Opinion: An inside look at the Rams week one opponent

04 Sep 2008 12:53:18 PDT

Written by VanRam
As far as red zone efficiency, that remains to be seen as well. The hope is that having a healthy LJ Smith back and a healthy McNabb should be a cure for those ills inside the 20... It was pretty puzzling last year how the Eagles were able to move the ball quite well, but just couldn't punch it when the...

Opinion: What Donnie Avery can bring to the Rams

28 Apr 2008 14:01:35 PDT

Written by VanRam
Avery and Isaac Bruce have more than just speed in common. Check out who Avery compared himself to in a pre-draft chat with fans at ESPN: I would have to say Isaac Bruce, Marvin Harrison. Those guys. They have the dedication and the desire to be the best. That's the kind of dedication that I have.

Opinion: If Ellis is available, would you still go after LB Keith Rivers?

25 Apr 2008 06:49:18 PDT

Written by Kirkendall
A fairly healthy percentage of mock drafts are giving Sedrick Ellis the nod as the Bengals clear-cut choice. And most people are fairly satisfied with that pick. We need a talented defensive tackle, badly. But there's a scenario developing. The Rams, it would appear, are favoring LSU defens...

Opinion: Rams draft decision looms

23 Apr 2008 07:23:52 PDT

Written by VanRam
They're also listening to trade offers, and would be wise to continue that until the buzzer sounds Saturday. The consensus possibilities for the Rams at #2, Chris Long, Gholston and Dorsey, are, as Linehan said, "difference makers." Other teams agree, and that's why everyone from the Sai...

Opinion: What about Drew Bennett?

05 Apr 2008 08:25:39 PDT

Written by VanRam
There's a lot of pressure on the Rams this season to improve on their disappointing 3 win 2007. For the coaches, the stakes are obvious, but individual players will be playing for their reputations as well. For Drew Bennett, the stakes ratcheted way up as soon as the Rams severed ties with Mr. R...

Opinion: TST mock draft - round two wrap up

20 Mar 2008 14:13:44 PDT

Written by VanRam
Chillar's gone now, so taking a linebacker certainly becomes more of a priority. However, for the 3-4 formation the Rams do have Witherspoon as their rushing LB on one side and DE Leonard Little can play LB on that other side in that formation. And to save Little's wheels, a first round DE like...

I figure I better start using Ohio State instead of OSU, so as not to confuse the Oklahoma State-inclined readers out there, and with Oklahoma State, I use the term "readers" loosely. Just kidding. It seems like the people that like Gholston REALLY like him, even though he didn't garner as ma...

Written 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...

The Scouting Combine starts in a week...kind of. Officially, it starts on Wednesday, February 20, but workouts don't start until Saturday, February 23. That's according to the NFL's official site for the event. The real choice facing the Rams with the second overall pick is whether to go for th...

Rams position review: wide receivers

08 Feb 2008 07:38:17 PST

Written 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.

Opinion: Down time

06 Feb 2008 08:59:44 PST

Written by VanRam
There's not much in the way of rumor about the Rams trading down from the second overall pick in the draft. Don't rule it out though. Teams salivating over McFadden or Boston College QB Matt Ryan could make an enticing offer, and if it nets the Rams two first rounders, I'd think they'd have to at...

Rams Position Review: Quarterback

05 Feb 2008 08:57:41 PST

Written by VanRam
Things are relatively settled at QB for the Rams. We've got our starter in Marc Bulger, a starter the team's invested in quite heavily. If the o-line isn't fixed and a blocking fullback isn't added, Bulger's a lost investment...any QB would be. The issue for the Rams at QB is the backup.

Rams Position Review: Running Backs

30 Jan 2008 13:31:09 PST

Written by VanRam
Blocking segues nicely into our other major need in the RB corps, a power fullback, a blocking specialist. The tattered offensive line exposed the lack of a blocker from the backfield this season. There's no need to keep Richard Owens. Brian Leonard will be a valuable asset for the offense, b...

Opinion: Take the seniors bowling

24 Jan 2008 07:35:46 PST

Written by VanRam
Receivers Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce, and quarterback Marc Bulger can still be productive on any given day, but they are all getting old together and taking up far too much cap space. Former All-Pro left tackle Orlando Pace has started to break down and a return to his former self is unlikely...

Opinion: Week 17 - Rams at Cardinals, Open Thread

30 Dec 2007 08:26:04 PST

Written by VanRam
Today's game certainly isn't out if reach for the Rams. If you look at hte points allowed totals, the Rams have allowed 390 and the Cardinals 380, so the game certainly has the potential to feature some scoring. I'll be pretty happy if the Rams can dial it in for the last game and play as well in th...

On penalties, Holmgren was not happy about the flag thrown on Deon Grant late in the game. He said he thought the PI that was called was one of those that "could have been left alone" and that "Isaac Bruce (Rams WR) did a good job of calling that play." The other issue was a play when Rob Simms had hi...

Kansas City @ Indianapolis I'm pulling for the Missouri team here, and I don't like Indy much either. On the surface, it seems like this game is tailor made for Larry Johnson to run all over an Indy run defense that makes the Rams run defense look stout.
