Five quick factors that will determine the Rams’ chance at victory

I have a brief window of time in my Thanksgiving weekend driving schedule — two days down to Florida, three days with family, two days back — to write a quick game preview for this Sunday’s tilt in Denver. Perhaps my sacrifice of nearly 3,000 tire miles to the gods of travel will earn a […]

Rams vs Falcons :: Clark Kent vs Superman

The Rams face off against their superpowered alter-ego this week, the NFL team whose roster and philosophy most closely resemble what Billy Devaney and Steve Spagnuolo are trying to build in St Louis — the AFC South leading Atlanta Falcons. The question is, after years of beating themselves, can these new and improved Rams beat […]

Infographic: 49ers’ reliance on big plays

Obviously, big plays killed the Rams in Week 10. But are you aware of just how much? Check out this graphic representation of the 49ers' drive charts from last week's matchup: Of 421 total yards for the 49ers offense, 321 resulted from a total of eleven big plays.

Michael Vick, Kurt Warner, and “Sportsmanship”

Like most of the football world, I stand in awe of what Michael Vick did last night to the Washington Redskins, mercilessly torching their secondary and slashing through the line, putting up Tecmo Bowl numbers: 6 touchdowns on more than 400 yards combined rushing and passing, with no interceptions, no fumbles, and only 8 of […]

Late night video: Dissecting the 49ers defense.

I feel a flashback to freshman year in college coming on… Honestly, I had plans to work hard all week on this assignment, really I did. First matchup of the second half, first of four crucial divisional games that will decide the Rams’ playoff fates, it’s a big deal, you don’t have to tell me […]

Rams get something for nothing

Week 9: Rams Bye Week Twice already this season, a team in the NFC West has gone into the bye in second place, and come out of the bye in first. Seattle was the first team to pull off that trick, helped out by the Rams’ gut-wrenching last-minute loss in Tampa. But lady karma, they […]

Two reasons why Randy Moss didn’t fit with the Rams

Let’s be clear. The decision to pass on Randy Moss wasn’t about Billy Devaney and company sticking to a plan. If there was no room in the plan for established wideout talent, they would not have pursued Mark Clayton, Vincent Jackson, and Randy Moss in such depth. They wouldn’t have studied “every snap Randy Moss […]

An unintended outcome from Election Day: St Louis loses the Rams?

It’s well known that 2015 is a big do-or-die year for the City of St Louis and the Rams. That’s the year that Stan Kroenke can flex the opt-out clause in the Rams’ stadium lease, if the stadium itself isn’t up to league standards. As Forbes reports, the Ed Jones Dome is a long way […]

Five reasons why Randy Moss is a fit for the Rams

This is the first chance I’ve had to write at any length about the Rams and Randy Moss since news broke of his bewildering release from the Vikings. However, the topic has nearly taken over my Twitter stream over the past 36 hours. As I sit here and try to sort through the blizzard of […]

Transcript: Mike Martz’s tribute to Isaac Bruce

The numbers are staggering. The records, the Pro Bowls… but winning has always been more important to Isaac Bruce than anything else. As a young player, as a rookie, I can remember him saying that the only thing that mattered to him was to be the best there is, and to be part of the […]
