In my last entry at the start of the NFL Scouting Combine, I estimated which ten players seemed to be the most likely targets for the Rams and their 2 first-round selections. A lot has happened since then; the Rams have no starting safeties, Jake Long and Jared Cook were signed, and both starting WR […]

One of my favorite stories in Rams lore was in a week nine loss against the Lions during the 1999 Super Bowl season. The loss was nothing special, one of three on the season, but Kurt Warner’s story from that day echoes in my head as this St. Louis team experiences a changing of the […]

There’s a new chef in town. By acquiring former Titan TE Jared Cook on the first day of free agency, the Rams may have very well signed the most versatile and able-bodied weapon available. Les Snead has stressed getting weapons for Sam Bradford, but he also mentioned that the only way to measure production is […]

Not that anyone reads it, but we have a brief writer's guide here at RamsHerd. Right at the top, it says: We aren’t a magazine or a newspaper, but we can follow a basic journalistic code: be unique check your facts check your spelling and don’t rip people off. That was my attempt at setting […]

Many of you know that I am not a professional journalist. However, even I can figure out whether something is newsworthy. The whole notion that someone on twitter says something so I will report it is ludicrous. It is not journalism. Today, this was taken to all new heights. Let’s go through the background […]

I have written several articles about the wide receivers available in the draft. In each, I have suggested that several of the options will be available for the Rams in the second round at pick 46. That suggestion was made without a review of the other teams drafting and was primarily based on the […]

Jim Thomas just reported that Steven Jackson has elected to test free agency, saying goodbye to a guaranteed $7 million from the Rams in hopes of one more contract as a starting RB … and to potentially increase his chances of a deep playoff run. The open question is which contending team might look at […]

With the 39th pick of the 2012 NFL Draft and the recent acquisition of Titus Young (now released), there is no question that Jeff Fisher will take a chance on players who have “character concerns.” Gone are the four pillars and in comes the talent. Janoris Jenkins had several issues entering the draft but Les […]

If you read my prior article on wide receivers in the draft, you know that I believe an upgrade at WR is more important than an upgrade at any other position. I am also a firm believer that you can’t judge a wide receiver on numbers alone). Nevertheless, the numbers are not irrelevant. Scouts look […]

If there is one thing I enjoy as much as mock drafts, it has to be top ten lists. Since there is a major surplus of the former, I thought I would take a run at the latter for this week’s entry. While this is likely to change based on free agency, this month’s Scouting […]

The St Louis Rams took a chance that no other team in the NFL was willing to, putting in a waiver claim on Titus Young. Young had been released by the Detroit Lions earlier this week for all kinds of conduct detrimental to his team, which raises a huge question: why would Jeff Fisher take […]

I was able to find tape of California v. Washington State and California v. USC. I am even more impressed with Keenan Allen. With full understanding that I am the person who added a caveat to my prior WR draft article about combine numbers and Keenan Allen, I want to remind Rams Fans that sometimes […]

Co-hosts Tim and Vinnie had to keep one eye on the scoreboard while keeping the conversation flowing. Guest list: Robert McBride, head coach of Lansing […]

By hiring Rob Ryan to be his defensive coordinator, Jeff Fisher completes a circle of sorts. Fisher came up in the NFL as one of many understudies of Buddy Ryan. Fisher's coaching life begain as his playing career ended, as a member of the elder Ryan's vaunted 1985 Chicago Bears defense. Years later, Buddy Ryan […]
