A Glimpse of Hope - (08/24)

The St. Louis Rams’ penultimate preseason game resulted in a 24-10 victory over the visiting Baltimore Ravens.  While the final outcome was nice, a few other aspects of Saturday’s game should also bring smiles to the faces of Rams supporters. Marc Bulger looked crisp and confident with his throws in his most extensive action of the preseason; he completed 18-25 [...]

Steven Jackson Returns! Now what? - (08/21)

With the holdout of Steven Jackson thankfully coming to an end, one cannot help but wonder what exactly this means to the St. Louis Rams. The first and most important element of the conclusion of this saga rests in the knowledge that the Rams will be getting back one of their best players.  That is, when [...]

Many Questions, Few Answers - (08/18)

Preseason games in the NFL generally mean very little in terms of projection success during the regular season.  But, with that said, the performance of individual players and units canbe a telling preview of the games that will count.  In their second preseason game the St. Louis Rams might have created more questions about the 2008 version [...]

Training camp arrives, Jackson does not - (07/25)

First things first: we sincerely apologize for the lack of articles in the last month or so. I spent much of the summer in India visiting my family, but I won’t use that as an excuse. The real reason for the lack of posts is that nothing interesting has really been happening in Rams country [...]

Making Lemonade - (07/04)

St. Louisans are great at making the best of a bad situation. Flood our river? We'll put a concert on the levee! Here's wishing everyone a Happy 4th - and a dry one!

The re-energizing of the Rams - Part II - (06/13)

Yesterday I reviewed some of the points that St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bill Coats made in his column of June 12, 2008. The thrust of the column was that Rams players were feeling and demonstrating a new energy during minicamp and OTA’s that suggested that the team had put the 3-13 2007 season behind it [...]

The re-energizing of the Rams - Part I - (06/12)

Bill Coats of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote an interesting and upbeat column on the Rams for this morning’s editions. A close reading of the column, which I suggest Rams fans undertake, reveals a number of interesting observations, some of which were made in this space over the course of the past few weeks. Let’s take the [...]

Did Deion call the Rams out? - (06/10)

Deion Sanders is at it again. Enraging a segment of fans by simply opening his mouth. This time he hit a particularly sore spot…Rams fans. It seems that Deion was recently seen and heard on a segment of NFL Access on the NFL Network that involved a preview of the Rams 2008 season and the team’s prospects in [...]

How about a fair evaluation for Brian Leonard? - (06/09)

The Rams are trying to get all they can out of last year’s number two draft pick, Brian Leonard, the running back out of Rutgers. Or maybe not. This in the face of some heavy criticism from Rams’ fans for making Leonard their pick in that spot in the first place. Just a glance at some of [...]

My ten best quarterbacks of all time - (06/06)

I thought that I would step away from analyzing the various segments of the St. Louis Rams team to share my spin on a favorite subject of mine, one that always generates a lot of debate, sometimes heated, among football fans.  Who are the ten best quarterbacks of all time? Of course, that question begs a list [...]

The Time Has Come for Rams? Cornerbacks to Step Up - (06/05)

The play of St. Louis Rams’ cornerbacks in the last few years has left a lot to be desired, to put it mildly. Perhaps it was the selection of Jacoby Shepherd in the 2000 draft that put the jinx on the position for the Rams. That unfortunate choice laid the groundwork for forgettable future cornerback picks such [...]

Making something good even better - (02/14)

So I have to say I've always liked the royal blue and gold of the St. Louis Rams. Bold, vibrant, dangerous, yet attractive. But yet... for some reason... I like those colors even better now.

Thursday Night Preview: Steelers at Rams - (12/18)

It’s been a short and disappointing week for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the St. Louis Rams going into Thursday’s game at the Dome. Pittsburgh lost 29-22 last week to the Jaguars in the snow at Heinz Field. That’s right. A team built for rough weather lost to a Florida team, at home, in the snow. [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 17 - (12/17)

A Rams loss and a 49ers win gave the Rams jockeying position for the 2008 draft. As it stands now, the Dolphins will almost certainly lock up the top spot; after collecting its first win of the season, 22-16 over Baltimore in overtime, Miami’s record stands at 1-13. The Jets, Falcons and Rams all have three wins, [...]

Rams-Packers Running Diary - (12/16)

I realize that I’ve been MIA for the last week or so, but I have a semi-valid excuse: five comprehensive finals. It was a rough stretch, but now that that’s all over with, I can get to the real tough times: watching the Rams play the Packers. What better way to make up for absence than [...]

Bulger Will Start, Lose - (12/14)

The good news for Sunday’s game against the Packers at the Ed is that Marc Bulger will be in the starting lineup. The bad news is that it won’t make much difference. The Pack is cruising at 11-2. A win on Sunday coupled with a Seattle loss will give Green Bay the No. 2 NFC seed for [...]

It Could Always Be Worse - (12/12)

Half the team is in the hospital, the record is 3-10 and fast deteriorating, and the coach isn’t the best coach out there. But it could be worse, Rams fans, because the coach isn’t the worst coach out there either. No, that distinction goes to Bobby Petrino, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons, who signed a contract with [...]

Linehan Stays Put - (12/11)

It’s official. Despite the 0-8 start to the season, despite the obvious play-calling and strategy blunders during games, and despite being downright awful all season long, the Rams and coach Scott Linehan will be together next year. In one way, this decision is understandable. The injuries weren’t Linehan’s fault. Leonard Little, Marc Bulger, Steven Jackson (for [...]

Rams Football Physics - (12/07)

I apologize for the long break from my last post, but I have been very busy this week feverishly trying to read a book called The Fabric of the Cosmos for a biology class. The book explores some crucial ideas in today’s world of physics (yes, I am quite the science geek). Because we all [...]

Looking back at the Rams? draft - (12/07)

It’s no secret that the Rams have had some drafting woes in the past. This year’s rookie class - with the exception of Adam Carriker and Clifton Ryan inside - has also proved to be fairly lackluster. Given opportunities to get on the field with a cascade of Rams injuries, most of these rookies haven’t been [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 16 - (12/04)

The Rams came away with an ugly 28-16 win over the Falcons Sunday, improving their record to 3-9 overall. Meanwhile, down in San Antonio, my (formerly) #1 Mizzou Tigers crumbled to the Oklahoma Sooners, 38-17. Seems like two completely unrelated events, right? Think again - these Tigers are the Rams. Allow me to clarify. Both these teams [...]

Eating Crow - (12/02)

The Rams game is in the third quarter as I write, and it is obviously time for me to eat crow. Gus Frerotte is having a career day. So far, he is 17 of 24 for 260 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no picks. He has been sacked only once. Steven Jackson is having an extremely subpar day, [...]

Rams-Falcons: Does Anyone Care? - (12/01)

Not particularly, no. Sunday’s St. Louis-Atlanta game will feature two of the worst teams in the NFL, each battling to climb back up to “mediocre” status. Normally, this game would get some attention from the media as it would provide a potent source for jokes and wry comparisons to the much more anticipated Green Bay-Dallas game [...]

Rams? bust against Seattle no exception - (11/28)

It’s no secret that the Rams’ loss to Seattle Sunday was a dud. We’ve already seen articles putting the blame for the loss on Gus Frerotte’s shoulders (not all unjustifiably) and fans calling for Scott Linehan’s head. Yes, it was a truly disheartening game and may indeed be the nail in the coffin that gets Linehan [...]

Bruce and Holt: Truly Ageless? - (11/28)

Rams fans suffering through this debacle of a season generally have to deal with another injury in addition to the on-field blowouts: FOX always sticks its worst announcer teams on Rams games, because nobody outside Rams nation is really interested anymore. Sunday was no different, with J. C. Pearson and Matt Vasgersian routinely missing plays, [...]
