TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
Photo by Tim Heitman/ USA TODAY SportsFor the past few years the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) and St. Louis Rams (1-3) have had similar records. This year both teams are hanging out near the bottom of the standings once again. The two organizations have had their flashes of success every so often, but it is just that, a flash. This Sunday the Jaguars will travel to the Edward Jones Dome to face the Rams. This is a game not many people will be dialed into, as both teams have big holes to fill. The Rams made a lot of moves this offseason in order to improve the weapons surrounding quarterback Sam Bradford. Although most of the moves made were for the better of the team, one move decapitated the Rams; the departure of Steven Jackson. I do believe it was the right move to make, but St. Louis did nothing to improve the running game. Last season Daryl Richardson was a spark on offense, but he didn’t have to carry the load. As the starter this season, defenses have been able to shut him down...

Right now the St. Louis Rams are facing the cure all for ailing teams: the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Rams secondary is banged up and leading the way is veteran CB Cortland Finnegan. With Finnegan (hamstring) and Trumaine Johnson (illness) missing practice again on Thursday, including the injury to safety T.J. McDonald (fractured leg) and the secondary will be a mix and match bunch.

Rams welcome Dunbar back after PED suspension with open arms -- but why?

Looking back now at the handwringing that took place on August 14 when the NFL suspended Rams starting outside linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar for cheating the hearty welcome the defensive sledgehammer received upon his return on Tuesday seemed sort of odd. It probably shouldn't have. This is how the NFL rolls. A guy can pump himself with more steroids than a factory chicken get...

How Important is Cortland Finnegan to the Rams' Pass Defense?

As the St Louis Rams gear up for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, they will have to take the field without Cortland Finnegan, who is nursing a hamstring injury. "Good," many fans will say, and point to his absurdly high passer rating against this season, or take the long view and point out his sad decline over the past year. It is assumed that the defense...

Although not many believed the St. Louis Rams were going to contend for a playoff spot, many within the organization believed they were going to at least improve on their 7-8-1 record from last season. So far all the new weapons the Rams added during the offseason have failed...

A month ago, excitement was at an all-time high in St. Louis for the St. Louis Rams. Sure they lost three of their top offensive weapons in Steven Jackson, Danny Amendola and Brandon Gibson, but with the same offensive coordinator as last year for Sam Bradford, new rookie playmakers on both the offensive & defensive ends of the ball, and momentum built up from a 7-8-1 2012 season...
