This game hardly needs introduction: it is as revered in Rams history as any single moment or achievement of the franchise’s history. This game crowned the miraculous worst-to-first rise of the team colored royal blue and corn yellow, befitting its mix of world-class talent (Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Orlando Pace) and products of […]

Apparently winning RamsHerd’s first annual “Most Necessary Rookie Performance” award didn’t exactly mean that Rodger Saffold would start getting the star treatment. According to a nicely revealing feature in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Saffold is still plenty comfortable blending into the shadows. In a recent appearance at his alma mater in Bedford, Saffold wore a […]

James Hall and the Rams’ rebuilt defensive line increased their sack total from 25 to 43 in one season. Mission accomplished? Or just beginning? Despite a seemingly annual procession of high draft picks, the Rams’ defensive line always played as less than the sum of its parts, until 2010. The transformation, led by coach Spagnuolo, […]

One week remains until the Super Bowl, and the representatives for the players and owners have this time to sit down and come together and figure out how to salvage the 2011 season. All of it. Not just the games in September (or August, if an 18-game schedule is rammed down our throats), but the […]

LB Von Miller looks to continue his impressive rise up draft boards. South Team: Defense DT – 98 Phil Taylor (Baylor): Taylor has been impressive all week as the consensus best pure Nose Tackle among the bunch, and could play the “zero technique” next to Fred Robbins, lining up over Center, or between Center and […]

Iowa DT Christian Ballard could make a strong impression today on Rams Scouts — and on South team quarterbacks. The Senior Bowl kicks off at 3:00 central time, and promises to be a lot more fun to watch than the NFL’s Pro Bowl. Why? Because unlike their well-paid counterparts in Hawaii, these Seniors have something […]

Like a ninja, Laurinaitis may be almost unseen but deadly effective. James Laurinaitis’ rookie year was about as good as it could be. He played every snap, made the defensive calls for a team that allowed 29 fewer points than the year before, led the team in tackles, and his name rang out as a […]

On August 24 of last year, Stan Kroenke was officially confirmed as sole owner of the Rams.

Danny Watkins: an ideal cross between Richie Incognito’s ferocity and Adam Goldberg’s technique? The Senior Bowl’s third day of practice winds down, and reports filtering in have one thing in common: unabashed love for DE Cameron Jordan, whose scouting report boils down to a single word: “unblockable.” However, the Rams’ interest in Jordan may be […]

Mike Iupati was one of the breakout stars of last year’s Senior Bowl. Who will be there this year? With apologies to the East-West Shrine Game, Senior Bowl week is when my excitement for draft prospects and hidden gems really starts up. There is a great mix of talent here with top players able to […]

“With the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, the Saint Louis Rams select… Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska!” I’m not ashamed to say that I was a member of the “Draft Suh” contingent among Rams fans, as were many of us. In the first rev of our 2010 Mock Draft, back in February of last year, […]

The Rams just got a helluva coach… After what must have been a pretty successful interview and two days of contract negotiations between the Rams and Josh McDaniels, Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network (and a GM candidate in San Francisco earlier this month) thought that things should be wrapping up today, one way or […]
