Manti Te’o to play the strongside with the Rams?

Fantasy football: Rams defense a sneaky good play vs Jets.

First, the facts: Tony Sparano’s steaming garbage...
Anatomy of a Play: Three key defensive failures vs the 49ers
In some ways, watching game film of the Rams vs the 49ers is an absolute joy, to see a team execute its gameplan to perfection. In others, that same film is agony to watch. Most of the latter moments came on defense, which had a very uneven performance and put our offense behind the 8-ball throughout the second half.

RGIII drama
Image source: Washington Redskins Official Facebook page
RGIII is off to a great start this season, but his comments about the St. Louis Rams taking too many shots at him seemed a little odd as he basically called them out as dirty players:

If you ask James Laurinaitis, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, or Cortland Finnegan odds are they will say they were just playing football.

St. Louis Rams: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#11)
Last week: 11 (+1)
Record: 1-1
Every year, there is one team that goes from 5 wins or fewer to the playoffs. I have a feeling that it’s going to be an NFC team this year, either the Rams, Redskins, or Buccaneers. I’m sticking with my preseason prediction here and putting the Rams in. They’ve looked just as I’ve expected through the first 2 games, almost beating Detroit in...

St. Louis Rams vs. Detroit Lions: Hero and Zero of the Game
As I watched the Detroit Lions defeat the St. Louis Rams 27-23 I was all prepared to declare Cortland Finnegan the hero in a Rams win and Matthew Stafford as the goat having thrown three first half interceptions. All that changed with :10 left in the game.While Finnegan should still be considered a hero, leading St. Louis in tackles, seemingly always around the ball, and an interception...
Rams agree to terms with OLB Rocky McIntosh

Saints face tough road in recovery
The New Orleans Saints relished the chance to deliver knockout blows to opponents. In response, the NFL has slapped the team with enough suspensions to make them woozy.
