Rams Rewind: the 2009 season begins again this weekend

If I had media access to the OTA’s I would have tons of fun stuff to talk about. As it is, though, the headlines trickling out are slow. Rodger Saffold sprained his knee and will miss a few weeks. Keenan Burton looks “natural” again, running routes. Sam Bradford’s first throw in a St Louis stadium […]

Why couldn’t the Rams trade Atogwe?

21bird @RamsHerd I can’t believe Rams are letting him walk and get nothing(Atogwe) I find it hard to understand too, seeing that (1) so many teams are apparently interested in his services, and (2) that we were even able to get some value from a depreciated commodity like Adam Carriker. But after putting some further […]

Farewell to Atogwe the Difference Maker?

Barring a surprise deal, in less than two hours Oshimogho Atogwe will become a free agent and start fielding offers from teams rumored to include the Dolphins, Bears, and 49ers. The heart of the problem is whether or not Atogwe deserves to be paid with the top safeties in the game. Ron Clements wrote a […]

Recommended Memorial Day Reading: the story of Pat Tillman

Pat just had that way, with colonels and coaches and Nobel Prize winners, too, of slicing through rank and reputation, of turning every encounter into nothing more or less than two human beings talking. Hell, the guy introduced himself to strangers simply as “Pat,” and if they asked what he did before strapping it on […]

Three potential villains on the 2010 Rams

The Rams have been working hard to cleanse the locker room, getting rid of malcontents and erasing personnel mistakes made by the previous Zygmunt regime (who, not surprisingly, ranks on my list of top five Rams villains). In doing so, they’ve undoubtedly laid a better foundation for future success. But they’ve also uprooted a lot […]

Thinking about heroes and villains and the Rams

I watched the two-hour finale of 24 last night, and was just floored — not so much by Jack Bauer, or the ending, or the question of whether he was going to live or die — but by the final arc of the President Charles Logan storyline. I love a great villain, and he has […]

Will we hear the “No Respect” line this year?

In case you missed it, yesterday Peter King sat down to list his top 31 teams in the NFL. The Rams didn’t make the list. For the moment, I’m not going to dwell on my strong disagreement with this ranking. Instead, I wonder what’s going to be the team’s reaction when things start to gel, […]

Rams roster purge: the nine left standing since 2007

As I mentioned in the big read on Kroenke versus Khan, only nine Rams remain on the 53-man roster that Billy Devaney inherited on February 2008. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at those final nine. And once again, I should note that I’m not including Leonard Little, who is pondering […]

Khan vs Kroenke — good versus evil?

Shahid Khan rode into our Camelot on his white horse, appearing from the east this winter with the frigid Illinois sun at his back, carrying a promise to save the Rams from the evil clutches of those desperate and callous Southern Californians. But as he prepared his siege tower to mount the mighty castle walls […]

Bobby Carpenter: Future Ram?

Twitter and the news wires are awash with the news that Dallas linebacker Bobby Carpenter is about to be traded to the Rams. FakeBCarpenter Prolly straight up trade for Bradford. I’m that good. RT @dmn_cowboys: Cowboys in talks to trade linebacker Bobby Carpenter to St. Louis. No,

Oxymoron: *minor* back surgery

Rams Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson underwent back surgery in early April to repair a herniated disc he suffered in late November of last season. “It was a minor procedure,” coach Steve Spagnuolo told the Post-Dispatch on Tuesday evening. “He feels great. It’s really not a big deal.” — Jim Thomas, STL Today: “Steven […]

Welcome to St Louis, Rooks!

Yes, St. Louis looks its best from the shores of Illinois. A flood of Rams rookies is descending on St Louis — 60 new signees and aspiring tryout players flying in, driving in, whatever it takes to get here for Rookie Minicamp. For many of these players, this is their first glimpse of the city […]

Wei Ji, Zhuan Ji, and Alex Barron

Alex Barron has no time for your Wei Ji. I’ve often heard — incorrectly, as it turns out — that “crisis” and “opportunity” are the same word in Chinese. They are related words, though, as “ji” translates roughly as a turning point. It seems to be particularly appropriate to bring this up tonight, as Denver’s […]

To Tweet or not to tweet, that is the question

Van Ram posted a nice little profile on undrafted and outspoken free agent Simoni Lawrence over at TST this morning, featuring a nice burst of attitude and confidence: I told him [Rams’ linebacker coach Paul Ferraro] you get me in and I’ll do the rest and make you proud. Pretty entertaining stuff, and welcome on […]
