Following up on super-reader Rodney’s question from yesterday, it looks like the Rams gave Boise Burn wideout/defensive back/return man Terrance Sanders a tryout today, and it did not end up with Sanders in a Rams uniform. This could be a case of terrible timing, with Rams camp likely abuzz with the acquisition of Ronald Curry […]

The Rams’ post-draft offseason moves have been modest talent acquisitions, few of them designed to create major headlines — with the notable exception of the still-puzzling decision to drop Pisa Tinoisamoa. However, this latest move, acquiring Ronald Curry for back-of-the-DT-rotation Orien Harris, could actually provide significant impact on the team’s offense. Curry is a converted […]

As a relatively new Rams fan (i.e. I didn’t give two licks about the NFC West until St. Louis became a part of it), I admit to being less than facile with my Rams history. That’s what makes this new glossy interactive timeline at StLouisRams.com/history such a valuable resource.  Not only is it a gorgeous […]

Chip Rosenbloom and I have so much in common, we’re basically brothers. I mean, except for a few hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, and the career in Hollywood, that is. No, I mean we’re both working on a pretty significant rehab project — and we’re both living in it while we’re doing […]

In the comments section yesterday, new reader Rodney asked if we should be pursuing the Broncos’ Jarvis Moss. At first glance, I was not very enthusiastic about the idea, but the more I thought about it, the more the former Florida Gator standout seemed like a potentially attractive — and potentially realistic — low-risk acquisition. […]

In my just-completed guest spot on this week’s Turf Show Radio podcast, I made reference to a site (I misremembered it as The Smoking Gun) that was keeping a running tally of NFL player arrests and other negative PR moments that are the bane of Roger Goodell’s existence. This list was appropriately called the “Turd […]

VanRam from the Turf Show Times has invited me to join in some offseason discussion on their radio/podcast tonight at 5:00 pm CST. Should be an enjoyable listen, as we discuss the RamsHerd NFC West Power Rankings, and possibly some high-minded discussion of Coach Spagnuolo’s “Four Pillars“, possibly including the hypothetical question of whether or […]

Part 1 of these rankings named the four top wildcards in the division: the Cardinals’ Kurt Warner (#1) and defensive coordinator Bill Davis (#4), Mike Singletary of the Niners (#2) and Steven Jackson (#3) of the Rams. These rankings also gave my thumbnail of how many games in the standings these individuals could swing. Naturally, […]

But for Mike Jones, Steve McNair is a Super Bowl champion We’re in the slowest period of the NFL calendar right now, when the only movement on the news wires tends to be announcements of low-level draft pick signings. Beat writers scrabble for fluff pieces and can usually turn a cautiously optimistic coach’s quote into […]

Mike Sando’s NFC West blog on ESPN has become a great daily check-in for keeping tabs on the division. Recently, Sando posted a link to a Seattle Times blog, listing the “Power Rankings” for the Seahawks heading into the season. Since then, similar rankings have been blogged up for the 49ers and Rams. Now there’s […]

Just a quick note: the Rams Herd now has a Twitter account. Follow us at

This offseason has been all about one thing for the Saint Louis Rams: Change. And with it, we hope, comes Hope. We finally rid ourselves of the infighting and backstabbing of yesteryear. We lost the laissez-faire ownership of Ms. Georgia Frontiere. We decapitated the three-headed monster at the top of the organization — the intellectually […]

At the RamsHerd, we hereby proclaim: That professional football is the ultimate in televised sports – 120 mini-dramas, pitting brutes against brains, speed against ferocity, all displayed with brilliant graphic analysis. Therefore, we pledge that our work will sometimes be dramatic, sometimes skillful, sometimes brutal, and sometimes graphic. (visually, that is.) That the Rams suck. […]
