Oh believe me, I know. I know. I really, really, really KNOW, really!
The title of this article alone is enough for some of our readers to dismiss everything I’m about to say. In some ways, I think I’d be inclined to do the same if someone walked up to me and said exactly what’s in the title. I might call them crazy or think it’s the lead in to a bad joke. Hear me out...

The Rams allowed the most sacks in the league last year, 55, in large part because of injuries to both of their starting tackles, Rodger Saffold and Jason Smith.

That happened Tuesday evening, when the Rams traded cornerback Josh Gordy to the Indianapolis Colts for an undisclosed draft pick. Team officials could not be reached for comment...
