Throughout the 2012 offseason, we will be taking a look at each NFL team from a keeper/dynasty perspective. Keeper leagues are very unique, with widely varying formats, but the following are observations based on reasonable draft positions in 2011. Further discussion of different keeper/dynasty decisions and trades is welcome in the comments below. We start by taking a look at the...

The Super Bowl Champion has been crowned and the 2011 season is officially in the books. From here on out, it's all about next season. So here's a premature (and tongue-in-cheek) look at how the NFC will play out in 2012: NFC East Eagles– Predicted record: 13-3. Front office slyly offers to pay Desean Jackson in gum; to which he responds: “Is that new Trident...

INDIANAPOLIS _ If just watching Super Bowl XLVI on television isn't enough, Rams running back Steven Jackson and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson will interact with fans via social media tod

The 2012 recruiting cycle is over and National Signing Day is now behind us. It's been a drama filled week loaded with both good and bad news.   Jordan Jenkins finished the week up with his signing ceremony today, we had the Josh Harvey-Clemons saga, and now the recent events resulting in three players being kicked off of the football team. We all know how important this...

February 1st was National Letter of Intent Day. This is like Christmas for many football programs and their fans. But just like when you were 8 years old and got that shiny new fire truck under the tree and did not play with it anymore after February, so is life for many of these "prospects". Duck and Beaver fans are excited and they should be; a top 20 showing for U of...

The days of Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and the "Greatest Show On Turf" are still in the back of our minds, but those memories are rapidly fading deeper and deeper into the past. The death of that era has sparked a lengthy drought in St. Louis—While the 2001 Rams won 14 games in a single season, the current team has won only 15 games in the last five years combined...

Rams' Top Draft Need and Free Agency Need Draft Fans keep asking me who the Rams should draft. Of course this assumes that I'm ignoring all the expert football analysts who say the Rams should trade thei top Draft pick. The Rams are known for not trading their first-round picks but with new staff on board there's no telling what they'll do. I do think that...

2011 was a year of extreme disappointment for the Philadelphia Eagles. Never before has a season that began with such promise crashed and burned the way the "Dream Team" did. The circumstances of the lockout and the shortened free agent period inflated expectations and brought hope to a disenfranchised fan base. The Eagles came out of the lockout with an aggressive free...

Now that the St. Louis Rams have overhauled their coaching staff and had a real organizational makeover in many respects, fans are interested to know just what the current personnel may look like under this new Jeff Fisher led staff. One player in particular is very excited about the prospect of playing for Fisher and his importance to the Rams is arguably the highest of anyone....

Here we go again on the search for backup help to Steven Jackson in the Rams' backfield. The free-agent additions of Cadillac Williams and Jerious Norwood looked good on paper last summer at the start

Fisher's no-nonsense, smash-mouth approach has Rams running back revved up.

A year to forget should be the slogan of 2011 for the St. Louis Rams. Just one year ago Sam Bradford was having an impressive rookie year with not a lot around him. They ended up an impressive 7-9 competing for the Division. This season they decided to take 4 steps back; it even seemed like Sam Bradford was in the race for Luck. They tallied up two wins by a combined 11 points, fired...

The season isn’t even over yet but is it really too soon to start obsessing about our keepers or draft strategies for next season? If you have a life unlike me then the answer is probably yes. Thankfully I found a woman who loved me for the loser I am so obsessing about next season isn’t a problem. Of course, there is the NFL Draft which will affect things as will coaching...

Sam Bradford of the St. Louis Rams has had three offensive coordinators in his three first years in the NFL. The newest member of the team is Brian Schottenheimer, the former offensive coordinator of the New York Jets. Once rumored for the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching position once the position was filled the Jets quickly removed the coordinator and son of legendary coach Marty...

After a 2-14 season, Steven Jackson was visibly frustrated, but he now has optimism again because the St. Louis Rams may turn into a consistent winner with recent hiring of Jeff Fisher. Commenting on the new head coach, Jackson recently stated, “Now that I have confirmation that Jeff is going to be the guy, I’m very excited. I’ve only heard good things about him...

Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher claps on the sidelines during an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Florida in this November 16, 2008 file photo. Fisher’s run as the longest tenured NFL head coach came to end when he and the Titans agreed to part company on Thursday. “The Tennessee Titans and Jeff Fisher have agreed to part ways and Fisher will no longer be the...

Top 6 Rams Stories from 2011 There weren't too many stories from the Rams' 2011 season. There isn't much to tell from a team that goes 2-14. Even the 2011 Draft wasn't too exciting or eventful for the Rams. The fact that the Rams went 2-14 was a shocker since expectations were high for them coming off a 7-9 season. It was a quiet season for the Rams aside from...

Per a report from Ron Clements of CBSSports.com The Rams have requested permission to speak with Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden for their open head coach position, according to Bernie Miklasz of 101ESPN and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Bengals had the NFL’s 20th-ranked offense this season under rookie QB Andy Dalton. Not willing to be held hostage by Jeff Fisher...

It is odd that the day after the St. Louis Rams closed out a 2-14 season losing to the NFC West Champion San Francisco 49ers, the Rams would find themselves as possibly the hottest prospect for the future in the NFL. The Rams and their broken ways have secured them the 2nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft; a very valuable commodity that they can turn into multiple 1st round picks with...

The St. Louis Rams had nothing to play for but pride yesterday and they left everything they had on the field, before coming up just a tad short.  Kellen Clemens completed 14 of 31 passes for 226 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 18 yards (9.0 ypc) with 1 TD run yesterday.  Tom Brandstater finished up the game at QB after Clemens got injured...

St. Louis played like a team trying to save its head coach's job, but lost to the 49ers, 34-27. Fantasy Spin: Kellen Clemens had 226 yards and a TD passing, and also added 18 yards and a TD rushing as well. He had to leave on the Rams last drive, however, after hurting his ankle. Steven Jackson had 76 yards rushing, with Cadillac Williams adding a TD and 17 yards on the ground. After...

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson injured his left arm in the third quarter and the team said his return was questionable. Jackson appeared to be hurt after dropping a low screen pass and then tackled hard by a pair of San Francisco 49ers. He left for the locker room with about five minutes to go in the third quarter Sunday. Jackson had 76 yards on 16 carries, a huge improvement...
