St. Louis Rams: First-Half MVP’s for Offense,…

Steven Jackson is a beast.  Without Jackson, the Rams might be a historically bad team.  I’m talking 0-16 people.  Don’t believe me?

Jackson carried the Rams offense to a win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 7.  Then he ran for over 100 yards again in Week 8, when the Rams should have won against the Arizona Cardinals.  In Week 9 against Cleveland, Jackson again ran for over 100 yards and led the Rams to a win on the road.

Prior to the last three weeks, Jackson has been injured, and the Rams didn’t have a clue on offense.  Sophomore QB Sam Bradford looks dazed and confused, the receiving corps is beat up and short on talent, and the offensive line is terrible.

If the Rams wanted to explore trading Jackson during the offseason, I think they could get a lot in return for him.  If you put Jackson on a good football team, where he wasn’t running against eight and nine man boxes, it would be scary to guess the numbers he might put up.

Honorable Mention: Brandon Lloyd, wide receiver.  Lloyd is a true number one receiver, and even though he has only been with the Rams for a short while, seeing Lloyd run around out there reminds Rams’ fans what an NFL wide receiver is supposed to look like.

There is the quick update of the day.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. St. Louis Rams Match preview :


A few weeks back the wide receiver told The Inquirer that he was still up for the job. There was some speculation that Jackson would balk at returning punts if he didn’t have a contract extension by the start of the season.Philadelphia Eagles have a lot to answer for this season.

They usually have a lot to answer for every season, but given how the Eagles put a giant bull’s eye on their backs this offseason, they are under a greater spotlight than ever. As such, not only will us Philadelphia fans panic if they can’t start off well, but pundits and critics all over the NFL world will mock them if they aren’t a “Dream Team” right away.

Danario Alexander had enough positives in St. Louis Rams training camp to outweigh questions about his durability. After surviving cutdown day, the second-year receiver can worry less about his oft-injured left knee and turn his attention to Sunday’s opener against Philadelphia. The grind of camp is over and so is the competition at a position the Rams addressed in the offseason.

St. Louis Rams make an easy choice for NFC West champions this year, don’t they? They’re like the Almond Joy in a candy bowl that’s also hosting Tootsie Rolls, Spice Drops, and those black and orange-wrapped pieces of awfulness that people hand out at Halloween.

Philadelphia Eagles:


Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are members of the East Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). We already know that the Eagles offense is loaded with Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, and Jeremy Maclin. Vick is going to be able to breakdown the young St. Louis defense and break off some big time runs which will open up the passing game for him as well.

GLS Preview: St. Louis Rams

The St. Louis Rams are one of the league’s most popular sleeper teams, and it’s easy to understand why.

The Rams have a young franchise quarterback coming off a 3,500-yard rookie campaign, a stellar offensive line and a solid mix of veteran contributors and young playmakers on defense. Their win total jumped from one to seven between 2009 and 2010, and there’s little reason to believe it won’t keep climbing in 2011.

But the progression of the franchise is closely tied to the progression of that franchise QB. Sam Bradford had a good rookie season on paper, but his 3,512-yard total was inflated by a rookie record 590 attempts (third-most in the NFL). Bradford dinked and dunked his way along in a conservative west coast offense, averaging just 6.0 yards per attempt.

The unit as a whole averaged just 4.6 yards per play (second-lowest in the league) and finished 26th in the league in total offense.

The good news is that quarterback teaching champion Josh McDaniels has arrived to coach the offense. The bad news is that McDaniels is introducing Bradford and Co. to a more nuanced system in a short amount of time. In 2011, this team’s success will likely be tied to how quickly the offense can adapt to McDaniels’ approach.

2010 in a nutshell: Typical of a young team, they perform much better at home than they do on the road. They clearly outplay the rest of the weak NFC West, but falter late and blow the division title with a flat Week-17 loss in Seattle.

Three predictions for 2011:

1. Bradford will continue to progress slowly: I think the future remains bright, but Bradford will experience some growing pains in his sophomore season. He still doesn’t have enough support from the receiving corps or the running game. While Brandon Gibson, Danny Amendola, Mike Sims-Walker and Steven Jackson are good players, none are game-changers at this point. Bradford’s offensive line got better in the offseason with the addition of monster right guard Harvey Dahl, but he’ll have trouble grasping McDaniels’ always-changing offense on a week-to-week basis with so many question marks surrounding him.

2. The defense will be much better: They were mediocre in pretty much every yardage-based category last year, but they still managed to give up only 20.5 points per game thanks in part to a great pass rush (43 sacks). And while O.J. Atogwe will be missed a little, they bolstered the entire D in the offseason by adding Quintin Mikell to the secondary and Justin Bannan, Ben Leber, Zac Diles, Daniel Muir and Brady Poppinga to the front seven. None are superstars, but they’ll add depth and experience to a unit with several cornerstones already in place.

3. Chris Long and James Laurinaitis will become Pro Bowlers: Long and Laurinaitis are those cornerstones, and 2011 first-round pick Robert Quinn is waiting in the wings with a chance to join them. Long finally arrived with a super 2010 season, but expect his sack numbers to climb considerably with the added depth surrounding him. If Quinn can emerge and Bannan can step his game up, opposing offenses won’t have the ability to focus squarely on Long. Laurinaitis is primed to become a star in the middle, and he’ll benefit from the presence of Mikell, who is a great run defender in the next layer.

The final word(s): The offense will struggle in somewhat of a transitional season, but they’re still clearly the most talented team in a weak division. They’ll take the NFC West with eight or nine wins and gain some playoff experience.

What are your opinions.

NFL Free Agents 2011: Have St. Louis Rams Done…

This offseason the Rams went quantity quantity and…more quantity.

Most teams in the NFL go and find a true number one threat for their quarterback to throw to. The Rams decided against drafting a high upside receiver like Jon Baldwin in the draft this year, but did take Lance Kendricks, Austin Pettis, and Greg Salas in the second, third, and fourth rounds, respectively.

In the first preseason game, Lance Kendricks looked like he might be a slam dunk. The ultra athletic but unpolished tight end could become a dominant pass catcher. Salas and Pettis, however, will most likely take a back seat to the many other wide receivers on the roster for their rookie year.

The Rams have Donnie Avery and Mark Clayton returning from season ending injuries last year, along with Denario Alexander and Danny Amendola.

They’ve brought in Mike-Sims Walker from the Jacksonville Jaquars, to compete against the current incumbents. It was a wise move, considering new Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels ability to take average receivers and make them dominant (see Bradon Lloyd). Sims-Walker looked like he had the ability to turn into a number one receiver his sophomore year, but was maddeningly inconsistent last year. 

Sims-Walker could be the answer for the Rams. It is disappointing,however, to see that the Rams did not attempt to make a major acquisition for a truly proven wide out.

Is it enough? It’s definitely a start.   

That’s all for today.

Ben Leber strengthens Rams at linebacker

The St. Louis Rams added toughness and seasoning around their young middle linebacker by agreeing to terms with 32-year-old oustide linebacker Ben Leber.

Leber visited the Seattle Seahawks this week, but the Rams’ offer for one year and $1.25 million was more appealing, ESPN’s John Clayton reported.

Leber joins Zac Diles and Brady Poppinga among veteran linebackers signed to the Rams’ roster this offseason. Our Scouts Inc. report on Leber describes him as durable, consistent and with good range, but better suited for zone coverage than straight man-to-man.

Leber has not missed a game over the past four seasons. He has started 110 of the 132 games he has played since entering the NFL with San Diego in 2002. Leber played strongside linebacker in the Chargers’ 3-4 defense, but he played the weak side in the Vikings’ 4-3 scheme last season.

Leber gives the Rams flexibility at the position. He’s been more durable than Poppinga recently.

What are your opinions.
