St. Louis Rams

By VanRam Another note about what Avery can do on the field for the Rams. The Rams lacked a deep threat last season. Obviously, much of that had to do with the trouble on the o-line, but still the Rams had no receptions for 40 yards or more. Avery gives them that threat. Avery will shine on routes down the fiel...

By Kirkendall The New Orleans Saints also see Dorsey as a coveted pick, but they appear to be looking at defensive tackle nonetheless. Here's the problem. They've made it clear that they're interested in moving up the draft. It was generally expected that the Saints would jump several spots to pick Dorsey....

By VanRam For the Rams, these news items change little, expect for maybe giving them another trade possibility in the draft and putting them "on the clock" for their pick in the draft. This much I'll bet you, the Rams won't make their first round pick until Saturday. League rules stipulate that only th...

By VanRam Bennett's first year in the Golden Horns was marred by injury and a woeful offense. When Bulger wasn't being sacked and could put the ball in the air, it was usually to trusty targets Holt and Bruce. So now, with Bruce gone Bennett becomes the Rams number two wide receiver, an important role th...

By VanRam Auburn OLB/DE Quentin Groves got a few mentions for a second round pick. Groves might in fact fill an immediate need with the Rams, becoming an outstanding hybrid OLB/DE in a 3-4 scheme. If the Rams don't draft Vernon Gholston in the first round, Groves would be more than an adequate consolat...

By VanRam It's a good draft for offensive tackles though, so grabbing one in the second round (or later) is a real possibility. Still, putting together a young, outstanding defensive line with the second overall pick is sure hard to pass up, and I think that would give the Rams a foundation to be compe...

By VanRam Has the arrow pointed any other way for this guy? Talent and pedigree will do wonders, huh? Devaney called him a "force" against the run, and indicated that his pass rushing skills will need work. Some scouts and NFL personnel people also see Long able to play linebacker and a natural fit for...

By VanRam Picking any of the four defensive prospects discussed here would help the Rams, giving our defensive front young, blue chip talent that could become the core of the team for seasons to come. That's quite a paradigm shift from the old Turf Show days, no? Doubters of the benefits of this appro...

By VanRam Drew Bennett turned into the pricey free agent pick up that everyone forgot about. Bennett had his worst season since his rookie year in 2001. Injuries and the team's offensive woes hobbled his first season in St. Louis; he had just 33 receptions, 375 yards and 3 TDs.

By VanRam Glenn Dorsey's name keeps popping up at a few mock drafts next to the Rams number two pick. This mock, at NFL Draft Countdown, has the Rams taking Dorsey noting the possibility to build the defensive line...not a bad thing considering the Super Bowl we just watched. Most interesting point made h...

By VanRam The 49ers just paid a QB $2 million per season, signing Shaun Hill to a 3 year deal. He'll compete with Alex Smith for the starting job. Oh how the wonder boy's stock has fallen. Hill compares himself to Marc Bulger in the article linked above, noting his excitement about playing for SF's new off...

By VanRam What kind of money can Jackson expect? A deal like Larry Johnson's isn't an unreasonable expectation for the Rams running back. Johnson got a six year, $45 million deal with $19 million in guaranteed money. Jackson is three years younger than his cross-state counterpart.

By VanRam The Senior Bowl bridges the gap for football on television this weekend, a week out from what probably won't be all that interesting of a Super Bowl. With all that college talent set to take center stage, draft talk is heating up. It makes a nice distraction from the ownership and coaching tur...

By VanRam Oh, there's been some memorable teams in the that time. I had to remind one of my dear friends until 1998 that St. Louis did indeed have a football team. And it wasn't until the SUper Bowl title that you really started to see Rams memorabilia publicly displayed out here in the hinterlands of the S...

By Kirkendall Marc Bulger is out. The Rams won't have cornerback Eric Bassey (knee) or tackle Rob Petitti (concussion). Quarterback Gus Frerotte (right shoulder) is doubtful while wide receiver Brandon Williams is questionable. This week's primer against the Rams.

Rams rally for 21 points in fourth to win State title  CT - Merullo was 8-of-14 for 129 yards with one TD and two interceptions, while Dylan Taylor (21-83) led the running game. The Rams had the better of play in the ... Turkey Bowl Microcosm of Blue Wave's Season DarienNews-Review

By Darrin Beene Offense was another matter. He said he thought the unit was "out of sync" until it went into their 2-minute package. He said the Rams showed lots of looks that they had not seen before, and that the Rams did a good job of switching formations late on Hasselbeck. He was very concerned about the lin...

NFL agrees with Rams on only one of three disputed calls vs. Arizona   United States - By Jim Thomas Upon even further review, the Rams went one for three on disputed calls in last week's 34-31 loss to Arizona. At least according to the NFL ...

By VanRam Hmm, who do you think I’m going to pick for this game? Seattle barely had enough to grab the not-so-coveted NFC West title, losing games with Alexander and Hasselbeck in the lineup. Of course Dallas coughed up the NFC East title to the Jeff Garcia-led Eagles with a 1-3 record in their last fou...
