Like Darren Sharper and Nick Collins, there are defensive backs coming out of college that just seem to get it and can contribute right away. This year it’s rookie cornerback Casey Hayward, who actually is tied for the lead in interceptions with 4.
Hayward has been a very good slot cornerback behind Tramon Williams, Sam Shields and Charles Woodson, but with Sam Shields out after being kicked in the shin against the Texans, Hayward was shifted out to the outside. How would he respond in his first start and being left on a island? Pretty good. While fans will gush at his acrobatic interception, I would probably suggest that everyone take a step back; Hayward is solid cornerback, just not a playmaker…yet
The Situation: The score is 17-6 in favor of the Packers with 1:25 left in the 3rd quarter. Needless to say things haven’t gone so well for the Rams in the 2nd half. For the first 30 minutes of football, the Rams had managed to keep the game close by using a steady diet of ground...

Newhouse settling in nicely at left tackle
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Marshall Newhouse has come a long way in the past year. The Packers' third-year left tackle has been performing well as Aaron Rodgers' blind-side protector, showing steady improvement since he first took over the job in Week 5 last season. There have been a few negative moments for Newhouse, such as allowing five sacks in Green Bay's first seven games...

New surroundings for Rams tackle Barksdale
Joe Barksdale is finding himself in a lot of new situations these days.
The second-year tackle is with a new team, learning a new offense - and doing it in a different country.
Barksdale was picked up off waivers by the rebuilding St. Louis Rams last month after being dropped by Oakland, and was given his first career NFL start last weekend in a loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Change of scenery could benefit the Rams
ST. LOUIS - A change of scenery can be a kick to the conscience. Settings can become stale, the shine from a 3-2 start can dull, the Edward Jones Dome can become Lambeau Field South and a bucket of water tossed in the face after a dream September can be more frigid than the St. Louis Rams red-zone offense.
Given all that, its not a bad thing Jeff Fisher & Co. will try to shake...
