with a new head coach in Mike Munchak, as well as new offensive coordinators, and several new […]

It has been a month of firsts. First practice, first scrimmage and finally the first preseason game. Since the Rams 33-10 dismantling of the Colts last Saturday a lot of accolades and praise have been thrown around. Granted it was nothing more than a glorified scrimmage but for a fan base thirsty (see what I […]

Steven Jackson has put in more work signing autographs than carrying the rock on gamedays so far in Rams camp. That may change this weekend. Another week of the preseason, another matchup that appears to be deceptively easy. The 33-10 win over the Colts has to be asterixed because Indianapolis barely tries to compete in […]
