Brian Quick the second rounder for the Rams was only active on three plays

Found September 11, 2012 on NFL Draft Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brian Quick,  Brandon Gibson,  Danny Amendola,  Steve Smith,  Chris Givens
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams,  Appalachian State Mountaineers
Mike Clay today on twitter put out a tweet saying that the Rams rookie WR Brian Quick played just three snaps in Week 1 versus the Lions. Brandon Gibson (46-of-58 snaps) was the surprise starter opposite Danny Amendola, pushing Steve Smith (23 snaps) into the third receiver role. Rookie Chris Givens was on the field for 18 snaps as the designated deep threat. Outside of Amendola in PPR leagues, there’s no reliable fantasy value among the Rams receivers. That is not a great statistic for a 2nd round pick. When coming out of college Quick was a very productive wide out at Appalachian State, but  people have to remember that he had really only played one year of organized football his entire life before entering college.  He was a basketball player who many believed had tons of upside.  Well he obviously is not learning as fast as the Rams want him too.  We shall see if he gets more snaps next week.

St. Louis Rams: 2012 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#12)

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 11, 2012
Last week: 12 (+0) Record: 0-1 And here’s the other half of the controversial prediction. On one hand, I nailed the Rams/Lions game. The Rams showed they were a better team than last year on both sides of the ball. On the other hand, my prediction of the Rams in the playoff only makes sense if the 49ers don’t prove me wrong. If Alex Smith improbably becomes a true franchise quarterback...

Titus Young was benched during Rams game for head-butting Janoris Jenkins

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  September 10, 2012
Titus Young is a player who many have said has breakout potential this season, but that will all depend on his attitude. The second-year receiver caught only one pass for 14 yards against the Rams on Sunday, but his lack of production was due in large part to the fact that Young only played in the first half. Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz benched Young at the end of the first...
