CHRIS LONG RUMORS & GOSSIP
Jeff Fisher wants Rams to break NFL’s sack record
It didn't take long for new coach Jeff Fisher to set the bar high -- perhaps too high -- in St. Louis.
Rams defensive end Robert Quinn told CBSSports.com that Fisher's goal for the upcoming season is to break the NFL record for sacks in a single season.
The record is currently held by the 1984 Chicago Bears, who dropped opposing quarterbacks 72 times. Fisher, ironically...

Robert Quinn's emergence as a pass rush weapon
Before the season began, Doug Farrar characterized the Rams' first round draft pick thusly: "Putting Chris Long and Robert Quinn alongside each other might just be illegal." I thought it would be interesting to check back in on Quinn's success last season in light of the PFF annual Pass Rusher Producitivity rankings. Chris Long began showing up well in these rankings...

Long tied with dad's best sack season
ST. LOUIS (AP) If Chris Long gets a sack in the St. Louis Rams' finale on Sunday, he will top the best season ever put together by his Hall of Fame father.
In his mind, he'll still be playing catch-up.
Chris Long has 13 sacks, tied with Howie Long's personal-best total from 1983. The younger Long points out that dad played most of his career as a tackle in a 3-4 defense...

Long leading the way for struggling Rams
ST. LOUIS -- Like most of his teammates in this difficult season, St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long would rather experience group success than individual stardom.
A career-high 13 sacks? He would rather have more victories than an NFC-worst two. A chance to earn a Pro Bowl spot? He would rather compete for an opportunity to make the playoffs.
On Tuesday, Long sat in a small...

Chris Long Takes Huge Strides In Rushing The Passer
After his first three seasons as a member of the St. Louis Rams, some were disappointed with the play of defensive end Chris Long. The Rams drafted Chris Long second overall out of Virginia in the 2008 NFL Draft and to some and his production coming into 2011 had just not met the standards of a second overall pick.
Coming into to 2011, Long's career high in sacks was 8.5 in...

Rams DE Long getting 'feel' for pass-rushing
There are currently four players in the league with a dozen or more sacks and three of them -- DeMarcus Ware (Dallas), Jared Allen (Minnesota), and Jason Babin (Philadelphia) -- have all reached that level at least once previously in their NFL careers.
The new guy: St. Louis defensive end Chris Long, who has played fairly well in his three prior seasons with the Rams, but who was...

Two Long's Make A Right: Comparing A Father & Son
One of the few bright spots all year in the steaming pile of crap that is the St. Louis Rams has been the play of Chris Long. Finally living up to his number two overall draft status this year, Long is currently 3rd in league in sacks with 12 through 14 games.
The Rams defensive end is having a phenomenal year overall. Long is hurt, obviously, by the fact that he's playing...
