St. Louis Rams

By 3k St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little sits on the bench during the final minutes of the fourth quarter of an NFL football game against the St. Louis Rams, Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009, in St. Louis. The Colts won 42-6, and the Rams made 3k sad.

By VanRam And all of that is true. You scratch below the surface of another losing season, and even the novice can see this is a much better Rams team than what we've seen in recent years. It's obvious we're more than a piece or two away, but there really is a good group of young talent here that will bring co...

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Long had similar issues in the sense that the Rams gave up on Scott Linehan and had to go through a coaching change, but his reputation doesn't seem to be taking much of a hit despite his subpar year. For example, check out this post from VanRam of the ...

By VanRam This comes as no surprise, except for the idea that the Rams might have traded him. The Rams are getting younger across the board, and rebuilding the offensive line for the future is now the priority. Pace's release also ups the likelihood the Rams will take an OT in the NFL Draft next month, li...

By VanRam Here's some good news for Rams fans. RB Steven Jackson practiced with the Rams first team offense today, sharing reps with Antonio Pittman. The bottom line on Jackson is that he's the foundation, and a good one, of the Rams offense and will be for some years to come.

By VanRam Avery is young, he’s fast, and I shout at the TV for the Rams to give him the ball on every possession. Making the University of Houston alum the first receiver drafted this past year may have been the only thing that Scott Linehan ever did right as head coach.

By VanRam The Eagles run defense last year was quietly a major strength. It was the best I've seen the Eagles play the run in years. They finished up the year with the 4th best run defense in football mostly thanks in my opinion to the two first rounds picks on the interior of the defensive line. Those guys w...

By VanRam It's a night that must belong to the offense. Unfortunately, they're starting with an arm tied behind their back with Steven Jackson holding out. And now come reports that Torry Holt may sit out against the Chargers tonight, back spasms. He'll be a game time decision, but with the Rams first t...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

By VanRam Virgina DE Chris Long, a top talent Rams fans have debating taking with the team's #2 pick versus Michigan OT Jake Long, may be gaining momentum as the top overall pick.

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 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...

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.

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...

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...

By VanRam Today's game certainly isn't out if reach for the Rams.
