Opinion: Game Notes: Saints vs. Rams

15 Nov 2009 20:02:08 PST

Written by ram_rod
McMichael and Barron have to go. Anything less then a swift kick out the door is unacceptable at this point. McMichael's glory days are long past him, and Fells has made his point to at least be given the opportunity to start. Barron's case is a little more interesting, but enough is enough. He ha...

Opinion: Rams 17, Packers 36: Snapsnots of disappointment

28 Sep 2009 06:58:12 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Pace out!

10 Mar 2009 14:39:06 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Steven Jackson practices today

12 Nov 2008 11:48:45 PST

Written 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.

Opinion: Overheard: What people are saying about the Rams/Patriots game

27 Oct 2008 12:36:54 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: Rams youth movement, continued

18 Sep 2008 12:53:14 PDT

Written by VanRam
Give Chris Chamberlain a try at S or leave him at LB against the pass. He looks good in coverage, an area of great need for the Rams, why not give him a shot? At this point, we might as well see what Brandon Condren can do with a few reps at S. The fewer snaps the slowed, aging Chavous sees, the more eff...

Opinion: An inside look at the Rams week one opponent

04 Sep 2008 12:53:18 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Question for the Rams offense: preseason game 2, Rams vs San Diego

16 Aug 2008 07:35:45 PDT

Written 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...

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 08:23:52 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...

Rams Go Long: TST Draft, Round One Review,

14 Mar 2008 12:44:20 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Spring primary for potential Rams draft picks

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...

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. As this article by Adam Schefter points out, Long the DE represents the least risk of other potential #1s such as Dorsey, Mc...

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.

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...

Opinion: More Holmgren

Written by Darrin Beene
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...
