The Rams drafted him #1 in 2010; would you draft him in your fantasy league in 2011? The difference between real football success and fantasy success couldn’t be starker than in the case of Sam Bradford. 2010’s runaway offensive rookie of the year contender took every snap for his young team and looked like a […]

The left coast of Missouri has no love for McD… surely that’s reason enough to accept him, right? McDaniels’ name first surfaced as a speculative candidate among us fans, thinking out loud, with no idea that the thoughts might be echoed by Twitter luminaries such as Jason La Canfora, Adam Schefter and Peter King. When […]

This man will stop at nothing… The NFL has a sacred place in many of our hearts, a Sunday ritual attended to as faithfully as any church service. The game itself is as compelling and as well-watched as any televised program today, and even a deep economic recession has little affected attendance numbers. (Source: Forbes.com) […]

Bryan Kehl: From the Giants’ waivers to Rams starter at WLB. Many Rams draft boards are going to put weakside linebacker high on their list of priorities. How bad is this need? Let’s put on our research caps and find out. Firstly, by definition the “weak side” linebacker lines up on defense alongside Laurinaitis, facing […]

I don’t usually start to get too excited about specific players until the Senior Bowl (January 29th), and the NFL Combine (Feb 23rd), particularly those that project to land somewhere after the first round. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t talk broader draft strategy, areas of need, and start slotting in types of players […]

MaryKayCabot ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that according to NFL executives, Rams OC Pat Shurmur is emerging as the frontrunner for the Browns top job. FtblSickness Yep. BUT, 2 things on which I trust Holmgren: QB’s and coaches. RT @AaronAloysius: @FtblSickness “Meh” appears to be consensus on Shurmur. Sam Bradford is almost a shoo-in for the […]

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. The regular season built to a roar, then finished with a whimper. In less than a week, though, the myriad possibilities that the Rams of 2011 could take as they continue to rebuild have taken over our conversation as Rams fans. […]

The Rams’ season has come to an end and it’s time to reflect a little bit before diving into the boiling ocean of the offseason. Or rather, since we’re already getting draft fever, dreaming up strategies, scouting prospects, and reading between the lines of various coach/GM interviews, consider this a time to take a brief […]

I’m not going to try for objective analysis yet. This loss twists in my gut like I’d swallowed a rat and a rabid squirrel, and they’re fighting to the death. The Rams lost the game on the football field to an amped up Seattle Seahawks team, that’s one thing. But more than that, they lost […]

Bradford escapes the pressure in Week 4 vs the Seahawks. In this weekend’s Q&A, HawkBlogger offered this choice bit of competitive intel: “The Seahawks like to blitz a lot, and leave themselves vulnerable as a result. Pick up the blitz, and you have a great chance of getting easy chunks of yardage.” This tendency was […]
