RAMS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Rams’ Sam Bradford is impressed with rookie Chris Givens

Sam Bradford is a very rich man, as the #1 overall pick in 2010, the last year of giant rookie contracts. However, he’s very poor in offensive supporting talent. The Rams’ offensive line allowed the most sacks in the league last year and the only reason Bradford wasn’t the most sacked quarterback in the league was because he wasn’t healthy enough to be around for all...

Jenkins' upside is worth the gamble to Rams

ST. LOUIS Janoris Jenkins keeps working. Hes on the side of a practice field with five other defensive backs after a recent organized team activity at Rams Park. He chops his feet in place, each repetition a chance to show his new squad hes more reward than risk. Soon Jenkins swings his hips, his dark-blue shorts flapping with each movement. He turns his torso in the direction...

Rams' receivers getting up to speed with offense, Bradford

The Rams entered the offseason with a pressing need at wide receiver. When the dust settled during the priority phase of free agency, quarterback Sam Bradford still didn't have a No. 1 receiver and the team's top target in 2011, Brandon Lloyd, had signed with the Patriots. With two trades out of the top 10 in the draft, the Rams missed out on top receivers Justin Blackmon...

Breakout year for Rams’ Robert Quinn?

Every year there is at least one player on almost every team who has a breakout season. If you ask ESPN NFL Draft Guru Mel Kiper, for the Rams, that player will be Robert Quinn. Quinn was the 14th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and was widely viewed as a steal at that point, despite missing the entire 2010 College Football season with suspension. Mel Kiper was one of the many...

St. Louis Rams’ Robert Quinn Will Have Breakout Season In 2012

Last year the St. Louis Rams selected defensive end Robert Quinn 14th overall despite the fact that he missed the entire 2010 season at North Carolina. Quinn has to be one of the main reasons for new head coach Jeff Fisher’s prediction that his 2012 Rams team will break the NFL’s all-time sack record. While Quinn alone won’t be able to accumulate enough sacks to set that mark...

Rookie Fantasy Preview: Brian Quick

After the first day of the Draft, there was much speculation that the St. Louis Rams would take a wide receiver with the first pick of the second round. However, Brian Quick was not on the list of desirable wide receiver candidates. Quick was projected to go late in the second round or early in the third.

Rams will benefit from Finnegan's edge

ST. LOUIS Cortland Finnegan entered the NFL with an attitude, a competitive streak that will help the St. Louis Rams rebuild. His reputation was formed before the trash talk on Sundays. It was formed before his aggression, the "dirty player" label among some and the fists thrown at Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson in 2010. It was formed with a nickname given...

Kurt Warner: Past NFL greats

As a St. Louis Rams fan I was used to mediocrity in the eighties and nineties. I was used to ending up behind the San Francisco 49ers in the division. The Rams acquisition of free agent, Trent Green, in 1998 changed the fate of the franchise. Incredibly fast receivers combined with a QB that was reported to be top shelf left the Rams confidently marching into the 1999 season....
