Rams WR Danny Amendola Worthy Of The Franchise Tag?

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio writes that Rams WR Danny Amendola is “performing at a level that will compel the Rams to apply the franchise tag” on him during the offseason. Last year, St Louis placed a second-round tender on Amendola and was able to retain him for a very reasonable salary of $1.972 million. He’s clearly out performed that deal and is deserving a long...

Where to start with the gang thats always green with envy? Theres the 3-6 record, good for last place in the AFC East. There are the three consecutive losses, including a combined 58-16 spanking...

Wayne Hunter not surprised about the Jets’ drama

Former New York Jets and current St. Louis Rams tackle Wayne Hunter isn’t surprised at all at the drama that’s followed his former team. The one thing that always bothered him was how his teammates would throw one another under the bus, the way they did with calling Tim Tebow a terrible quarterback. “I got sick of guys doing that,” Hunter said. “I spoke about that. That...

Brandon Marshall did his best Ryan Franklin impression today

This offseason, it was strongly rumored that the Rams were set to acquire WR Brandon Marshall.  In retrospect, it would have been wise; Marshall is on pace to have the best year of his career and a deep threat paired with Danny Amendola would make any man smile.  Especially Sam Bradford.  And let’s be honest, [...]

Rams' Schottenheimer set to face former team

(Eds: Adds AP Photo.) Brian Schottenheimer is trying to treat the St. Louis Rams' game against his former team, the New York Jets, this weekend as just another game. ''I want to win because it's the next game and we need to get to four wins,'' the Rams' offensive coordinator said. ''It's fun to compete against your friends, but (the games...

Last week: 20 (+1) Record: 3-5-1 On a bye…oh wait…the Rams played last week? But their record didn’t change, so they couldn’t have played right? It wouldn’t be worth busting your ass for 75 minutes if your record didn’t change afterwards right? **** ties. Studs QB Sam Bradford: 26 of 39 for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns, 3 throw aways, 3 batted passes, 2 spikes, 1 hit as...

Six signs of improvement from the Rams' Offense

  Before the bye week, the Rams offense was in a bit of a funk. They couldnt finish enough drives to put the pesky Dolphins away or hang with the Packers, and got absolutely shut down by the Patriots after poking the bear with a 7-0 lead. Predictable questions resurfaced about Sam Bradford's ceiling and quiet doubts began bubbling up in Rams Nation. Then, Bradford...

New York Jets at St. Louis Rams: Week 11 NFL Pick

New York Jets (3-6) at St. Louis Rams (3-5) Someone check me for a concussion because I really like the Jets this week. The Jets are one of two teams I have not picked to cover once this year, along with the Bengals. Yes, their fans hate me. It may seem weird that this is the week I’m going with the Jets because they seem to be at their lowest point, given all that’s happened...
